The $20,000 price delta between a Civic and lowest-priced Model 3 pays for 180,000 miles of gasoline, and that is not including the cost of electricity to charge the EV. Modern ICE cars require little maintenance up to 100,000+ miles. The cost of the battery is the problem. The math just doesn't work.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
