Could be true but coming from the 2 Prius’s I’ve had the Tesla’s total cost of ownership is on par with them and worlds better in safety and environmental impact.

No maintenance
Less than half the fossil fuel consumption
Able to carry more passengers and cargo
And only about $10k more than similarly speced Prius
