Study reveals nearly half of US EV drivers want to return to ICE cars and nearly one-third, globally. The media is baffled.

I want to go back to a regular car from the ‘60s/’70s.

“Which means that, you didn’t really answer the total question, and which also means that, you don’t have a real answer to the question.”

Since the question was singular I answered in the singular.

[TexasGator]

“That graph reminds me of the phony graph that global warminst hoaxers used to claim that the globe was warming. “

Only this graph is unedited real data. Since you don’t have the facts you try to dismiss facts.

[TexasGator]

“Without a lot more info on how that graph came about, I’ll say it was made on a rolling road in the Tesla labs under perfect conditions.”

And you would be wrong.

It was made using the database of cars produced by Tesla in real world conditions on public roads,

“An EV can cost $20,000 to $40,000 more because of the battery,”

Tesla Model 3 is $40k!

Try again.

[TexasGator]

Try 20 years, not ten.

“Study reveals nearly half of US EV drivers want to return to ICE cars”

i’m surprised the number is that low ...

around here, about three years ago, Rivan “trucks” were zipping all over the place ... and then a funny thing happened: you never saw the same ones after a few months... the only ones you saw were brand new ones with the new colors ... and now, there are fewer and fewer of even the new ones on the road ... they are just flat out disappearing and are practically extinct ... [there is now *ONE* of those ridiculous tesla “trucks” going about, however]

[catnipman]

“they can still use it to go shopping”

as long as the battery holds out ...

[catnipman]

“The same trip took them four days with lots of hassles finding charging stations, waiting at charging stations, etc. What fun!”

they’re lucky they didn’t have to be towed a few times along the way ...

[catnipman]

“Just this week I was at Walmart and I saw the EV charging station totally full with all of the idiots sitting in their cars or standing outside their cars like morons with nothing better to do.”

never even see anybody charging up at the three charging stations at our local walmart ...

[NetAddicted]

I’ve got to read later, to find out why.

Since the question was singular I answered in the singular.

Yeah, you answered the singular part of the question you conveniently preferred to answer. Meanwhile, you still didn't answer the total request. You would do well in the Biden administration, especially doing the exact type of work that Garland is doing.

[TexasGator]

“Yeah, you answered the singular part of the question you conveniently preferred to answer.”

It was the ONLY question in your post ...

Only this graph is unedited real data.

That's the same answer that the proponents of the phony hockey-stick graph gave when challenged.

[TexasGator]

“That’s the same answer that the proponents of the phony hockey-stick graph gave when challenged.”

Nope. I take it that you don’t like this data but stick with the facts instead of the ridiculous.

[Moltke]

the database of cars produced by Tesla

What database? Who compiled that database? Tesla? Where's the data? C'mon, don't be so niggardly with facts to shore up your assertions.

[TexasGator]

“What database? “

Tesla cars on the road.

“Who compiled that database?”

Realtime data collection by Tesla

[TexasGator]

“That’s the same answer that the proponents of the phony hockey-stick graph gave when challenged.”

Nope. I take it that you don’t like this data but stick with the facts instead of the ridiculous.

Tesla Model 3 is $40k!

Yeah, that's the same kind of price quote that people get when they investigate the price of any vehicle: the base price. When going for the other features/options, the price goes way up. Lexus offers a base price, which hardly anybody buys, and when the options come into play, you end up paying some $15,000-#20,000 more.

The used price for a Model 3 is between $21,000 and $23,000, and that's for a one-year old car. Not good at all for a 'premium' car. People don't want used EVs, no matter how elegant they were originally.

My granddaughters' friend's mom owns a Tesla Y, and she says she's going to trade it in for an ICE car, and she's owned the vehicle for just 1.5 years. My daughter ordered the same Tesla model about 2 years ago, and she asked for her money back after reading all about that Tesla model.

Tesla is the leader when it comes to EV sales, but, in the last 2 or so years, they've been suffering from a decline in sales. People are getting smart and staying away from ALL EV vehicles. Musk has taken a big hit on his net worth with Teslas, and they're even rethinking the construction of the Tesla battery manufacturing facilities.

Tesla will remain a business, even with the lower sales, and they need people like YOU to keep them operating.
