It might need a couple of oil changes at $50/each. (Here in Massachusetts, the electricity for a Tesla actually costs MORE per mile than the gasoline for an Accord, Altima, Camry, or similar.) Maintenance costs? The conventional car will be under warranty for the entire lease period.
Even if electricity were free, the Tesla would still be more expensive over the three-year lease. The Tesla’s higher capital cost and high cost of bodywork means that the insurance for the Tesla will be much more expensive than for the conventional gas-powered mid-size car. The Tesla web site shows the lease cost of the Tesla 3 at $525/month. How can the budget assertions of this article make any sense? A mid-sized Nissan Altima leases for $290/month (spreading the up front payment over 36 months).

To reach this conclusion, a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology calculated both the carbon dioxide emissions and full lifetime cost - including purchase price, maintenance and fuel - for nearly every new car model on the market.

New data published Thursday shows that despite the higher sticker price, electric cars may actually save drivers money in the long-run. Loosely related… what happens when MIT geniuses go shopping for cars? “Electric Cars Are Better for the Planet – and Often Your Budget, Too”: Our family decision: Change it up by replacing our leased white 2018 Honda Odyssey with a leased white 2021 Honda Odyssey. There is a small hole in the middle for air to come in and cool the engine. The grille is mostly blocked off so as to reduce drag. This would be great for a “form follows function” textbook example. Here’s the monster grille on the Sienna that I tested: The Sienna is a hybrid so it gets much better gas mileage, but it could still never save enough in fuel to overcome the extra lease cost ($150 or more per month). The other big problem with the Sienna XLE is that it seems to be far more expensive per month than the comparable Honda EX-L, at least when leased ( which I think is the most reasonable way to look at the true cost of a car). Nit: There are (plastic?) chrome buttons all around the touch screen that look cheap. So it ends up being an inconsistent interface (works when you have key in pocket doesn’t work when keys are in car). The “kick to open” sliding doors don’t work if you leave the keys in the car as we often do when we’re inside the airport fence, for example. One plus: the Sienna has a regular shifter for the transmission, instead of a confusing set of push buttons.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max kept sliding off the precise spot where it needed to be to charge and the charge indicator would then flash. At that point the phone is charging from the cable. But why is it useful? You have to plug in the phone to get Apple CarPlay to work.
There is a wireless charger in the center of the dashboard in a place that would keep the phone out of everyone’s way. Stomping on the gas pedal does not result in anything dramatic happening whereas the Odyssey can be a 1980s-grade sports car if you need it to be. The handling and acceleration are less responsive. The Sienna seems a little noisier inside at 50 mph. While it was getting worked on, I test-drove a 2021 Honda Odyssey (apparently identical to our 2018 with the exception of the graphics on one switch) and walked across the driveway to the Toyota dealer and test-drove a 2021 Toyota Sienna XLE FWD. Our 2018 Honda Odyssey recently needed an oil change. For those who need the style and prestige that only driving a minivan can yield… the Toyota Sienna is all new for 2021 and contains much exciting technology (see Electric AWD implemented by Toyota for the 2021 Sienna minivan).
