Since our purchase of our first electric vehicle and experiencing it first-hand, we have gathered some more parameters of comparisons an electric car.
Specifically speaking Tesla. The key question remained - why would I spend $1300 a month to lease Tesla vs $300 a month for B-Class. ?
Here is a short comparison:
All wheel drive vs. Front wheel drive: as you may have guessed the key reason for Tesla's electric performance (pun intended) is the fact that it has two engines (models of 2015 above), so to speak, which drives all wheels.
Double the size of the battery: B-Class comes with 31 KWh battery pack vs. Tesla's base model S comes with 60 KWh.
Chargers: Tesla comes with four charging options including its super fast charging option. B-Class has only two AC options which gives you the fastest speed of full charge in 4-5 hours. B-Class does not even come with an option of DC Chargers which some others has an option of.
Free Charging: while free charging is still an option via many free chargers in our area, Tesla offers free pubic charging options to all their customers. This means, literally, FREE GAS when you buy Tesla. - A value of at least $200 per month.
No dealer hopping: Tesla is bought online, just like you would buy toilet paper. No haggling, no shopping no dealers cash and none of that. Interestingly you can now by pre-owned Tesla too.
In Summary: It is an individual definition of value which will decide if Tesla's high performance, long range, quick charging options, free charging, simple clear transparent buying process without any feeling of "I may have paid more! :)) - is worth $1300 a month.
