Well no (*(*.

[rktman]

Suitable for a few things but...........

[one guy in new jersey]

there may be “growing pains”

companies “need some time to work out the bugs,”

Roll out the euphemisms for “FAIL”!!!!

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

The thick skulls can’t cope with the fact that batteries are the problem, not the cars.

[CatOwner]

Well, tough $hit, America! You either voted for this nonsense, or you didn’t push back forcibly enough.

[POWG]

And Consumer Reports is partially funded by the Ford Foundation. Hmmmmmm.

[Seruzawa]

In other news water is wet.

[linMcHlp]

“End fossil fuels” + “Zero emissions” =

End of lubricants at affordable prices.

End of obtainable freight transportation by land, sea, air.

End of air travel.

End of satellite communications, rockets, missiles, space travel. (But no end to NASA and its future of “employing” the woke.)

Return to “the age of sail.” And, rope walks.

Return to small crop spaces “merely for survival.”

You run out of charge on a desert highway. No good samaritan can stop and give you an electric juicing. But if you had a fuel tank that is another matter to get you on your way

I have been very happy with my EV. The service and warranty have been great. After it burned down my house, they came out and gave us a new one with a roof top tent we could live in.

Awesome stuff right there.

Oh, and when we are done with it, we plan on using it as a toaster.

[NWFree]

Don’t worry I’m sure TeslaHumper will tell us everything is fine nothing to see move along and charge your batteries it’s all wonderful

[Vaduz]

EVs = A Fools Bling

[existentially_kuffer]

Even basic science showed self evident problems. Bought on hype & sold on a crisis.

[SkyDancer]

Well who’da thought?

[KarlInOhio]

Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts and don’t have to deal with a hundred or more little explosions per second. The electric cars should be more reliable.

[Political Junkie Too]

I think the problem with EVs is that they are good as commuter cars or local around-town chores and shopping cars.

Where they fail is as a family vacation car where you pack two adults and two children and all their luggage into the car, and expect it to travel 1,000 miles round trip without any issues.

[Organic Panic]

My 25 year old SUV is about to pass 250,000 and aside from rattles and a leaky injector it is still running well. Will there be 25 year old EVs??? Ever???

[knarf]

How is CR funded ?

[ExGeeEye]

If Tesla would replace the motor / battery setup for a decent V-6 and 20 gallon tank, they’d have a pretty good car.

[catnipman]

“Consumers reported electric drive motors, charging and EV batteries had the most common issues”

isn’t that pretty much the entire drive train?

[PIF]

Electric vehicles are significantly less reliable
