Why would you buy a Tesla when you can buy a real car for less? Electric vehicles should be banned, but Elon has too much political clout

Electric vehicles have a purpose, just like a Subaru, it identifies the owner as someone with issues and to be avoided.

You want the government to ban a product millions of people love and aren’t forcing you to buy? How fascistic of you.

Electric vehicles should be banned

DumocRats want to ban what they don't like. Mandate that which they like.

My daughter drives a small EV made by Chevrolet. It is fantastic vehicle for commutes to stores and work if not more than 20 miles away. It is 10 times more quite than ICE cars, requires no oil changes and tune ups, No stops at gas stations ever. She can charge the car in her garage.

Oh, please explain why you would ban electric, when ICE cars get into fires 120 times more commonly. Sure, those battery packs are very difficult to put out, but is one battery-pack fire more of a problem than 120 regular car fires?

No way, no how should government ban ICE vehicles, but demanding a ban on EVs? How nonsensical, how hypocritical!

“Electric vehicles should be banned, but Elon has too much political clout.”

________

There’s bumper stickers I’ve seen on Teslas around town here that state: “We bought this car before we knew Elon was crazy.”

Talk about stupid people.

Anyhow, I like that we’re developing electric vehicles, just don’t agree with forcing them onto the marketplace or essentially outlawing the combustion engines with over-regulation.
