At 10,000 miles per year do not think I could live that long to break even.

Tesla owners drive an EV not just because they are 3 times more efficient than antiquated ICE vehicles. We drive an EV because they are more fun. Modern, quiet, clean, smooth. Auto drive feature is sweet as is one pedal driving (it brakes and stops itself). But the best feature is the instant torque when pressing down the right foot. None of that lag associated with combustion, turbochargers, or downshifting. Sheer acceleration. Then the downer is when I have to drive my Chevy Colorado with its 3.6 liter V6. What a dog compared to the Tesla.
