    A model 3 and a Corolla don't really compare though. I really wouldn't want to put more money into Musk's pocket right now, but you might want to drive a 3 (if you enjoy driving). I don't think I'd recommend the base model, but my AWD from 2018 is so much fun. Going from $6k/year for fuel to $0 was a big consideration, but that was only part of the picture. Endless spending for BMW maintenance was yet another factor. Fewer moving parts is better.

    I was going to say that everyone qualifies for the federal EV tax credit, but yeah, it looks like that's not the case anymore since it's not available for $300k+ joint filers.

    For the charging infrastructure, maybe that's more of an issue in the EV-unfriendly states? I'm in California and chargers are everywhere.

    When 1200bps modems first became available I was already able (and expected) to use my own phone line and pay for it myself. A benefit(?) of being gen-x I guess.
