Hydrogen is the future.
Plug in a Tesla, tear down a dam.
What could possibly go wrong?
Ev’s definitely hit the wall of consumer resistance.
But I think the new solid state batteries could change that, if they live up to their promise.
Besides, I want to see Elon succeed.

Most the Starbuck wives have their Teslas.
Shaboom!
Remember the Hindenburg!!
what about electric bikes?...anybody have any insight on them...
Pols need to allow Capitalism to control transition to other forms of transportation not mandates from Biden and Greta.
I’ll be buying a team of mules or oxen before I’ll be buying a new car, thanks to the government meddling in design and costs for the sake of “safety and the environment,” and inflation. Prices are obscene.
I guess the good side is I will have plenty of manure to spread around the Capitol.
I think Tesla’s declining sales are the reason that Elon Musk is currently pretending to be Republican.
He’s a lifelong government welfare recipient whose entire company was built with Uncle Sam’s cash and when that dried up a bit, he sold out to the Chicoms.
A couple of months ago I needed to buy a new car. Pedo Joe told me I need to buy an EV so I bought an ICE car with 200 horsepower more than I could ever possibly need.
In the UK it’s nonexistent, horrible and very expensive charging stations that’s killing their EV Paradise , Oh the charging stations you find have no overhead cover so you get wet handling electricity
Fantasy. Deep State is going to cram EVs down our throats whether we want them or not. It’s a big part of the overall strategy to restrict our movement and ultimately remove a few billion people from the planet.
The back door plan to eliminate private transportation and force a move to public transportation where movement can be tracked, controlled, and restricted rolls forward without the plebs being any the wiser. Soon they will be forced onto buses and trains and the next part of the plan implementing a social credit score and tying it to the privilege of travel and where you must present your environmental score as well justifying your use of carbon emissions before using public transportation.
If electric cars are the future why did not the Citicar of 1975 take off like a rocket? I saw plenty of them on car lots on Memorial Street in Tulsa OK back in 1975. None ever seen on the street.
EVs are at best a niche market. If you live in an urban area with abundant places to recharge and use your EV for daily commuting and running errands it could work well. However even in this limited use there are issues. Ideally you need a Level 2 home charger which is expensive to install ($3,000+ in this area) and may require an upgrade of your electrical service. If you live in an area where winters can have below zero temperatures for extended periods of time you could find your EV battery frozen or be stuck in freezing temperatures waiting for hours at a charging station as was demonstrated this past winter in the Chicago area.
Making a road trip in an EV requires meticulous planning for recharging stops. Spontaneous side trips or travel in remote areas might not be possible. A family of four traveling with luggage, using the AC and recharging multiple electronic devices might drastically limit the practical range and require more frequent recharging stops. Recharge times vary greatly depending on the type of charger and if you need to wait in line. Recharging stations may not have convenient amenities, such as restrooms or food like you would find at most gas stations.
Hybrid vehicle might be a better choice offering better gas mileage and none of the recharging hassles
