AOC Wants To Sell Her Tesla After Elon Musk Teased Her Online

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) now wants to sell her Tesla, following a Twitter dustup with tech billionaire Elon Musk last month.

The socialist darling bought a Model 3 Tesla back in 2020, which now sell for about $46,990. But after Musk teased her online, she’s singing a different tune.

“At the time, it was the only EV that could get me from New York to Washington on like one, or one-and-a-half charges,” AOC told Bloomberg News this week. “I would love to switch.”

Re: “Secondly, nobody seems to want to talk about the COST of charging one of these batteries. WHAT exactly does it cost in the current electric BILL and what would be the cost of driving as in cost/mile ????”As you can see, the effective MPG is pretty darned impressive. Right now, it doesn't quite offset the cost for a new battery ($10 to $15 thousand) every hundred thousand miles, but it comes close. When Biden drives gas prices to $10, the EV will be cheaper to drive even taking the battery replacment into account, unless your destination is more than 100 miles away - in which case it'll also cost you a lot of time and probably money for a hotel room.

An interesting thing about these EVs is that they all seem to get better mileage in the city than on the highway. You'd think that even electric cars would have considerable energy lost with each stop and start, but apparently not.

BTW, should you decide to do the math, the average cost of a kilowatt/hour in the U.S. today is 10.4¢.
