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

Are we talking about vs the 7 seater family SUV?

 

Great point. I saw a super loud Camaro r****d get chopped by a dual motor on 59 the other day.

The real win is the quiet and comfortable ride home and being able to set the car to stay cool if you want to make one stop on the way home with groceries without it all being 120 degrees after 5 minutes. Don't make up stuff about performance.

 

lol i am still buying a porsche 100 out of 100 times....

also a teenager with mustang is for hitting humans at a car meet, not really for 0-60.

 

It's more like 20x. I think I posted in this thread or maybe another one, but the Nevera is my crush right now unless you're talking about a car for stance/looks (it looks good, but performance is where it shines). For performance, the Nevera may currently be it. I've been watching videos for months of that thing stomping mudholes in Model S Plaids, sibling Bugattis, Ferraris, Hayabusas, F1 cars, etc. The only cars I've seen that could probably hang with it is a Speirling and the Lucid Air Sapphire. I think I also saw a modified Huracan sort of hang with it, but lose. I'd love to see the Sapphire race the Nevera - that'd be a blast to watch.

 

ev or not........this ain't it folks.

 

We need a train

 

Scotty actually really likes this one

 

I like those, but the range on them kinda sucks. That edition he's driving is probably $60k, and that's not enough car for that price - for me, anyway. lol.

 

We should have intercity rail and inner city mass transit. Traffic is a scourge. We didn’t have cars for most of civilization and now civilization is built around cars.

 

Well, I have a Mach-E.

Block away.

 

Cost and range seem to be the big blockers right now. If EV can get the costs to competitive with gasoline engine cars (< $3,000) I think that will shift things.

Right now Tesla's are luxury items still, while cheaper EV's lack consumer appeal.

 

Can't put rail anywhere if we keep building cities made for cars. Even a mile walk after you get off a train in houston is a death sentence in this heat. It's a lost cause. No one in Texas is going to give up all their land/3500sq houses for the benefit of having public transportation. People are buying bigger and bigger cars every day..and also moving farther and farther away..

We will just keep expanding highways until there's no land left.

 

Could we see bi-directional charging on the Cybertruck, despite Musk denying? What other interesting tech will be revealed with the cybertruck?

sub 25k stripped down Model 3? (ie: no model 2)

More significant price drops in the next 6 months?

@CXbby

 

Coruscant confirmed

 

This is so very ripe for parody.

 

i heard someone call Model 3 the "California Camry"..

.....perfectly sums it up.

 

Juat a quick shoutout, I enjoyed the stuff Matt and Kyle put out on their sites with respect to reviews.

 

Here's yet another graph that will cause some consternation within OPEC and Big Oil boardrooms.

 

For the first time, an all-electric vehicle has become the world's bestselling car.

Tesla Inc's Model Y has surpassed Toyota Motor Corp's RAV4 and Corolla models to top global sales rankings in the first quarter of 2023, data from Jato Dynamics published by Motor1 revealed.

The 2023 Model Y starts at $47,490, more than the 2023 Corolla, priced at $21,550, and RAV4, priced at $27,575.
