Tesla only the king of mileage breh. Lol

The quality for the price point is avg at best. They got like 4 colors to pick from and no style. The suv look like the popemobile. Tesla drivers tell me all the time my shyt looks way better than theirs.

Quality>quantity

this is why I’d buy an EV from one of the euro brands before buying a Tesla. The fit and finish for the price is trash. Terrible quality.

One of the main reasons Ive kinda gone cold on Teslas. I wanna shoot for a BMW i4..but its still to expensive. I'll try and grab one with 30-40k on the dash in 2023

I'm from where Petey come from
Switched to a EV in 2020 when the pandemic started. I'm never going back to a car with a engine. Been saving so much not paying for gas it's ridiculous.
I have a long commute so I spend about 25 a week to charge in my apartment complex. EV has too many advantages over regular cars: acceleration off the line, no oil changes low maintenance, brake regeneration(which adds miles back when you use it), carpool lane, 1 deep legally.

Come on yall it's plenty room in EVset. Yall won't be disappointed.

Don't buy a bum ass rolling egg tesla tho. Lol

In 2 to 3 years I’ll be trading in my Q5 for an eTron :mjgrin:

Assuming a typical Tesla gets 250 real miles on a quick charge. $250/20 = 12.5mi/dollar + time and inconvenience of those chargers

I paid $75 to refill a 25 gallon tank and I get about 17 mi/g = 17mi/g x 25g/75 dollars = 5.7 mi/dollar

And, if you'/re charging at home, you're paying a small fraction of that for electricity.
Foxy Brown math :mjlol:

250 miles / 20????, I hope that's not 20 dollars because that already disqualifies your calculations. Not to mention 75 dollars for a 25 gallon tank. You are not getting 3 dollars a gallon gas anywhere right now.

Your calculation should also be dollars per mile.

Redo your math b

I got 33k miles in a year. No quality issues at all. Color selection can be better no doubt and That SUV is ugly tho. :russ:

Check US News and world report rankings. Top EVs are Tesla. Safety and Quality. Did a ton of research before copping. The Supercharger network is a huge advantage over the competition that none of their competitors can match. They let Tesla get market hare and brand recognition as the premier EV. Now they wanna wave ride. Too late

If everybody somehow goes to majority electric vehicles, then electricity rates are probably going to get much higher because of the monopoly power companies will then have.
Yep matter of fact let's get rid of EVs altogether and stick with the existing fossil fuel companies. I mean they don't have any kind of monopoly whatsoever over gas today. We'll never get caught in a situation where we're paying $4-5+/gallon with them

You must not see what they are trying to do. But keep on living, you will see.

Do most people even want an electric car? I sure as hell don’t. But they’re gonna force this shyt on us...
it'll be decades before it's even close to forced but it's the new direction yes....got a lot of kinks to work out. Took years to get gas vehicles decent too.

I get what you're saying. I just don't see the problem being EVs. It's more the market and current regulations. The way markets are setup today would just allow for few companies to monopolize and keep rates high. Regulations will need to change.

Im scratching my head if the alternative that nikkas suggest is to stick with fossil fuel cars as if that's a brighter future

Like you said. Nothing will be perfect. So I'm not waiting on anything they suggest to fix the problem. They all get greedy.

Anyone who thinks running on electricity is going to be more expensive than running on gas is :mjlol:



And the conspiracy dumbasses here, as if the actual conspiracy hasn't been fossil fuel companies and their bought politicians conspiring to keep us running on gas. If it wasn't for them we would have already been driving electric by the 1990s.



Someone explain why China already hit 500,000 electric buses a couple years about while the USA has like 100 total? :ohhh:

I can’t wait to see what those Coke heads at Dodge are cooking up for their first electric sport car entry. They said the sound of it is going to be wild which is odd since ev’s don’t make any noise at all.
