Car note ~$265* (I currently have $41K saved, and will maybe have ~$55K put away by then. Also, once I have the Tesla, I will be selling my Audi to Carmax, so I may even be able to pay off my $10-15k car note before the 1st payment is due.)
MA Tax, Title, Reg (6.25% sales tax on $65K...I'm going Ludicrous...) $4,187.50
Insurance $675/year (estimated based on my current policy)
Electrons = $6.60/month (4 mile commute, average price of $0.10/kWh, NEMA 14-50)
If I break all that into monthly, plus factor in the $7500 EV Credit, plus MA's $2500 EV rebate, my monthly cost is estimated to be:
$676.80
(but breaking the tax benefits down into monthly numbers means I would come out "ahead" $156.53/month)
Not bad for spending close to $65,000
(of course, the more I drive it, the more I'll save compared to an ICE, so there's that)
