[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh yes, so reliable. Look how much range all these cars lose in the winter: … Mach E loses like 15% of its range in the winter after driving only 88 miles for a a battery with about 200+ miles of range. My parents live 110 miles away. That means if I had a Mach E, I'd lose about 10-20% of range going one way in the winter to see them and may barely make it there if you hit a snarl of traffic. I'd have to charge it 2-3x for hours on end in the winter if I wanted to go visit the rents, assuming I could even find a charger on the way they wasn't even broken and wouldn't require significant detours. I know for a fact though that there are multiple Tesla charging stations evrywhere along the same way that would make the trip not troublesome like it would be in a Mach E or some other brand. This isn't also considering the fact that most manufacturers say you shouldn't charge to 100% in order to prolong battery life. [b]EVs other than Teslas are not viable because there is no viable charging infrastructure, they lose tons of range in the winter, and it is harder to plan longer distance trips in large protons of the country.[/b] [/quote] This is changing really quickly. In part because of last year’s infrastructure bill which threw $b at the issue. Also, do you realize you’re boasting that Tesla has more chargers (for now) because Elon decided to make his chargers different to foil any competition, instead of, you know, working for a common solution to help the environment. [/quote] Is this supposed to be some kind of intelligent post? Ooooohhhhooo. Elon, the big bad guy because he made product specific chargers......meanwhile legacy auto makers have been around for 90+ years did nothing to electrify a long time ago even before Elon, yet your gripe is with Elon? Dumb. The infrastructure bill is also years and years away from improving charging infrastructure amd density. Once again, as of 20e, Teslas are still the only viable EV on the market because of their infrastructure.[/quote] So you have nothing but ad hominens and some BS about how the market is incapable of meeting market demand for non-Tesla chargers. Newsflash, sweetie, it’s already happening. Says all you need to know about Tesla owners. [/quote]
