This just isn't true. The cost of ownership of a Model 3 vs even a Civic will save almost $2k/year.

Cost of ownership wise nothing will be cheaper. Check your facts.

So I'm wrong because a car shipping in volume in 12-18 months will be cheaper than a car I can buy right now?

I also wonder about the math. Edmunds puts a Civic at about $5000 a year (for 15,000 miles):

To save $2000 a year over that, a Model 3 has to go ~10 years with minimal costs beyond electricity.
