Our crossover EV (not Tesla LOL) works well for my wife and me, as does our old ICE pickup. But before buying an EV I suggest doing your homework to make sure an EV is good for your situation.

I wouldn't get one unless you're about to spend money to replace a car anyway, you need two cars anyway (i.e. married, having both an EV car and an ICE pickup gives my wife and me the best of both worlds to choose from each day), don't live in a climate that's bitterly cold for months, have dependable power, don't live in a state with tons of people moving in (creating more demand for power), and don't live in a state where the regulators are making your power utility make power with undependable "green" energy. My wife and I check off all those boxes and that's why an EV works for us. Members of my extended family who live elseewhere are saying they want one and I almost always suggest to them that they don't.

I think Toyota is going hybrid due to the lack of electrification to stabilize charging.

I like them and Tesla. Looking for a good entry point for Tesla, maybe 145? Any thoughts.

I have a lot of military equities:
Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon...looking to diversify and I think Tesla is a good long term investment.
