[...]Lately also wondering if there's a business case to get a used EV on a cheap monthly finance, like an Hyundai Ioniq 6 and pay FPL's $38 a month free charger install, free overnight charging and spare the E90 the mileage. I would have to pay extra on insurance for it too of course, but the monthly savings in fuel would be significant by my quick math.

Your math is not wrong.
My rough calculations show annual savings of $3.2-3.6K (depending on specific electricity and gas price points). That ~$300/month is enough to cover the cost of leasing a new Model 3 RWD, although you will chew through mileage limits in a hurry. So consider buying used. You can grab a mint 2-3 year old used Model 3 RWD/AWD for ~$25K these days, including directly from Tesla.
Model 3's make for excellent commuter vehicles. FSD isn't perfect, but better than the alternatives. Even with out FSD, basic AP (auto-pilot) does make things much easier in stop-and-go traffic.
You will absolutely want to get an L2 charger for your home/work place, as that's the only way to get access to reasonable electricity rates.
Avoid Tesla (and other commercial) SuperChargers, as those are priced roughly to parity with gas prices per mile at ~$0.45+0.65/KWh, or roughly 4x what you would pay for electricity at home.
HTH,
