I would rather take the $15k and have two hybrid cars if both need transportation. Only reason in my opinion to have a golf cart if you don’t golf is because you have a one and half garage like we do.
I agree with this. It all depends on your usage. We recently bought a house with a 2.5 car garage. We don't play much golf, but we both often participate in activities at rec centers that are 20 minutes by car (45 minutes by golf cart) so it is more practical for us to have 2 cars. If we ever start playing a lot of golf, I will probably also get a cart.

A full plug-in EV like a Tesla will work great for TV, especially if your other car is gasoline for longer trips. EVs are a real pain if you're going more than 75 miles.
