I like my tesla. Got a 1.7% loan on it so basically making money due to inflation. Elons cult of fanboys is annoying but it’s a good car if you have home charging options
I don’t have home charging options and it’s above my budget
Rav4 plugin hybrid is best of both worlds if you can find one without a huge dealer markup
Plug in Hybrid if you want to use it for travels as well.
Is there another kind of hybrid?
Yes, the hybrid alone is like Toyota Prius, you can’t charge the battery yourself, the battery will only charge when you brake/etc. whereas the phev allows you to charge the battery yourself as well.
No you don’t need to worry that much about maintenance costs. Get one from toyota, they have been making one from 20 years. Prius hybrids have been on road and success. You see 10 yr old hybrids doing well with reasonable to no maintenance. Only you may have to change battery pack as battery are consumable, still very easy to do than in a tesla. So get the new RED RAV 4 prime and enjoy 👍
Tesla is not expensive at all. Model 3 is a perfectly priced car. Your other option is Toyota Prius
It’s not expensive? You pay close to 50-60k for their stupid model 3, a regular ass car.
$50k-60? You must be kidding me. I got model 3 2021 for $43,000 total (new with tax)
Buy a bike.
Ebike or stone age bike?
Had Chevy volt(plug in hybrid) and currently have a Tesla. Definitely recommend full EV. If you get a hybrid, you'll be wishing you had EV whole time
Can you elaborate? The main concern with EV is the lack of charging stations especially if I want to go outside the Bay Area. Also charging is a hassle as no superchargers nearby
