I think eventually you’ll see portable generators that will be sold to people with all-electric cars. They’ll pull over somewhere and crank up the gyrator so they can make it the last mile to wherever they’re going. Electric cars will be next to valueless. To prevent this is probably one reason some states are banning gas generators.

Incidentally, I follow a couple of used car dealers on YouTube and they say the auction prices of Teslaas have dropped well below where they were for an equivalent vehicle. They’re also below the equivalent gas car. The bloom is off the rose.

They GONE 6 months from now, due to other mandates about to take hold.

Perhaps some people can home-build them, but that’s about it.

There never was a rose. But if I marketing major, Tesla’s would be a great Case Study on how a snazzy, but inferior product (which EVs are, by definition), can fly off the shelves - fill the niche of people who need them for social reason (1% to 2% of the country) and then fall-flat as the rest of the country assess them in the cold, brutal, way they assess most things they shop for.

So, you didn't notice last week that Joe said he wanted to ban portable generators?
