What will it take to make you seriously consider an EV?

Well, I'm glad you know the future so well. Happy for you. While you are at it, let me know the lottery numbers.

 

This is an extremely effeminate post (fyi).

 

Past results guarantee future performance... !?!?

 

I've had an EV 7 years and everything about the experience continues improving. Why is there reason to believe things will go south? Serious question.

 

Drives a lifted diesel truck that pollutes - your choice, your right

drives an EV - youre effeminate and you will cerainly regret it and should never do it

 

A lot of this self-driving stuff seems like all of AI in that somebody built it (or tried to) without a large demand for it. Who was asking for this? It's a supply trying to create demand rather than the other way.

I too have owned an EV for a number of years and love it. It has a self-driving mode for interstates that I engaged twice for no more than a few seconds. Did not like it at all. Extremely uncomfortable feeling. If something went wrong, it would take me longer to react than if I was just driving the car myself. As a result, it almost seems like you have to pay more attention to the driving than if you were just doing it yourself.

 

Lots of people are asking for it. It's safer than human drivers, and eventually should be more cost effective. Of course, I am talking about Waymo, the one that actually works and is taking on customers. Not the fake service that Tesla is shilling.

 

I suggest you take a 2-3 day test drive of a Tesla and experience FSD 14.2. After years of blowing a lot of smoke, the product took a big step early last year and since then has rapidly advanced the last 18 months to the point it's become my favorite feature.

It will shock you.

 

At least Waymo doesnt have phantom braking issues like Tesla.

 

What's stopping Elon from pressing the button and launching robotaxi "to half of america" by the end of the yr?

 

state regulations?
