Most ppl need to pump, pay, and park. For EV is just plugging in
- No, my motors never overheated, no matter how many pulls i did
I'm sure there are a lot of ICE cars that do though
And of course you're going to mention track performance...And no, not planning to track my SUV anytime soon, nor would advise anyone use large cars for these activities. Get dedicated track car
- Range of over 400? why?
All my cars in the past barely crossed 300m mark on the single tank
I mean 4-bangers might have a better chance, but that is no fun
- My Tesla outperformed my Audis and Bimmers, costs similar and most reliable out of all of them
- Lifespan should be either the same or better
People are putting 200K miles on these driving as limo and stating no maintenance or shop visits. Cars look as new as from day 1
- Lets not even go into environment... The amount of harm that oil production does to our planet is absolute disaster. You keep getting stuck on the toxins and recyclebility of battery, which i explained to you numerous times is not an issue with new Gigafactory.
I'm also having a hard time to believe that you cannot charge at your destination overnight. What is that location that doesn't have electricity?
Do they not have sewer either?
Care to share address (approximate is fine) ? |
1. Maybe in California, but in Florida I've seen a total of two. One for employees only at a business, the other at a hotel for hotel guests. I see tons of e85 stations though.
2. Its park, pay, pump. Takes me 2 min. If charging is 10 min, charge stations would have to be 5 times larger to be as effective and just as numerous as gas stations. Huge amount of real estate someone needs to pay for.
3.electric motors start heating up after 3 or so good pulls and loose far more effectiveness that ice engines. I don't track but now your comment on tracking makes most people need a second car to track. Most people can't afford a crappy tesla to begin with, let alone a dedicated track car also, so tracking would become something only for the wealthy elite.
4 i got 400 mile range on my 335i all day before mods for over 200k. Less stops, less station stops. Up the number of spaces again on the fueling sites.
5 car looks are owner maintenance. Battery life however is not. Batteries need changing well before 200k. That's costly, poluting, and expensive. Add that cost in and they become even more expensive.
6. The ev batteries are a real environmental hazzard. Heavy metals, mining, etc. Oil production is a way smaller impact. ANWR needs a footprint in the artic the size of a football field to produce the oil for 80 yrs of US consumption. Smaller than a single nickel plant. The electricity needed to generate the power for evs comes from where? Fossil fuels. Its an inefficient way to make power. And if you want to go to the false socialist argument that there's climate change, well I'll leave that to the new administration to correct the record.
7. I drive 300 miles each way daily for work. There's no overnight charging. And even if i do an overnight stay at a hotel, i need to as the front desk for a plug, extension cord, worry about a kid unplugging me? Its hard enough even finding a parking spot. The laughs from the desk would be thunderous.
8. Almost forgot reliability. Consumer reports just named the tesla one of the most unreliable card on the market. Teala does have reliable tow vehicles for roadside assistance. F350 diesels. Which brings me to towing. I don't see any EVs towing. Guess we won't be allowed to anymore?
