We get a little over 4 miles per kWh in our model 3 and here in TV we are paying a little under 13 cents. So 25kWh to go 100 miles or $3.25....or about the price of 1 gallon of gas. That's the math dude!

(charging at night doesn't impact the grid at all)

It cost us $38K...and then Joe Biden gave us $7500 back on our taxes so just over $30K....toyota camry price

So...cheaper to run, not particularly expensive to buy, those are the facts.

As for the OP....I think it might be tough to find a private party to rent a car to drive to Orlando. But if you wanna go for a ride sometime and drive it on a "normal" road (i.e. not horrible traffic) shoot me a note and we'll do it!
