My EV Story: Lucas' Tesla Model 3
February 07, 2020
I have been wanting an electric vehicle ever since I saw the first Nissan LEAF.
At the time, I never had the need to switch. But when I started to drive full time for UBER, my old Hyundai Elantra was not cutting it when it came to cost or maintaining the car. I drive 60k miles a year and all city miles.
I thought to buy a LEAF but saw a Tesla Model 3 was only $3,000 more, so I bought the Tesla.
It has been problem-free and costs me only $4 a day to operate and charge under EWEB power at home.
I love my EV. It helps keep costs down and drops my reliance on fossil fuels. I will never switch back to a combustion vehicle.
