Meh, the maintenance costs on the PGE website are highly overrated. It also assumes your insurance costs for a Tesla are going to be the same, and they aren't. You also don't get a Tesla for 27000 net of incentives, unless you make so little money that it doesn't make sense.
That $27K is saying that you can buy it for $37K and sell it for $10K 5 years later. That's super conservative, you should be able to get at least 40%.
You can click on the "include vehicle resale" box to remove the resale factor.
The fact that PG&E is clearly advocating for electric cars should give everyone pause.
Gasoline cars can be filled by gas from any company, so there's actual competition. But an electric car mandate will expand PG&E's monopoly by billions of dollars per year. Imagine how poorly they will behave when they have a lock on both electricity and transportation.
PG&E and the CPUC need significant attention to come to serve the people. CA pays some of the highest rates in the nation but gets some of the shoddiest infrastructure in return. Check out slide 28 in [1] and read the entirety of [0].
