Tesla Model Y vs RAV4 Hybrid: Lowest Cost of Ownership in 5 Years?

Video Description

Check out the SPAN Smart Electrical Panel: https://bit.ly/cleanerwattspan ***This Video includes a PAID sponsorship from SPAN*** QUICK CORRECTION: at around 6:30, the slide that shows insurance cost estimates has the models switched. The numbers that I speak in the video are correct, but the slide should show ~$102 per month for the Model Y, and ~$79 per month for the RAV4. The true cost of owning a vehicle goes way beyond just the initial purchase price, and you have to consider a host of other costs to get the real picture. For example, in our comparison today, the Model Y purchase price is quite a bit higher than the RAV4 hybrid, but with all things considered and the cost saving associated with electric vehicles, the Model Y true cost of ownership may actually surprise you. But are the cost savings enough to make up the initial cost difference? Support Cleanerwatt: 1. Join the Patreon Community: https://www.patreon.com/cleanerwatt 2.
