It is a fabulous vehicle. Did you buy the vehicle to save money on gas? I may not have said it correctly, but what I meant, nobody I knew bought a Model S primarily to save money on gas.

Ah ok fair enough, when I buy a vehicle I suppose I use a weighted algorithm of pros and cons and saving money on gas wouldn't have been at the top of my pros list.

I guess I could qualify by saying I care more about about overall value during the course of ownership than I do about initial purchase price. Gas savings and reduced maintenance costs vs the ICE alternative were important factors in my decision making.

Falling Lithium Prices Are Making Electric Cars More Affordable
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/20/business/lithium-prices-falling-electric-vehicles.html


"Since January, the price of lithium has dropped nearly 20 percent, according to Benchmark Minerals, even as sales of electric vehicles have soared. Cobalt, another important battery material, has fallen by more than half. Copper, essential to electric motors and batteries, has slipped about 18 percent, even though U.S. mines and copper-rich countries like Peru are struggling to increase production."
