The more people who buy EVs the less popular they seem to be. Sounds like a product that doesn’t come close to living up to the hype.

Kelly Blue Book website quote:
“Tesla owners are a famously loyal group. Remove them from the equation, though, and just 52.1% of electric vehicle (EV) owners buy an EV next time they go car shopping.”

Its a way over priced automobile that does not come close to the dependability of what we are currently using and the reason given for wanting to switch is a liberal lie.

If everyone owned an EV then that would remove the only reason most people buy an EV: exclusivity.

It would be the same if everyone wore a Rolex.

The people buying those early EVs just weren’t paying attention, I guess. Now they may pay for their mistake. If folks had really been paying attention, it probably wouldn’t have gone this far. Even then, the auto execs weren’t paying attention either, I guess. If nothing else, they should have known that so many average drivers couldn’t afford one of these overpriced mistakes. I sure wish Toyota would go back & build the ‘89 Camry & American manufacturers would follow suit with something similar & priced accordingly.
