I still take this over a Pontiac Aztec or a Toyota Matrix any day of the week.

They are not only that, but they will defend the company that treats them poorly and will fight for any change. ANY change.

I think one of the biggest barriers is ignorance and stubbornness.

There is no point to presenting reasonable arguments to Tortilla man. He’ll come up with something even stupider in his next comment.

Have you ever heard about anybody replacing the batteries on an EV when they are dead? It is not really a thing.

Well, that just stupid.

A higher price-tag does not make it better. More exclusive by the virtue of the price, yes, but not better. Certainly not +4 times better.

Looks like driving a Pickup truck was a requirement. The attire appears to be redneck casual.

It does have a real name beyond the China Virus.

But you can be sure we will have another pussy-hat march the day AFTER.

As one of comments here states, 92% of the time people charge overnight home. Another % at work. So in reality, the "waiting" for it to charge is overblown.

Don't be so sure. Consider that gasoline is about $8/gallon, plus the cost of oil changes, and the fact that in some cities you have a congestion charge. Then the $14,000 Fiesta may not be the most cost-effective option.

The Ferrari 308 has a light in the bottom of the handbrake lever shining all the center console controls. It is so bright, that I usually put a rag on top of it at night.

Get out of here with such a sensible and fun vehicle.

I think FCA (or whatever it is called today) may be interested on said candidate. Please send resume.

That is true. There are some noise you never thought existed, till you drive an EV.

Great idea. I wish you the best.

In reality probably no. But if message boards are an indication, there are millions and millions of people who claim to drive 301 miles each day. Stating that EVs are a waste of time and that they will never buy one.

I don’t think academics was one of their priorities.

Also you have consider that Tech companies have huge profit margins >40% that affords them to pay big salaries, and to take chances. Auto manufacturers have very narrow margins.
