I just enjoy having great technology
I'm also happy BMW is going forward with i-series
Where did you pull your 17k/year estimate?
Is it your behind perhaps
P.S. Just so we are clear. I didn't say it takes less time to fill up, it just takes zero personal time for me
For those trips, I can live with 30-60 min lunch breaks on supercharger 2-3 times a year, while pulling free electrons

60 -month car payment about $1,187.35/month + $101 for electricity (3,300 miles/month) + $2,301.01 state personal annual property tax = $17,761.04 per year. I'd love to get a Tesla, but right now the total cost of ownership is too high. I've got nothing against the car, except the people who try and justify it re-fill cycle is better than an ICE vehicle; it's not, just get over it. If it works for you great, but not every car works for every personal situation.
Garage is a workshop for wood working and automobiles. House is 250 years old, just can't add a garage onto it because it would look stupid. I built a 3-car carport for most of my cars which is 45 seconds from the house but has no electricity in it. The OP assumed I spend 30-minutes fueling my car, he's wrong, and this is a stupid conversation. I originally asked what car takes 30-minutes to fill up (actually put fuel into its storage tank) and we get into some dumb-ass conversation about personal time. Until the EV came out with long charge cycles no one ever considered "personal time" as a car buying decision factor; this is a made-up stupid argument.
