Although Tesla's electric SUV is undeniably beautiful and loaded with technology, at $66,000,

you should seriously consider your options before making the purchase.

Here are three explanations:

1. Electric vehicles necessitate specialised maintenance, making it difficult to forecast maintenance costs.

[{"selector":"#anim-0760a390-05fe-4f65-8ba3-10e322c5f7e9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.251873761911693%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a5f63000-80c6-4ac9-9f6b-196f92b24fb9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.10727%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f14472c7-d777-4511-b650-88db137a8cc6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-63e9a8b1-33bd-45d7-b7cd-1c6a87dfd802","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

2. Range Anxiety: In some remote areas, there may be power outages and long wait times for recharging.

[{"selector":"#anim-0876e800-e141-459f-8d46-61d7503db8d2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-59e9622b-bd78-44ed-9681-45dda528d8df","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.10727%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4a139904-255a-4fd1-b242-8e305dac89e5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d4be4661-e9ce-49f6-964d-321855d19410","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

3. Insurance Premiums - Because of the risks associated with electric components and the higher cost of repairs, electric vehicles frequently have significantly higher insurance premiums.

[{"selector":"#anim-1986f79e-4ca9-450c-9531-d37a6a16cc6a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-33.833333235234626%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-13ea824e-e6c3-4c75-be53-52d647a1469d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.10727%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-94fe2d67-23f3-47b0-bb83-38535f8af6b8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-005844b0-7f14-4ea1-a255-1c2e0b1c9b30","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

So, before purchasing a Tesla SUV, consider both the benefits and drawbacks!
