The #1 cost in owning a Tesla at least will be the insurance. The next highest cost will probably be the tires especially if you enjoy that acceleration all the time, and replace with factory similar spec tires. Hopefully on the VW ID4 insurance will be better, and the less weight and power maybe keep tires around longer. I know the higher trim ID4 get 20" wheels, anybody know what the base gets? Hopefully not 19, that is the worst decision any car company can make for a wheel size that basically doubles replacement costs. You are better off paying more for the 20s initially. 18s or even better yet 17s or 16s are the best for long term lowered costs.
