[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tesla is the only viable EV at the moment. [/quote]

I love that you tried so hard to troll here and no one bit. Your life seems sad.[/quote]

You're a moron.

The infrastructure does not exist in the vast majority of the country for EVs.  Tesla by far in and away is so far ahead of everyone else in that department. Tesla has many more years experience making batteries than every other automaker. Many EVs lose tremendous amounts of range when challenged with heavier loads and cold weather. Tesla's range holds up the best. You can hate Elon all you want. The fact of the matter remains, that as of Jan 25 2023, Teslas are the only real viable EV on the market, primarily because of the charging infrastructure they've built up. You cannot take other brand EVs on longer hauls without significant problems for charging and/or time delays. [/quote]

We have two teslas and we live in a snowy climate (have already received 20 feet of snow this winter!). Our range holds up well, but I think it’s helped a lot by the fact that we are at a high altitude so there is less wind resistance. I read that Audis retain their charge in cold weather better than teslas. But as pp said, so far, tesla has the best network. Our neighbor has a beautiful rivian, and he said it’s frustrating that rivian’s network is being built so slowly. He won’t take his on out of town trips.

I know people still like hybrids or are turned off by Elon, or don’t want to bother with charging and would rather get a full tank of gas and be on their way. But the future is EV’s for personal vehicles. Norway has a goal of 100% of new car sales being EV’s by 2025, and they are already 80% of the way there. Eight out of ten new cars sold in Norway are 100% electric, not hybrid. China is over 20% for new ev sales and their charging network is maybe the best.

@50% of EV cars sold in the US last year were non-Teslas. Unlike Tesla, those cars are not beholden to a closed charging network. I know you think you are right. I know you feel certain. The 50% that are not Teslas (that number will grow by percentage and real number) will be fine whether or not your certainty thinks so. [/quote]
