Depends on how often you use your Tesla. If you're a heavy driver, you'll save money in the long run. But if you don't use it too often, it may not be worth it

Ok, but is it worth the investment?

With the increasing demand for electric vehicles and advancing technology, it's possible that the cost of installation may go down in the future. But it's impossible to predict with certainty
