This is why electric car advocates are totally unhelpful. PP said $50k. You recommended him a car that STARTS at 72k, has been through production hell with numerous pushbacks, and for all we know may never get released or may get released in a Tesla-like econobox quality
The only point I agree with here is the cost. It definitely is way over $50K. However, it most certainly will be released, will hit the streets this year (production hell? Ummmm, ok) and quality will be miles ahead of Tesla.

That story is from 2021.

I drive, on average, 75mph (no I’m not slowing down if I don’t have to), and we hate to stop during our roughly 3 hour drive. I googled and there are no options as far as I can see.
If I have to stop due to my average driving speed, then ev at this time isn’t for us. If I can’t pack in my family comfortably in an ev, an ev at this time is not for us. Everything else about an ev I can work with.
The recently announced EQS SUV looks to be able to satisfy your needs, if you can wait until the fall...
This is the next batch of EVs that are very promising, built by someone who is adopting new EV technology, including solid-state batteries, into their expertise of building cars. As more and more of these types of cars come onto the market, consumers will no longer have to sacrifice familiar comforts and features (although I agree Tesla has some cool tech) just to drive an EV.
