1 year agoAs others have said, if you don’t fully understand the implications of opening a port, you shouldn’t open a port. Use something like TailScale or ZeroTier. You’ll still be able to access your services but you don’t need to open any ports.
I just bought a used Model Y a couple weeks ago. I’ll go through my experience with your points one by one.
Insurance: My insurance actually went down about $15/mo. I suspect because of all the safety and security features
Registration is based on vehicle value here. It’s higher, but only because the car is worth more.
If you can get a guaranteed 10% interest on a investment, that’s amazing. As someone else mentioned take out a loan for a lower rate and invest the $10K in this amazing guaranteed investment.
I haven’t used a supercharger yet. I will most likely do 99% of my charging at home, where the electricity is MUCH cheaper than gas. Not only that, it’s much more convenient.
4a. Another note on charging. Before I bought the MY I actually timed how long it took to fill up at a gas station. Pulling off the interstate and stopping at the nearest station with no waiting in line, then getting back to where I was took 10 minutes. That was the quickest (and least out of the way) way for me to fill up. I was filling up at least once a week, often twice, and often taking longer. The number of hours I save on a regular basis more than offsets the few times I might use a supercharger. Time is money. There’s a time savings to consider also. Of course if you can’t charge at home this becomes a negative for an EV, but for most people it won’t be.
