The under 40 crowd lusts after Tesla cars. They are expensive, and have less utility than a comparable internal combustion powered car. But, they have gobs of tech, and are at the top of the cool factor for the climate change indoctrinated crowd.
My wag is that Tesla will prosper short term. Long term? Who knows?
You would think that they would build a simpler car with LESS technology. The way I look at it is there is less to go wrong.
Tesla is the Apple of the automotive industry.
“They are expensive, and have less utility than a comparable internal combustion powered car.
Nice to have a four-door sedan that blows the doors off your next-door neighbors vette.
But really they are only what, 20% more expensive than gasoline cars? Not really bad considering cost savings?
One thing occurred to me last night though. If you run out of gas 5 miles from a gas station you could conceivably walk 5 miles and buy a Gerry can. What do you do if your Telsa stops?
