I don't think savings should be the main driver to get a Tesla. A lot of things can influence if you save money or not compared to an ICE car. In my case...yes. Insurance costs vary by a ton of factors. Where I live insurance is paid annually and mine is $1500 for a full cover, which is like $125 a month. More than your average ICE car, that pays about $800 yearly. However I've saved money in every other aspect. I have solar so I charge for free. And the only maintenance I've paid were $15 to a local tire shop to rotate my tires and 2 gallons of wiper fluid.
The tire and wheel protection already paid for itself. I got a bolt in my tire and they placed a loaner on my vehicle within the hour I call them. Set up a service appointment and had to pay a $25 deductible. Worth it for me.
the two tires people keep circling back to are Michelin Defender 2 (for max longevity + quiet ride) and Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive (for folks who want legit wet/snow grip without going full winter tire). Both feel noticeably better than the OEM rubber Mazda ships these with less thump over expansion joints and far more planted in rain.
I took a mini ski vacation and on my way home last night it was snowing pretty hard. I picked up a '25 GLE 450e in June so this was my first real snow test with it. Since its a lease I'm not going to invest in winter tires and was curious how the 21" staggered Pirelli Scorpions Zero's would do. For an all-season tire it did all I wanted. I wasn't doing 70 but 40-50 mph was very comfortable. Visibility was bad for all of the 170mi ride home limiting what I was willing to do. The other plus I averaged 37mpg.
I have a 24 ecoboost awd fx4. I was getting about 28 with the stock tires. I upgraded to 235 65 17 all Terrain tires and it has dropped to 25. I don't mind the trade off as these tires are worlds better than those stock Pirelli Scorpions.
I have 24k miles on my LE R1T and it’s predominantly a family hauler, pavement princess, whatever other term you want to use to say 23.5k of those miles have been on pavement. When I first got the truck it was sooooo quiet. But I recently drove my wife’s GLE63s (not a quiet car) and I was floored by how quiet the cabin was!! The noise of these Pirelli Scorpions slowly crept up on me. I didn’t appreciate how bad it had become until I spent time in a different car. It took me almost 4yrs and 24k miles to get to the point of complaint, so I’m not opposed to buying the same thing again.
My AWD Volvo sedan came with Pirelli All Season tires. Even have the official VO on the sidewall : made just for Volvo.
Ce nu îmi place e ca Pirelli a început sa crape in prostie, am văzut prea multa lume ca se plânge lucru pe care il iau in considerare.
Got a new wheel set with Pirelli P Zeros for the summer. They didn't make it to September Before the tread was gone.
I have had two flats and one additional tire that developed a sidewall bulge that had to be replaced, all over about 14 months, less than 20,000 miles. Its seems the slightest bump on it makes them go flat or damages them in some way. Not only that the tread has wore down ridiculously fast and the last original tire seems like it already has dry rot around the edges.
