..and my 15 year old, almost 200k mile, 4,000 pound Toyota got 29mpg highway on my last road trip. We'll see how well 15 year old EVs last up here in the snow belt
I just thought it was funny because you made the assumption that the battery cost is killer. The battery will pay for itself in gas savings by the time you need a new one. And even if the battery does degrade some. 60% battery on a 300 mile range is still a drivable car. Now The leafs from 10 years ago that had a 90 mile range, not so much.
Cold weather I am sure will hurt some life and definitely running the heat ruins the range but hey, I guess I should have known your location before responding.
How about you add up your maintenance over your 200K life. Probably couple thousand on oil change alone. Not to mention other things. The biggest wins to me are no maintenance besides tires and not stopping at gas stations. That second one you cannot understand until you experience it. Currently do not have electric car but boy do I miss that perk.
Anyways, I am not buying a Model Y but if you think a battery will not pay for itself over the lifetime comparing it to your gas savings, you are crazy.
I'm afraid of running over something damaging the battery and burning my house in a few weeks.
Or driving the tesla thought lots of muddy water.
Or simply parking it for 2 weeks in the airport and coming back to a depleted battery.

If you are doing 55 to 60 on a windly day with average 70s to 80s degree, then you do get close to that. If you doing 75 and on a cold day, you can forget about the range.
These things come new with steering wheels that fall off, brake pads not installed, etc.
There's also lots of stories of full charging stations and 7-8 hour wait times to start charging, then add the charging time. Infrastructure isn't there.
There more, but two more bullet points.

Also your odds of a gas car catching on fire are much higher than an EV (with Hybrids being much worse than either)
Parked, unplugged, with sentry mode off, you lose about 1-2% of range a week. So unless you parked with 5% battery for some reason you'd be fine after 2 weeks.
Even if you accidentally left sentry on (which will cost 5-8% a day), it turns itself off at 20% battery precisely to make this a non-issue- meaning you'd STILL be fine for 2 weeks (or even 4 weeks or longer).
This thread is quite amusing. Tesla is so polarizing.
