I am not a big fan of EV cars for a number of reasons. However in the interests of honesty, the daughter has a Tesla. Had it for almost six years. It’s the SUV and they take it on trips and tow a small RV sometimes. Few problems other than tires need replacement at 20-25k. Loves the various features. Son in law just bought a second one intending to sell the original but sold a Porsche Cayenne instead and now they have two Teslas. They rarely take long car trips beyond 300 miles. The more techno a gadget is the better my son-in-law likes it.

They eat tires because of the excess weight.

States are starting to wake up to this fact, as it also eats up asphalt, so roads are worn faster.

They are starting to make tags more costly to EV owners, since they don’t pay road taxes via gasoline and diesel purchases.

Insurance companies are also charging more for EVs because of the prospect of fires and the heavier weight making accidents more costly.

Once China’s EVs hit the American market, the UAW is toast.................................
