I want to get from Birmingham, Alabama to Gulf Shores to sit on the beach in one charge. No stops. Until they get more miles per charge, I’m not buying one either.
They put a generator in the trunk.
Steering wheel bolt costs extra
Very cool, now if he could get the cheap one sub 15k I would consider one as a 2nd vehicle for commuting.
Until EVs have some kind of advantage (functional or economic) over ICE powered vehicles, I’ll pass.
Maybe if they start giving them away. Maybe. Still going to keep my ICE vehicles, though.
Tesla need to go the other direction. They need to offer ICE/Hybrid cars. Those I’d consider. Are you listening Elon?
I like my s550 and 911 Turbo. I think the EV’s are amusing electric razors on wheels. I have guys in Ho work for me who love their Teslas. I have to admit from a nerd standpoint they are cool.
My Ford guy talked me in to driving the Mustang EV GT SUV a couple of days ago. The quickness of the thing was stunning. At about $70k I’m tempted but for now I’m not a believer but damn it’s fun.
Sales of EV’s have gone south,,,who wants a car that can catch fire on moments notice,,,,or at 30k miles you have to spend $30k for a new set of batteries?
Why buy a battery operated toy for the rich that has stayed the same for 13 years so far...
Just like Lotus 1-2-3 seemed a sure bet to dominate spreadsheet software ... forever, until Microsoft rolled them with Excel ... no guarantee that Tesla stays the dominator in EVs.
They are cool toys, if you need a niche commuter vehicle have fun...
If you actually need a general purpose car that you can not only go to and from the corner store, but go across country without waisting hours every couple hundred miles to refuel, electric ain’t gonna cut it.
However, if all you need is a limited range commuter vehicle, have at it.
