I wanted to lease a Model 3 before Thanksgiving, with 5K down; the monthly payment is $450 with taxes, plus Tesla quoted me $300 for the insurance. So it is $750 a month. Plus, I don’t qualify for the federal tax credit because of my income. I went ahead and bought a 2011 Ford Ranger for $10k.

totally agree with you, I don’t tow, don’t do off-road, I just need to carry my surf stuff to the beach. Few days ago got ranger 2011 and can not be happier. Perfect size for me. aevent 150 is too big. Ford need to make an electric Ranger, simple, small and cheap.
