I'm sure you have reasons for downplaying this, but I would follow this with "and told them, in your face losers", or something to that effect.

Saying "saving money and hassle" isn't for everyone is suspicious to say the least. Why wouldn't it be for everyone?

Why would I ~ever mention it when it's somehow contentious? Family member in question has a truck that costs ~50% more. Why would I care?

I never told anyone it saved money. I paid ~50% more for an electric Honda Civic. For my area/family group I was a new-tech adopter. I wasn't getting told, "You wasted money!" I was told, "That death trap will explode/catch on fire/not make it through the snow, battery will randomly empty, etc", harangued on the absolute basics on simple fallacies.
