Yup, tankless are promoted for [energy] savings that really never materialize due to the extra cost compared to a ‘tanked’ gas heater. With unlimited supply, saving are literally down the drain.

Hybrid/heat pump heater makes a lot of sense if natural gas isn’t available. Otherwise it’s more of making a point.

When green electricity is available, I think hybrid electric tanks win. ?

Environment yes - but never on pure cost.
