This is the Ramsey Call of the Day, part of the Ramsey Network.

Today's question comes from Kyle in Tampa.

With gas being so expensive right now, I'm looking into selling my Jeep and getting a Tesla.

My wife and I are going way over budget on gas and it seems

like a good time to get an electric vehicle, even with the car market the way it is. She thinks

it's a bad idea to finance a car, but I think it'll save us money in the long run. Who

wins the argument? Oh, Dave loves this question. I can see fumes coming out of your head right now for a thousand reasons.

There's just so many things wrong about his decision.

A, it's a Tesla.

B, their payments.

Dave, I got a comment.

C, you thought it was going to be cheaper because you have to pay the light bill, Bubba, to plug in your little car.

This is true.

I got a comment yesterday in Instagram, a guy said, I don't trust a man

who drives an electric vehicle.

Whoa. Yeah. That's new for me.

Now, I understand respect, but trust. I'm untrustworthy

because my car doesn't have an engine like yours, Dave.

But that's besides the point.

Wow. Just venting.

I mean, you and Rachel both, both of you

are driving these batteries now. I mean, it and Rachel both, both of you are driving these batteries now.
