New first world problem - got the memo from the mechanic that I should stop repairing this car and drive it into the ground while planning for a replacement - can't decide if I want to buy something shitty as a temporary thing while waiting for electrics to get more affordable or go all out for an electric now.... decisions.
[And they don't sell Tesla's here yet either from what I can tell before anyone says just go Tesla and be happy with it - I would buy a Tesla in a heartbeat if I could - and it doesn't make any sense they don't with SpaceX another Elon Musk project next door... you'd think we'd be a priority area - especially being engineer heavy...]
Also before anyone asks why - I'm sure gas will go back up again (and FL is really reasonable for electricity costs compared to what I was used to in the NE) but the primary reason is because of repairs, besides replacing the battery the whole thing is only a handful of parts - repairs are super low labor and maintenance is super low. Tree hugging stuff is a nice bonus too, and actually makes sense here since I'm on a Natural Gas power grid apparently [or something like that, just got a rate reduction for electric because of NG prices being lower].
