Depends on prices. Depends on how you value your time as well.
Are Teslas heavy? Sure. Hey, how much does a BMW M5 weigh?

Ah yes, first thought when it comes to M5 is cost.
So we talk cost, and your answer is: but M5.
It weighs a lot precisely bcs. batteries. I know it is bummer for average working family in Oakland, but…
So the haters hate Teslas and the owners love 'em. Nothing new here...
The cost to operate depends on your use case, fuel costs are a biggie.
EVs as mass produced vehicles are in their infancy. I was pretty sure as an early adopter there was little overall savings even though I fueled the car with my solar panels.
The biggest hit comes from depreciation because EVs will continue to improve, with battery tech being the biggie. And more models will be introduced into the market. Of course if the EV value (and fun) proposition continues to improve, they will continue to take market share from ICE.
Even though buyers are waiting for the Model Y refresh, the current Y still sells better than almost any vehicle.
As of July 17, 2024, the top-selling cars in the world were trucks and SUVs, with the Ford F-Series leading the pack with 352,406 units sold:

This guy is the best. Enjoy.
No, this is not correct, at least not for most Americans. Most people qualify for the $7500 credit on the Model 3 LR RWD, bringing it down to $34,990 before taxes and fees. Politics aside, that is a lot of car for under $40k OTD.
I think the Ford F series are only sold in tge USA Canada and Mexico, so it isn't really a "world vehicle" as compared to the model y. Are these numbers just USA sales?
World.
