Which state?
Old enough to know when someone is blowing smoke up my butt.
Young enough to reply in kind.
Is it your habit to query about your questioner’s age when asked a simple, legitimate, and relevant question? This is the second time in six weeks your only response to a simple request from me has been, verbatim: How old are you?
All I was asking is for some facts and an adult response. How hard can that be? My friend’s 16 year old blonde daughter debates better than the responses I have received from you.
“Superchargers are everywhere also.”
Everywhere? Really?
In the state of Colorado there are only 650 charging stations open to the public, that’s 7th in the nation!
AND that’s for a state with 5.7 million people, 104,000 square miles, 1.8 million registered vehicles, 16,000 of which are electric ...

“Everywhere? Really?”
If you have a high powered wall charger in the garage you rarely need more than that. But if you’re traveling throughout the U.S. for greater distances you will find a supercharger along the route at opportune points. This really isn’t an issue.

ROTFLOL!
More like PT Barnum. The guy is a wealthy fraudster.
Ephemeral..? You should have said much-vaunted, or specious, or dubious.
Ephemeral means lasting a short time, tending to go away quickly.
You used the word without knowing what it means.
You're too old not to automatically dislike new tech but too young to know the meaning of the words you use.
No fool like an old fool, right?
We all have about 12 years to live according to eco-nuts. So who cares about anything?
You fill it from the gas cans that you filled before the SHTF.
I meant fleeting, short-lived, as in:
Ephemerality is the concept of things being transitory, existing only briefly. Typically the term ephemeral is used to describe objects found in nature, although it can describe a wide range of things, including human artifacts intentionally made to last for only a temporary period, in order to increase their perceived aesthetic value.
Perceived aesthetic value, like a high-end, virtue-signaling, short-lived electric car.
No fool like an old fool. Indeed.
I use that gas to power my generator.
On a local newspaper comment section, I said that nobody wants these cars and one of the fanbois went psycho on me. Told me that sales are in the top 5, this is the wave of the future, etc. I replied back that if sales are so great, why have I only seen three of them EVER? Believe me, ever since that exchange, I’ve been looking for them.
Fact is, the Tesla isn’t in the top 5 for sales. It’s not even in the top 20. I’d wager it isn’t in the top 50 but I couldn’t find a list that large. No surprise that Tesla fanbois are not only idiots, they’re liars, too.
Oh yeah. You’d be crazy to do anywhere near it.
Yes, he’s very Obama-like in that respect. There’s positive thinking and then there’s just being a nutjob. If you’re headed east looking for a sunset, all the positive thinking in the world isn’t going to help you.
He also just announced his plans for a national self-driving taxi service, with more than a million of his robot cars, valued at $200,000 each, "scheduled to be on the road by the middle of next year."
Meanwhile first quarter financials once again show a loss on slumping sales, "raising questions about the demand for the company's Model 3," according to the WSJ.
Never fear, however. "The fundamental message that consumers should be taking is that it's financially insane to buy anything but a Tesla," according to Mr. Musk himself.
By golly, how can you doubt a statement like that?!?
Last summer we visited family near Palm Springs. I witnessed a very amusing sight of one of those $100,000 Tesla’s driving in 120 degree weather with ALL THE WINDOWS down. I finally realized that they could not turn on the air conditioning and make it home. I laughed all the way to the gas station where I filled up my gas tank with renewable energy (it renews to 100% every time I fill up the tank).
Saw on TV gasoline priced at $4.59 in California.
Filling up a gas car in CA would be about $70.
Filling up an electric car would be less than $10.
