Realized that with my new job I’m at $500/month for gas. Starting to seriously consider a hybrid or electric but damn they expensive. Either way might just need something more reliable than my 320k+ car.

Whatchya driving, do you like it, and why?

I drive one for Uber as my full time gig. I spend about $125/wk on charging exclusively at superchargers.i could mitigate this substantially of I was able to put a home charger in.

People on the left hate Elon, tech people think a car can't drive itself without a weapons grade sensor array, and people on the right hate using electricity for propulsion, car people are threatened by electric car's acceleration, or that the battery is going to die and I'll need to get a new car.

I think it's important to note that all of those fears are completely unfounded and some are just ridiculous. Also that you can lease one now for literally $250/mo, so not really so expensive to own.
