The Electric Advantage

Completely false. Tesla vehicles can go through any car wash just like gas cars. They're sealed and waterproof—you can even drive through deep water. Use Car Wash Mode for best results. Wash away!

Tesla's Supercharger network has 73,000+ connectors globally and is growing daily. Plus you charge at home overnight—something you can't do with gas. Most drivers never need public charging.

Modern Teslas travel over 300 miles per charge (up to 321 miles EPA for Model 3)—more than most people drive in a week. For road trips, Superchargers add ~200 miles in just 15 minutes.

The opposite is true. Gas cars catch fire 20-60x more often than Tesla vehicles according to NTSB data. No fuel tank, no hot engine, no exhaust system. EVs are statistically much safer.

Tesla batteries retain around 88% capacity on average after 200,000 miles. Many outlast the car itself. They're warrantied for 8 years with 100,000-150,000 miles (model dependent).

Over its lifetime, a Tesla emits far less CO₂ than a gas car—even including battery production. The environmental benefit only grows as grids get cleaner.

Instant torque, one-pedal driving, and silent acceleration make every trip engaging and fun. Many owners say they're the most enjoyable cars they've ever driven.

Teslas are sealed tighter than most smartphones. You can safely drive, charge, or wash your car in the rain. Use Car Wash Mode to disable wipers and locks. You could even park in a thunderstorm—the lightning would be more worried about you.

Teslas perform great in snow—instant torque means perfect traction. Cabin heating is electric and instant, and preconditioning keeps the battery warm before you step outside. Range may decrease 10-30% in extreme cold, but features mitigate this.

Not even close. While Tesla offers premium models, many are far more affordable than people assume. When you factor in fuel savings, lower maintenance, and available incentives, the total cost of ownership can be comparable to—or less than—a similarly equipped gas car.
