”There’s A Tesla Owner Born Every Minute”.

How much of a tax rebate do they give to drive a diesel?

Yes, there is a large price premium for an EV, but it drops every day.
Recall the late Sergio Marchionne asking you NOT to buy the car, he was losing $14k on each one sold.

I enjoy watching the progress of the market and EVs.

For me, it is about comfort and TCO,.
I don’t care if Fred Flintstone is in the back seat making it go.

I wouldn't bet against EVs someday...maybe 20 years from now...having a 400+ mile (highway) range and be rechargeable in 15 minutes at tens of thousands of places.

But one of the problems I see...even if this happens...is that the same Enviroweenies who are demanding EVs now are also demanding that coal fired,and nuclear,power plants be shut down. So if EVs rise to 50% of passenger cars from their current 1% it's not hard to see a huge,huge problem.

For *everyone*!
