Cheap to run (3 cents per mile electricity) and just replace tires and wiper blades once in a while. No more getting ripped off in the Stealership service department during scheduled service which will save you many 1000s over 25 years.

EVs just make sense for retirees in Florida. Also, look at Toyota/Subaru latest EV offerings.

Also, crude oil bubbles up from the earth and resides FAR deeper than any fossil. Hydrocarbons are not "Fossil Fuel". Fossil fuel is a 150 year old myth.
Toyota/Subaru EV'S do not have full self driving. That is why Tesla is stomping all the other EV's out there.
The FSD function is what sells Tesla.
