Regular ICE cars generally take around 5 years of every-day driving to break even on their production cost. That cost is quite a lot higher for electric cars and considering most of them are still luxury products which are traded in as soon as a newer version comes out, it's unlikely that most of them will ever break even. How many Tesla owners do you know who've had the same model for more than 3 years? If you buy electric cars because you genuinely enjoy them, good on you, don't let anybody tell you what to do. But if you buy a Tesla thinking you're doing the world a favor though then you're just a fucking idiot, and that's all I have to said to that. Genuine, fucking, idiot.<br><br>If you want to help the planet, get a car that's at least 10 years old and has at least 100.000 Km clocked in, because if nothing else at least that car has already earned it's keep and won't be creating more job opportunities for African children. Nor does it require that you buy Musk's Season Pass just to get your brake fluid changed.
