Hmm. 15000 miles at 12mpg. That's 1250 gallons. At nominally $3/gal, that's 3750. On gasoline cost alone, 10 years would buy you a nice EV - model 3 or Bolt, for example. Ok, I'm not being quite fair since you do have to pay for electricity. But you also would have less maintenance. You know the arguments, of course :)
A little tough to drop a ton or so into the back of a bolt and drive miles up a crappy dirt road (4WD required). I have a heavy duty 4X4 truck for a reason - and it's not to show off. Personally if I won the PowerBall, I would have a Tesla model S and largely just use the truck for times when I needed it. I would also have a larger house with enough parking space in order to have someplace to put it.
