“You and your company are lying cowards.”

Congratulations! Your logical fallacy is “ad hominem”.

“You attacked your opponent's character or personal traits in an attempt to undermine their argument.

Ad hominem attacks can take the form of overtly attacking somebody, or more subtly casting doubt on their character or personal attributes as a way to discredit their argument. The result of an ad hom attack can be to undermine someone’s case without actually having to engage with it.”

By the way, Tesla is not “my company” nor am I getting paid to post this. I just happen to be disappointed by all the baloney that is spread about electric cars.

No, you are the one spreading baloney like your claim that electricity costs are 1/3 of gasoline. The 60kWh Tesla has a practical warm weather range of about 180 miles and 150 in cold weather. The battery requires 75kWh to recharge or about $10.50 or about 3.5 gallons of gas. A gas car with mileage in the low 40's to about 50 would cost the same to drive.

Of course such a practical gas car would not have the overkill acceleration of the Tesla, but I don't think taxpayer dollars should be used to fund that kind of entertainment.

What “baloney” is being spread about electric cars?
