Priceless
Shows that Tesla is a lot like Apple. They can both get away with charging 20% more because of the cool factor.
check out “zombie 222”...
this is an electric car that is kinda acceptable to me...
Maybe I’m missing something here, but I consider this to be a pretty worthless metric. Imagine doing the same thing with gasoline powered cars. So a $20,000 econo box with a 13 gallon tank gets 300 miles per tank. Meanwhile $100,000 SUV with a 25 gallon tank gets 300 mi per tank. All the metric tells us is the one car is more expensive than the other. Duh.
Tax payers getting ripped off on Electric Cars , why do they have to pay
Maybe that’s why I own neither. 😁
“US Electric Car Sales in 2020
Overall, as reported by Veloz, there were 322,422 electric car sales in 2020.” https://www.chargedfuture.com/us-electric-car-sales-in-2020/#:~:text=US%20Electric%20Car%20Sales%20in%202020%20Overall%2C%20as,over%20year.%20US%20Electric%20Car%20Sales%20in%202020
Let’s assume half of those got the $7500 federal tax credit.
161211 X $7500 = $1,209,082,500 went to subsidize these “miles” based on purchase price. No calculation on the costs of charging equipment or battery replacement added.
I agree, a worthless metric.
It gives some people something to saddle on.

Because they are dirty rotten low down white supremacists!
“No calculation on the costs of charging equipment or battery replacement added.”
Looked at sticker on car at Ford dealer last week.
No surcharge for gas station equipment or engine overhauls.
Strange thing about technology why don’t the manufacture a electric car that produces it’s own electricity like an alternator off the drive shaft and a solar panel roof and a few other items.
I still wouldn’t buy on ill stay with my pre 1971 cars and trucks fun cheap low maintenance and hold value.

People don't pay to install gas stations in their home garages. Tesla charges over $20,000 for an out-of-warranty battery replacement. No engine overhaul is in that ballpark.
Fascinating! Built for the 1/4 or 1/8 mile strip! A bat outta hell!!
