Tesla will not benefit as much as you might think because they are too expensive. There is a price cap of $55k on cars and $80k on trucks and SUVs. I work in the industry, and transaction data for Tesla is unfortunately not available like it is for most OEMs. That said, a high percentage of Model 3s and Model Ys…

It might make sense to get past dense traffic, like here in the East Coast. Through traffic could just hop right over big cities. New Castle, Delaware would be a prime candidate.

Or, I don’t know, build a rail network that allows us to get where we need to be?

A passenger line between SF and LA is something we could only dream about, but alas, there still isn’t a single one. And the only ways to get there involve jets (which are not environmentally friendly), cars (which are no better AND…

The average person doesn’t own a Polestar.

And you’ll need an extra 100 amps of service just to run that one charger. 

I always thought the Eagle Vision was the best looking of the LH platform cars.

The Mazda5. It was a rare vehicle with the parent-friendly sliding rear doors that hadn’t morphed into a 4,500 pound behemoth. You could even get it with a stick, which other minivans had stopped offering a generation ago. The Transit was the only other vehicle comparable to it, but of course it has also gone the way…

Yup... and with ‘reports’ like this is how the anti-BEV crowd likes to spread FUD about BEVs.

The example in the WaPo article that you quoted was an iron mine, the product of which is obviously not exclusive to EVs. You know this, and I know this, and I’m sure most people reading this site know this. But a lot of people that read the source article will either not know this, or not care, or miss the part where…

It’s especially hilarious that the hypocritical bastards ADMIT that they don’t really give a shit about the issues they use to gin up voters. Does this double hypocrisy, of not only doing the thing they claim to not want and then admitting they really don’t care about it, affect the vote? Nope, a bunch of racist,…

I am with you on that.  For the money, there are several more attractive and better built options in the next 1-3 years. 

We are adding a second vehicle to our house, and we want an EV mid-size SUV.

First gear: I don’t believe a single word that comes out of that dude’s mouth. Musk is a perfect example of why CEOs need to keep their mouths shut when it comes to anything other than legitimate business discussions. He is the primary reason I will never buy a Tesla.

Fourth gear:
Too little, too late. People have…

This is actually such a good idea I’m not sure why no one has thought of it before. Seems like a win-win for the franchise owner and ChargeNet. People will come to charge and get a bite to eat, and people coming to eat will use the visit to top off their batteries.

WAY TO GO, JOE!

it looks like the Inflation Reduction Act’s goal of getting more EVs built in the US seems to be doing it’s job. whether that stays true as time goes on we will have to see.

I would compare against VW offering since they are based on the same platform.
I found VW ID.4 as massive disappointed and I hope Q4 is much better.
Since I saw it in EU, I wanted to buy it, but will it be possible when you look at current dealer problem? ie, can you get it at MSRP

In a warming world, grid upgrades are already required to support additional AC usage.

Tesla is in serious need of a makeover, I mean the model S still looks good, but long winded. The E-trons and the Taycans look phenomenal. 

EV naysayers are so annoying. You can’t have EV’s until there’s a charging infrastructure, you can’t have a charging infrastructure until you upgrade the grid, but there’s no need to upgrade the grid until there’s a need to.

These same people seem stunned to learn just how many cars were on the road before the first…
