exactly. a cheap beater makes more sense than EV at this point for me. I drive around 80 miles a day round trip all highway. There won't be any depreciation, 87 octane is cheap, you dont even have to put full coverage on it just liability which is like $10-15 a month.

if i run the numbers its like 1500-1600 a year in gas, driving 20k miles a year averaging 30mpg. its going to take a long long time before my 6k civic loses out to 30k+ tesla.
