Well for starters, now you are going to have to take into account liability insurance costs. I’m 69 years old and married with a clean driving record and it costs about $197 dollars a year to insure my Kawasaki Ninja 300 for liability.
What’s the liability insurance per month on a Tesla? Anybody?

I read that Teslas have very high accident rates, similar to Corvettes. But I can’t find where I saw that. I could be mistaken.

Apparently, that includes collision comprehensive and uninsured motorist coverage. If I wreck my Ninja 300 and it’s my fault, I’m pretty much SOL.
