Autonomy, the electric vehicle subscription company that offers the cheapest, fastest, and easiest way to get a Tesla Model 3, and soon other models and brands, is now available to residents in Monterey, Santa Cruz, and other nearby cities.
“The automotive industry is in a place of transformative change that is fueling interest and adoption of the subscription model”
“Mass EV adoption in California continues to be a top priority for state and local officials, but the cost of EVs continues to rise, making them out of reach for many consumers,” said Scott Painter, founder and CEO of Autonomy. “In order for the state to reach its goal of 1.5 million zero-emissions vehicles, there need to be more affordable, flexible, and easier ways to get behind the wheel of an EV. That’s where Autonomy comes in. With a flexible month-to-month subscription after their first three months, consumers adjust their monthly payment and start payment to fit their budget and lifestyle needs. From there, they keep the car for three months or three years and beyond; it’s all up to them.”

Gas prices continue to rise, but electricity as a fuel source is much cheaper for consumers, in comparison. As of the date of this release, the average price of a gallon of gas in Monterey is priced at just over $6.58, costing the average consumer $75 to fill up their gas tank. Over 80% of consumers charge up from the comfort of their homes, using residential electricity rates. For consumers using a Tesla Supercharger, the cost is approximately 25 cents per kWh, totaling under $25 for a full charge. Monterey and Santa Cruz counties together have more than 250 charging stations, including 15 Tesla Supercharger stations.
“The automotive industry is in a place of transformative change that is fueling interest and adoption of the subscription model,” said Georg Bauer, co-founder and president of Autonomy. “Consumers now have a digital experience that does not increase their debt burden or punish them with higher rates. With Autonomy, all qualified consumers are offered the same payment scale, and it does not show up as debt on their credit report.”
