I don't know why you would but I can tell you why I would: Cost.
As much as I love EV's and would be thrilled to own a Tesla, I can't afford one. I'm spending at my limit right now as it is:
Monthly:
Payments: $180
Insurance:$150
Fuel:$100-$200
Repairs/maintenance About $120/month average for past three years.
If I traded it all in and got a Tesla how would that compare?
Add to that I only have two years left of payments. I'm driving a full sized car at that price and would prefer a minivan if o changed vehicles. I also prefer FWD or AWD over RWD since I live in a snowy area and I'm not completely sold on RWD yet. Also, heading south it's 269 miles to the nearest Tesla super charging station unless I want to add 3 hours to the trip.
But please, feel free to try to convince me to get an EV again. I love EVs!
