Fossil fuel powered cars are NOT cheaper. That is a false economy. The cost to the average consumer from unabated climate change is non-incalculable, and it greatly exceeds the price difference of a few thousand dollars at a dealership between comparable ICE and EV cars. 

Would you say the acceleration was ... unintended?

There is a possible argument that the type of employees a start-up like Tesla has aren’t the right people to then shepherd the company into maturity. That is, the skill-set of the “go fast, break things” crowd is great for building a company from scrach up to what Tesla is today, but their skills aren’t in such demand…

Damn. I’m sure you’ll land on your feet though. And maybe you’ll have a more stable boss! CA or TX or NV?

It boggles my mind that people spend $200k on an RV bus like that instead of, you know, just renting a cabin somewhere and driving to it. $200k goes a long way on Air BnBs, and I guarantee they are more comfortable!

EVs are crazy efficient in the city. My aunt has a Bolt that would get 310+ miles on a full charge at her city driving rate, even though its rated for about 250.

Range =/ efficiency. 281 miles using about 105 of the 107 kWh battery is only 2.6 miles per kilowatt-hour. Most EVs are thein the 3.0-4.0 range. 

The v4 Superchargers are a big deal because they can natively delivery voltages higher than 400v. Right now, if you have an 800v architecture EV, like a Hyundai Ioniq, your speeds at a supercharger (with a converter) are limited to about 100 kW, because the car uses its own motors to step the voltage up from 400 to…

It’s just a car Thomas. 

That’s a pretty screaming deal. So low-cost EVs do exist!

A true hero. When I grow I want to be like you!

Yes, a switch to EVs would greatly benefit society; improved air quality, lower GHG emissions, etc. So it makes sense to use tax dollars to spur that transition and make it faster than it would otherwise happen. It’s a win-win. 

Really good looking cars in person. Excellent taste. 

The only EV that Toyota makes is easily the worst EV on the market; slow, slow charging, limited range, expensive, no real tech to speak of.

Crazy to because I live in one of the most expensive places in the country (Santa Monica) and like . . . people aren’t like that with cars here. Doctors and lawyers drive Chevy Bolts “because it was cheat and has good AC.”

I’m a person and I want (and have) an EV. 

If you drive around 60 miles a day, a regular 120v outlet will be just fine for charging your car overnight. 

The Ioniq 5 is basically that exact car, with the current rebates. 

I just did a one-pay lease for a new Ioniq 5 SEL RWD. All in, with taxes etc, it worked out to like $340/mo.

This country was also built on poor white labor, too. Although, to be fair, when a lot of Italians and Greeks and Poles and Jews came here, they weren’t really seen as “white” either, so you’re probably right.
