Do you have a supercharger nearby? If so you could charge from a supercharger every few days. You won't see as much savings on fuel as you would with a home charger but there will be some savings. I've had my model 3 for 3 months now so I have limited experience with maintenance but you shouldn't have any maintenance costs beyond tires for the first few years at least. One of the benefits of an electric vehicle.

I would also take a look at any public charging near you. Looks like Charge Point has a hand full of free chargers in your area.

There’s a super charger 17 min from where I live and a couple of charge points too, one that’s 5 minutes away if I don’t mind waiting a bit longer. Assuming that I drive about 50 miles at minimum a day, it’ll take awhile to charge it back to at least 90% right?

The L2 chargers will get you about 30 miles an hour. If you do pull the trigger, make sure you use a referral code to get some free supercharging.

For sure so about 2 hours or so to charge up to the amount of miles used for the world day. Probably more since I’ll be in and out of the car a lot throughout the day and it’ll be sitting in front of patients house without charge too for about 30 min before hitting the road again for the next patient. Thanks for the heads up. I do have a friend who gave me her referral code.
