and continued until the last couple of years.

Just checked the Tesla site and saw a 2021 Model 3 with almost 80k miles for $25,700. Find one under $24k and you are eligible for a $3500 tax credit from the IRS.

Depends on how many miles you drive on how much you would save on gas and oil changes.

Also as you probably know, there are a number of states that have considerable incentives on top of the Federal.

Edited to add >>> I picked Tesla mostly because they make the best battery and have the best charging network (which I seldom use).
