I drive 21,000 miles a year. At 18 mpg that's $390 a month for gas. That buys another car.
EDIT - 50 miles each way
Ok so go buy a civic with 36 mpg.
I personally think commuting 100 miles a day is kinda stupid. What are you sitting in the car for two hours atleast?
36 mpg still costs ~$195 a month for gas. Electricity costs ~$45 a month. Plus no oil changes, no air filters, and brake jobs every 150,000 miles or so.
It's easily 2 hours a day, closer to 3 a lot of days. That's one of the things you do so your kids can have a nice house with a nice yard and a pool in a neighborhood that isn't full of nigger and spic gangbangers, not to mention that even the private schools closer in are just filled with worthless third world trash.
A Civic costs ~$20k, the cheapest tesla starts at ~$40k. Both cars depreciate, but you're losing more with the higher MSRP.
Honda makes some of the most reliable engines in the world, Tesla is consistently ranking worst for reliability.
I'd take the Civic any day.
