The Toy is before any options, so it won’t take much to go over the Tesla’s price. Then again, you can add some options to the Tesla, too.
So bottom line, they’re very close in price.
On the other hand, as soon as you need some parts to fix a fender bender, the Toy will probably be back in the road before Tesla can supply the necessary parts. That turns into a significant savings in rental car costs should you ever have that need.
