That's because most bad drivers can't handle a Tesla's acceleration. They drive like idiots. If you had driven one, you would understand. I am going to buy a second Tesla after having my first for only a year.
I have driven them and many other fast ICE cars. Your argument has no bearing on the fact that you are more likely to die in a Tesla than any other car brand. The next closest is Kia if that tells you anything. The experts actually believe the main contributor is FSD, not people racing them/accelerating too fast. Basically people get too lazy and don't stay in control when something FSD can't handle happens. They weren't ready to take control when they needed too.

If you are going to spend this amount of money, do -not- buy this car.

Buy a model 3 or a model Y instead.

They are both far superior when compared to this Ford.
A model Y is $20,000 more than this. No comparison.

Thanks! Well I get that, that if I never charged it, sort of defeats the purpose, might as well buy a normal car. It just seemed like in this one instance with all the credits, that dealer is showing a price of just 27K then I guess 29K out the door as OP said after taxes and such.

I checked and the lowest MSRP on a normal gas only Escape is $29,495
Now maybe there are incentives that bring that down but it just seems like the hybrid is far cheaper than the regular one with the tax credit.

So if someone wanted an escape, why buy the regular if the hybrid is the same even if you never charge it ? Or maybe I am missing something.
You still have not got it. Traditional car vs. hybrid vs. plug-in hybrid vs. EV.

I drive a Chevrolet Volt PHEV. It has 50 miles of electric range (13KWH battery). It really is a sweet spot as a second car for mostly in town driving, or a full-electric alternative for a single car household.

I plug it in to 110 (12A) outlet overnight and get a full charge in about 10 hours. Most days that I drive it I only use the electric power. On days I drive more or if I forget to plug it in, I just use the gas in the tank. It has a 9 Gallon fuel tank which gives about 325 miles of driving on gas.

When I go on road trips I put it in gas mode while I'm on the highway and save the battery for when I'm doing city driving or hit stop and go traffic. On long trips (600M) the volt averages about 40mpg of mostly gas driving.

Outside of long road trips I buy gas once every 3-4 months. My electric bill is high, but it's still only about $100/month in electricity for 30-50 miles of driving each day (California, 15c/KWh). I don't have severe winters where I live, so the cold is only a factor when I go to the ski hill.

If you truly intend to never charge the PHEV, then get a non-plug in hybrid instead. PHEV cars have a larger battery which means driving around more weight burns more fuel. If you're never charging that battery to full, then there's no use in hauling it around.
May I ask which California you live in to get that electric price?

Considering you can buy a used Tesla for much cheaper, purchasing this would be a terrible choice. Tesla is better in every possible way.

I own a Tesla and love it and this is a terrible argument. PHEV is for people that worry about range anxiety for long trips and can also benefit from daily short drives in full EV mode. And why would someone buy a used car when a new PHEV is almost the same price?

Nope. You got it wrong. A 'normal' car does not have an extra large, electric motor. Driving a plug-in hybrid PARTIALLY charges the big, expensive hybrid battery. Plugging it in, FULLY charges the big battery for maximum mpg.

May I see a source on "experts actually believe the main contributor is FSD"? The vast majority of Tesla drivers don't even have FSD.

Nah. It's more like $15k, and there's also 0% financing. Plus you can't find this Ford deal nationwide.

if you don't plan on charging it and keeping it long term, down the line it may cost more for repairs if anything electrical battery related needs repair. I've heard if the plug in battery goes bad the car won't run off just the engine. I've read that. I've not confirmed it or on all models.

Do you get the $3750 clean vehicles credit deducted directly on the point of sale? Or we have to apply from government when file 2024 tax return?

FSD has a record that beats manual driving. It's not FSD. On the other hand, I have never seen reliable statistics on deaths per mile per car make. Yes, random websites offer their own "data".

Consumer Reports gave this model a rating of 74, recommended, at a tested price of $43,725. Note that the non-hybrid model score much lower in ratings and owner satisfaction.
