Now is a good time to get a good deal on used Tesla, but I realize they are not right for everyone.

The best way to save money is to keep your old car. Battery is the most expensive part of an EV. Battery is even more expensive than the motor. Battery gradually loses capacity over the years even if you don't drive it.
Some governments seemed obsessed with forcing EV's on everyone. EV's are not the only way to reduce CO2 emissions. Smaller cars are also a good way to reduce our carbon footprint.
I'm very happy with my EV, but I don't want to force them on others. They have advantages and disadvantages.

- No. There is no free lunch. Energy for charging batteries has to be generated by some source. - GOG April 6, 2025, 9:50 am
- The CAR has nothing to do with the issue. It is the POWER SOURCE that is central to the issue.
