Friend just bought a tesla model 3 performance. It can't make it to Richmond and back from Norfolk without recharging. It's a 200 mile round trip. $20 to recharge it to 80%, which takes almost an hour.
$587/mo insurance. Mid 40s, clean driving record, no points, no accidents. Nearly 4x what they were paying. This isn't Tesla's insurance though. Tesla's insurance constantly looks at driving habits. Every time the app is opened, it's a different premium and it's no cheaper. Best we can tell is it updates every 15 minutes.
There's interior cameras that continuously monitors occupants.
It records and uploads camera, audio and location data.
Lives in an apartment, which charges extra for the garage with chargers. The chargers are level 2. Residents are limited to 2 hours per day. If multiple cars are charging, they all drop to level 1 charging. There's always multiple cars charging. This seems to be how most apartments around here are handling EVs.
