Yeah that document is up there with Gartner research in terms of integrity.

Ignoring the fact they used "predicted five-year residual values" for their real word data, and the fact they compare a telsa model 3 to an BMW/Audi/Lexus rather than a Camry or something in the same actual class, the operational costs are nowhere near "half" in their own table, eg.

A telsa model 3 over "lifetime" is $49,800 whereas a Lexus is $63,200 - significantly less than $99,600.

Oh and thats skipping the insurance and charger costs too.

Its a biased piece of toilet paper.
