I’m perfectly setup for having an EV. I don’t do that many long trips anymore and I have a garage with a TON of available power from a HVAC system upgrade that left me with an unused 40A 220V breaker.

Men at Work. I loved them when I was younger. I have a big sense of humor with music and love goofy and silly stuff.

A major factor is WHEN a city grew. California didn’t get giant cities with tons of people until the 20th century, when cars were pretty common. If you get an older house in the LA Basin, it likely to have at least as a carport. When you get to older cities, the city grew up when cars were not that common. You see a…

Partly because that is oil country(particularly the Dakotas).  They saw a huge boom/bust cycle there with Fracking.

That’s easy. Ever been to a covered dish fellowship?

I don’t see it as a classic crossover.

Not just hospitals. All the companies.

Yes, R1S on the street.  It’s too big (and expensive) for my needs.  Then I came into work and saw the R2, which looks to be a better fit.  Then I saw the R3, which I think is quite cool, but maybe a bit too small.

I doubt the R3 will be that heavy. The R3 is supposed to be smaller (maybe) than the Model Y and those are 4400 lbs.

To each their own. But 600+ hp in a package this size is pretty darn cool, no matter what.

Oh yeah.  Skilled craft is harder to find than engineers.

Yeah, but this one is cool looking.

My dad was a high level engineering manager back in the 60s and 70s. There’s a way to do this right.

You act like this is a bad thing.

They have thrown us a GIANT gift (R3X). Let’s not demand a company that is trying to find a place in the market to make something we know will never sell.

Oh, I don’t think Tesla will hit a rock. I think Stellantis, Renault/Nissan, GM, Ford and a bunch of others will run into trouble WAY before Tesla.

Yep, exactly their line of thinking.

The list I found showed it ahead. But that isn’t really the point.

Being in the south, EVs aren’t common. I”ve seen a couple R1Ts around town but honestly, I don’t need, nor want a truck.

This is a trainwreck coming for ALL industries.
