[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]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.[/b] 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.

Dude!!! Don't you get it? I'm a PP that wants to go electric, but my entire zip code has ONE charger and it's for the guests of the hotel it's at only! Then, for about 25 miles of my 32 mile commute, there are NO chargers. Then there is a Tesla only one. Then there are a few closer to work, but at least one is only usable during hours I'm at my job.

But yeah, I don't want to bother with charging and I like paying for tanks of gas  :roll: [/quote]

But with a 64 mile commute, you wouldn't need to charge anywhere but home.

I looked for the EV with the smallest range and it's the Mazda MX-30 with a 100 mile/charge range.

See, this chart proves beyond a doubt that Teslas are really the only viable option for EVs at the moment given the price per range cost.

Lucid is also a trash car company that shouldn't even be in the list because they have severe quality and production issues and may eventually cease to exist. Tesla dominates the range for affordable prices compared to most anything else that comes close. The ranges listed are also what's claimed on paper and probably aren't even close to real world performance where ranges will be significantly reduced when hauling things and cold weather. Tesla would have even better range at the moment compared to competitors in actual real world use.  Then consider how bad the current lack of infrastructure is for all the vehicles besides Tesla on that list.

Hate Elon all you want. Teslas are the only viable EV on the market at the moment for real world use and when you have to drive longer distances.  You'll be screwed for chargers in any other brand types once you start getting out of more developed parts of the country. Have fun driving 2 hours out of the way to find a broken charger for your Kia that takes 40 minutes to charge for 120 miles of range in the winter before you need to go out of your way for another giant detour to find another charger again.[/quote]
