I mean it’s not like elevated rail is an unproven technology. The second busiest transit system in the country uses it just fine.

Well, transit needs better funding in general, but:

Yep- taxes are one compounding factor, then there’s import duties, spec differences, regulatory adaptations and, of course, exchange rate fluctuations. The end result is that a direct € to $ conversion is worse than useless.

i still think there should be battery packs that you can rent that hook to the vehicle with a trailer hitch for long trips. of course they would be all WOULD YOU LIKE TO PAY IN ADVANCE FOR A COMPLETE RECHARGE OR FILL IT UP YOURSELF.

I drive 2000 miles a day. I can’t stop to charge! /s

If you are driving 1000 miles per day you need to

“Any vehicle that doesn’t meet my exact specific needs is useless, I tell you, regardless of its utility to other consumers or it’s decreased environmental footprint. USELESS!”

There is not, nor will there likely be an all-electric car that could make that range. Your complaint about being unable to drive 800-1000 miles on a charge is as useful as complaining about being unable to buy a gallon of milk at O’Reilly’s Autoparts. Your expectations are completely misplaced.

Perhaps this car isn’t for you, then? Believe it or not - this is plenty of range for MANY peoples’ use 99+% of the time.

1000 miles a day? how many miles does your car have on it thats crazy

For long trips, you’ll have to purchase the option of a trailer full of electric eels. 

So don’t get one. Just because it won’t work for you doesn’t mean it won’t work for 95% of the country.

So, you plan on going on a cross country trip that often?

I say this as someone who loves driving across country and who drives from wisconsin to ohio and back once a month. I’d buy something like this and be pretty happy about it. 

Just rent a car for the cross country trip.

Show me a car that can go across the country without stopping.

Yeah. I know how you feel. I went to Home Depot and all the saws they sell can’t handle trees 60” in diameter.

He was already out of the grays.  I would have ignored it otherwise.

I appreciate the effort you went to to try and educate that person, but I’m pretty sure that’s a white troll pretending they’re black to lend some sort of extra weight to their comment.

Okay, let’s talk about this.

I wasn’t old enough to vote when we went to war with Iraq, so I guess all the costs associated with that conflict need to be deducted from the Boomers’ social security checks.
