Are Tesla owners coming out ahead in general now that gas is $5-6 gallon in the CA area? Is there a clear graph that says for every $100 an ICE car spends on gas, how much does a Tesla spend to go the same distance if they can get cheap kwh rate like around 24 cents? I think it's gotten so bad with gas that one of my friends will do anything he can to not drive his Honda Element, usually by taking the train, or asking me for a ride as long as I'm around.
I did a long distance one day drive from San Clemente / Orange County, Lancaster, Bakersfield, and back to OC. Started out at 100% when I left home, all the supercharging costed about $30 for the day, then probably $20 to recharge at home since I came back with 10% battery, so used up all my energy.
My friend said our round trip distance was about the same as going from OC to Las Vegas one way. My friend offered to pay $25 for the arcade he wanted to visit and let me keep all the prizes which was a Monopoly & playing cards.
And my arcade friends always ask me to drive, which is fine with me, they always find a fair way to compensate me. Maybe it's giving me arcade prizes. Or maybe one of them will help me win tickets on my card so I can make twice the tickets in the same time. One of them now only takes the train and hardly drives his Honda Element because $5-6 gallon will cost him a ton if he does any 1-2 hour drives. I am wondering how much leverage I have being a Tesla owner when friends want me to drive b/c of gas prices.
