The raw delta between the cars is $33,000 but after the "EV savings" it looks like this:

-$7,500 federal rebate
-$8,000 gas savings (4 years - this could go up with the way gas is looking)
-$4,000 for maintenance items (oil, brakes, etc.)
-$1,000 insurance savings (over 4 years vs. M3)
=$20,500 "EV Savings"

New delta between the cars is $12,500.

I need another go in a Taycan (maybe this week) to see if I think that it's worth the premium. My dealer does have an open allocation for one now so I would want to decide quickly.
In the news this week in the UK people are seeing EV’s become uninsurable or very expensive eg £5k per year.
