TC:185k renting, no charger at home so dont know if that will be an issue (bay area)
go Bolt 2018 version. You could save tons more.
Wait for the new Volvo EV next year.
Depends on how far you drive to work/fun etc. If no charger at home, that might become an issue.
Isn’t Tesla a luxury brand? Why would you want the cheapest option from a luxury brand?
No charger at home IS an issue. Go Civic until you can get a Level 2 charger for your home. If your house has a 240 Volt dryer plug then you’ll be okay with a Tesla. You’ll thank me later for saving you the stress. If you’re in an apartment that doesn’t have any option to charge then don’t get the Tesla.
If no charger at home then definitely get a Tesla and pay for the super chargers. They’re fast and they’re spread out everywhere. And you can charge at work. And you’ll love that car so much more than a bolt or any other EV on the market. They aren’t even in the same league. We have a Tesla and a charger at home and prefer to just charge it at the super chargers. 99% of the time. We’ve also taken it to LA and range anxiety isn’t a problem.
If you are single or dating - Tesla If you are out of the dating world - Honda
Model 3 100% you can install a 240 volt dryer plug and charge at a 25 miles per hour rate. Plus once the Tesla Network goes live you can send your car out to give rides which will make you money while you work. Elon Musk estimates the average Tesla owner could earn $25K per year of passive income. Could a Civic do that? Oh and you won't be puffing poisonous gas into the air.
If you want electric go bolt, you can get a 2019 for cheap
