Ok, wasn't cheap.

But a puppy just like this one will be in my garage in about a month.....(pictured: Model 3 at Martin Place showroom Sydney)

Fuel cost...hummm...depends on how much our rooftop PV system can deliver....

...but assuming a 55kw of charge @ 11 cents per Kw (off peak rates) and say 20Kw from our PV system (the car battery needs 75kw for a full charge) , then $6.05 for 600km (Tesla quote a 620 km range, but, I don't believe them)

Yes, around 1 cent per kilometre.

My current wheels run at about 13 cents per kilometre....i.e. an order of magnitude more.

OK I could have bought a another petrol/diesel burner and saved a motza on the capex of the Tesla...but...for local running about I can just use PV, emissions are zero.

Way cool
