Exactly. You'll make up the $7,000 in gas, maintenance, and wear and tear.
I think I made the right decision

Get an electric car! I mean, the car payments will probably add up, but the cost of ownership (after the high upfront cost) are much lower.
Pretty sure @1972 is in construction / field work. Truck is the right choice.Get an electric car! I mean, the car payments will probably add up, but the cost of ownership (after the high upfront cost) are much lower.
When I got home, my son was watching the Model Y reveal on YouTube from a few weeks ago. Where the heck does that thing fit 7 people?

I’d like to go electric with my next one. I was on the Tesla mailing list before they released the initial roadster and for a time when the waiting list for the S. Infrastructure improves to recharging will make the shift faster. That is going to require something like a federal shift in vehicle procurement and industry endorsement to happen. Or Big Oil seeing money in that part of automotive power and doing to for themselves .... but it had to fill their coffers to happen.
In other news, I just rolled over 6,000 miles in my Subaru and I still love the hell out of it.
@Chainshot - is there anything codified in your agreements? It would not be inappropriate to do so given it would be in the best interests of the kids, for which the courts would advocate.
I think we're a generation or two of cars/batteries away from full electrification.
Until there are high speed chargers (200 kWH+) (Introducing V3 Supercharging) available at nearly every exit in the US, people likely won't switch to a pure electric for two car households.
Charging on long trips, while do-able in a Tesla, is pretty much impossible on slower L2 chargers. The common chargepoint chargers run at something awful like 6.6 kWH. And even at Tesla Superchargers, most only run at "peak" speed for the 1st half of charging then slow down. My experience has been the last 20% takes as much as the 1st 80%. So my 325 Mile range Model 3 will only practically be 260 as you won't want to wait the extra 30-40 minutes to get that last 20%, and less than that because I have a lead foot. Day to Day use, charging at home is fine if you have a High Amp circuit in your garage.
The wife and I are going through a scary time. Apparently our unborn baby may have Spina Bifida, which would require aborting. The odds as of today are only 1/89 that he has it, but two weeks ago the odds were only 1/252, so the rapid increase has my wife and I worried. She called me crying in the bathroom. Needless to say, it's very hard to focus on work today.
It's all I can think about. We have an ultra sound setup for Wed to find out what the issue is. It's going to be a long 2 days.We received a false positive with the test that indicates possible Spina Bifida with my younger son.
There are few things scarier than dealing with questions about the health of an unborn child.
I'm sorry that you and your wife are going through this.
I would like to see hybrid-TDI vehicles come to market, or more TDI and Diesel come to market in the US. Would love to be able to get a diesel Tacoma.I've been big into turbo diesels since living in Germany. I'll eventually move to electric. Maybe with this new F-150 coming out.

A hybrid-diesel is my dream engine.
The diesel Tacoma is sold overseas. It’s called a Hilux. I drove one in Germany. No better truck.
I’m waiting for news if Toyota is actually putting a diesel in the Tundra. We need a full size pick up with camper top now. We move a lot (military family) and my son’s travel hockey schedule is about to get crazy if he makes the regional travel team.
If not, we’re just getting the diesel F-150.
