“Elon wants to market a car with these batteries in the 15k price range.”

I think you dropped a zero or two.

Nope. Musk is about to stand the industry on its ear.

In Hawaii my electricity costs are $0.55 per kWh. EV is useless here. I’m very sure most all other rural people have a similar problem.

You give up a lot to live in Hawaii. Mostly, money. My KWH charge here in rural Texas is $.10. That's ten cents per KWH.

Only city people want EVs.

That was true 10 years ago, but now you see charging stations everywhere, and battery and car technology keeps getting better. And, out here in rural areas, we have the room it takes to put up enough solar to go completely off-grid. My solar installation will pay for itself in about 8 years, and many of us are driving around in Teslas for just the price of the car.

Yes I do, but that is due to Government interference.
I live on the edge of one of the largest cattle ranches in America.
I won’t starve. I can get wild cattle for virtually free!
I own one now she is named “violet”.

My original point is you city people gave up freedoms for no good reason. My real problem with that is you want everybody to suffer with you when we had no choice in your decisions!
Majority does NOT rule!
Survivors do.
