I love Bitcoin and I really like Tesla cars. I know that is unpopular with many Bitcoiners, but these cars are amazing to drive.

Model3 long range

ModelY performance

Same! Such a superior driving experience

How much more is the repair cost for a Tesla after hitting a deer compared to a Toyota Corolla?

Fair question. The insurance for the car is for sure more expensive. Insurance would cover yhe repairs.

Drive train and battery have an 8 year 120K mile warranty.

Charging at home is roughly 2/3 the cost of what we spent on gas for a VW golf prior. Both cars are fairly new so no other repairs to talk about, but no oil changes, transmission fluid, spark plugs, etc.

Cost of ownership appears to be cheaper, tho like I said insurance is more expensive.

Yes, the repair costs of new EVs are very high. That's why the insurance costs of those have skyrocketed:

For now.

Until you are being tracked and recorded and everything. Just make sure you never ever speak or say anything that is confidential or secret. Never talk about passwords inside a tesla. They and china will record it.
