Besides cost, what keeps you from buying an EV?

So your reasons for not buying an EV are that you’re poor and anti-EV. So great that you chimed in.

FYI dearie, Poors can’t pay cash for cars that do 0-100 in under 6 seconds. Poors finance their cars for 72-96 months at 12%

As a reason for not buying an EV, the PP said "I refuse to go in debt for any vehicle." Meaning (s)he can't pay cash for it.

PP probably meant 100km/h.

Yes, anyone who finances a car at 12% for EIGHT years is dumb and likely poor.

Yeah, I refuse to go into debt for a vehicle too. Because I’m smart. The only thing I finance is my home. When I need a car, I give them a cashiers check and leave with it.

Re-read what the PP said . That’s an expensive car with that kind of performance (5.7L V8 and 0-100 in 6 probably means either a GM or Dodge, likely a Vette or a Challenger)

S/he’s able to pay $70-$100k cash for a car 99% of people would finance, and you still think that’s an indicator of poverty?

Good grief you’re dense.

Challenger? Snort.

Maybe she wasn't so poor when she got that car. Could be ancient. PP brought up her own financial situation as a reason why she won't get an EV. That, and she doesn't like EVs.

Who even references 0-100 speed? I had to look mine up. 4.3 according to MT.

And how many times is your P100 Plaid able to do that on a charge?

3? 4?

A Hellcat or Vette will do that all day long.

LOL - everyone would be stuck in gridlock traffic, out of gas and with dead batteries. We'd all be screwed!

We have short term memory. Even a US Senator couldn't get out...

Electric cars - the biggest scam the world has ever seen?

Has anyone ever thought about this?

"If all cars were electric...

And if we were stuck in a three hour traffic jam in the cold of a blizzard, the batteries would completely die.

Because electric cars basically don’t have heating.

And being stuck on the street all night, no battery, no heating, no wipers, no radio, no GPS, the battery is long dead.

You can try to call ambulance and protect women and children but they can't come to help because all roads are closed and probably all police cars will be electric.

And when the roads are blocked by thousands of loaded cars, no one will be able to proceed. How to charge batteries on site?

The same problem during the summer vacation is the traffic jams for miles.

The possibility of turning on the air conditioning in an electric car would not be available only for a short period of time. Your batteries would die in an instant!

Of course, no politician or journalist talks about it, but this will happen.

I don't have an EV because my driving currently includes frequent long-distance trips along routes with iffy charging options (even if I wanted to sit around waiting for my car to charge, which I don't). And Elon Musk is a tool, so I'm never buying a Tesla.

But zero percent of my decision is based on escaping during an apocalypse, and if it were, I'd prefer to reduce the need for escape by burning fewer fossil fuels.

How many years did it take Tesla to post a Nurburgring time without the car going into limp mode?

The cylinder heads alone for an engine like that cost more than $5200.

Funny how those goal posts keep moving.

For an accurate comparison we need to wait until we see one kitted out for that track.
