Tesla Y SR RWD extreme difference

Intelligence test for car buyers: The difference between the Tesla Y SR and equally expensive cars with combustion engines can only be described as grotesque.






When the repair costs explode, it's time for another car: €3,200 quote from a garage friend. It was a Tesla Y with rear-wheel drive and a lithium iron phosphate battery.

  Comparison with my previous cars


My 1988 Renault Espace for 325,000 ATS is 56,000 € corrected for inflation. No air conditioning, it was too expensive for me. Mostly 11 liters of gasoline, Renault did not manage to register the diesel in Austria at that time. Because of a very oncoming car, this was replaced in 1993 by a used Renault Espace diesel: 6.3 liters of diesel was already very economical against the petrol engine, I also drove far more economically. The Citroen Jumper followed, but that was a completely different class of vehicle.

In 2004, we moved on to the next minivan: the Seat Alhambra for €30,500, or €52,000 adjusted for inflation. 500 kg more weight vs. a more efficient engine resulted in 6.2 liters of diesel per 100 km. Air conditioning for the first time, ABS and EPS for the first time. The parking heater was repaired once under warranty and abandoned after the second defect.

Then in 2014 there was the flood in the underground parking garage and a used Dacia Lodgy followed: Purchased with 45,000 km from a cab operator for €10,500, now almost 253,000 km on it. It was sensationally economical with 4.35 liters of diesel. New, it would have cost €16,000, adjusted for inflation €22,000. A hands-free system for the first time, but only very limited use due to the high volume in the interior.

Dacia no longer has a diesel and the Lodgy has been replaced by the Jogger. Jogger is available with petrol engine or hybrid. With the consumption figures for the hybrid, I would probably have come up with 5.3 liters. 5.3 liters times €1.60 is €8.46 per 100 km. Over 200,000 km, that's €16,920 for the fuel.

  Energy as a decisive cost factor


This brings us to a decisive cost factor: the energy costs of a car. The €16,920 for gasoline for an economical driven Dacia Jogger Hybrid only applies if gasoline only increases in price with inflation. Should there be an oil crisis, the cost of gasoline would explode.

As long as there is no decisive amount of batteries in relation to photovoltaics and wind power, extremely low and negative prices will occur on the spot market. This is not only the case in Germany and Austria, but throughout Europe. See EU electricity prices. It says on Saturday, July 13 for Romania: Average €0.163 High €0.624 Low €0.005. Of course, you won't be charging your car for €0.624/kWh, but for €0.005/kWh. Why am I mentioning Romania? Because I've been studying the spot market prices across Europe every day for the last two weeks and all the former Eastern bloc countries have enormous price peaks.

Let's assume 15 cents per kWh when charging at home and 40 cents per kWh on the road at a ratio of 80% to 20%, giving an average of 20 cents/kWh. At 15 kWh/100 km, that's €6,000 in energy costs for 200,000 km. In the case of electric company cars, 100% of the energy costs are eligible for VAT tax deduction, so €6,000 has now become just €5,000.



Electricity consumption in the first week of July for household and Tesla Y: 78.95 kWh of electricity for 51 cents. Grid fees and charges are added to this.

  Taxes as a decisive cost factor


In Austria, the luxury tangent has not been increased since 2005. Luxury tangent means €40,000 divided by acquisition costs equals tax deductibility. Above €80,000, a car in Austria is only a private pleasure. Since the acquisition costs also include registration and the first set of winter tires, there are no final data for my Tesla yet. Will be about 90%.

In Austria, only certain cars are eligible for VAT tax deduction: Trucks, buses with at least 7 seats where there is still room for a 0.5 m cuboid behind the last row of seats and electric cars. My two Renault Espace cars were eligible for input tax deduction, as was my Seat Alhambra. The Dacia Lodgy and Jogger, on the other hand, did not make it onto the list. All electric cars in Austria are eligible for VAT tax deduction.

  The gap is closing


Dacia Jogger vs. Tesla Y SR RWD, at the beginning it looked as if the Tesla was twice as expensive. But with the cost factors of energy and taxes, it suddenly looks completely different. 43,790 minus 90% VAT is €37,222. Now you could do a lot of math with the individual driving style and tax situation, but it's a neck-and-neck race in terms of price.

  Intelligence test for car buyers


In 2014, I described the Dacia Lodgy as an intelligence test for car buyers: half the price and significantly more economical than comparable minivans. Today, this intelligence test is the Tesla Y: the difference to equally expensive cars with combustion engines can only be described as grotesque.

  Lecture on September 18 in Weiz


Announced in the Weiz city newspaper on page 47: My lecture on September 18 from 19:00 at the Kunsthaus Weiz. I am preparing some other lectures for the fall.



  The net-zero emissions mentality


Net zero emissions means reducing greenhouse gas emissions to a level that nature can absorb. For the rich, this means maintain poverty, cause poverty, so that enough emission rights remain for the rich.

  The planetary renovation mentality


Planetary renovation back to 350 ppm CO2 means about 47,000 TWh of electricity to filter 1 ppm CO2 from the atmosphere and recycle it into carbon and oxygen. Who can afford that? Only a rich humanity, 10 billion people in prosperity can do it.

  If in doubt, check all pages carefully


It is a decision between 3 directions:
  • Eternal fossils. Believe in eternal oil and that humans can never not have an impact on the climate.
  • Net zero emissions and everything will be fine again. Saving Restricting Renouncing as the most important means of achieving the target.
  • Planetary renovation back to 350 ppm CO2. Worldwide wealth as a necessity to achieve the goal.
If in doubt, check all the arguments of all parties. What if this direction prevails and is able to realize its ideas?

  GEMINI next Generation AG will prove the contrary


It's not about whether the shares will be worth 10 times or 100 times more in 20 years' time or whether they will only be worth a few cents. It's about the future of us all. Will there be a big showdown between eco-fascism and yesterday's fossils, or will it be possible to overcome the deep divisions in society and inspire supporters of both sides to work towards a great new goal?

Global prosperity and planetary restoration instead of saving, restricting, renouncing and climate catastrophe or peak oil and a little more climate catastrophe. Both sides must be convinced that there is no solution that is even remotely viable.

On the one hand, it must be shown that net-zero emissions are a completely inadequate target and that the goal must instead be a planetary clean-up back to 350 ppm CO2. The other side must be shown that solar power enables a higher standard of living than fossil energy.

It's about survival! The social situation in 2024 compared to 2004. Extrapolating that to 2044 makes for a horror world! If we are successful and your shares are worth 100 times more, this is just an addition to all the other achievements.

One new shareholder said, “Me with my very modest investment”, but €4,000 times €1,000 is also €4 million for all investments up to the opening of the settlement in Unken as a starting point for global expansion.

There is a reward program for recommending the share to others. Two of the new shareholders have become shareholders through this reward program.

Here are the details.

  GEMINI shares: time to buy


My studies on off-grid fast-charging settlements have already resulted in initial contact and a video conference with the CEO of a major African company. The most important statements: “There are about 2 million homes missing” and “Solar-powered cement factories are a fascinating new idea”.

There are several chances of an event that could lead to a jump in the share price. At today's share price, € 2 million would be 10,000 packages at € 200 and 300,000 shares for the buyer. However, if these € 2 million are only worth 20% of the AG, this would logically result in a very significant jump in the share price.
