It is true that at the moment a conventional (non-electric) vehicle is cheaper. However some people do want to own a car that has a lower negative impact on the environment and are willing to pay more money for that (which is a good thing).

This is a factor for me. I’ve never owned a car and if I can help it, want to avoid ever buying an ICE or partially-ICE vehicle. There’s a tiny used EV market, but it’s mostly filled with early entrant models that make serious compromises, making buying from it somewhat impractical.

So I’m now considering buying a model 3 in the next 1-2 years. If I can’t make it work financially, I’ll just make do without a car until that changes.
