Your cost per mile cost is misleading. I can’t speak to your intention, but the relevant measure is Fully Loaded Cost. Someone has trademarked a True Cost Per Mile measurement.
We know peeps that have a solar roof. Is the cost per mile for the -0-?
LOL
The cost for the first trip after the roof was installed was $46,000 (net after tax credits).
You can slice it, and dice it and put rice on it.
But cost per mile comparisons need to be scrutinized very carefully.

Ok, since you say I am misleading, please present your figures.
I presented mine.

What does a solar roof have to do with what I pay? I don’t have a solar roof.

I am an engineer. I know how to make power/cost calculations, it’s part of my job.

It costs me less than 8$ to “fill” up my “tank” with electrons from my provider in Texas. it’s call OctopusEnergy.

In texas we have the right to choose our provider — you can find out rates at https://powertochoose.org

My rate is $ 0.09 cents per KWH. I pay the bill I know.

You might pay somewhere between 10 cents and 17 cents a KWH in texas, depending on which plan you choose. I chose wisely. 3 year locked in rate at 9 cents a KWH.

Even if i paid the highest rate (over 17 cents a KWH), to refill the long range model 3 (which gets 333 miles) would be < 14 dollars at my house.

What the hell does a solar roof have to do with anything?

Yes, that BB fella is comparing apples to oranges, while conviently ignoring the cost of his Level 2 charger and not acknowledgeing that many people pay more for home electricity than does he and that many, if not most, don’t have a garage or even a free-standing home. Those folks will have to pay expensive commercial charging prices or charge at work at whatever those rates are. And he did not consider the worth of a person’s time for a lengthy charge vs a quick fill-up.
