Anyone trading their Taco for a Tesla Model 3?

Thinking about trading my 2017 OR for a model 3. As much as I love the truck, the gas mileage is starting to wear on me. 15-16 MPG vs free with the Tesla (have free charging at work!)

 

Nope

 

Do you need a truck?

Yea you should.

 

If a Tesla will serve your needs, you don't need a truck. Go for it.

 

Free will not last forever.

 

Just considering it probably means you don’t need the truck

Indeed. It would be the equivalent of a job with a fuel allowance or fuel card.

 

My own personal opinion is the Tesla 3 is a weenie mobile. Too little, too plain and reminds me of a Saturn. To me the Model S is the only Tesla I'd own. Even the X looks like a funeral car.

 

I don't understand why people buy expensive vehicles then complain about known gas mileage. If you can afford a 35k truck then how is gas a big deal? Gas is such a small expense compared to the truck.

If you buy an expensive Tesla, you'll probably have other costs too.

If you want cheap, a Prius c is around what... 15k? Those get close to 50 mpg.

 

I've thought about getting a tesla in a few years after i pay off my truck, but in addition to the truck..

 

Hell no. I didn’t buy a truck for mpgs

 

Keep the truck and buy a Model 3 also

 

Does the model 3 have a bed and let you jump curbs with impunity?

 

I had an electric car when I was like.....6 years old. Even back then the batteries died. Ive seen plenty of Tacomas go over 300k miles. Not sure a plugin car can do that.

 

^But then you can sell him Tesla headlight retrofits.

 

I just came here for the hilariousness that is the 3rd gen subforum.

I hope if anyone traded their Taco for a Tesla that they ELECTRON Tacos by blocking the gas pump like trucks like to "ICE" Teslas by parking in the supercharger spots.
