    I've had a Tesla for about 7 years now and I can tell you that driving 172 miles from town to town, charging still sucks. Now since there are more tesla model y and 3 on the road all the chargers are full and even if there is a spot everyone at the charger is lowered in the amount of power they consume. So, if you sit at the charger back int 2018 to charge it would take me 40 min to full and now with everyone else charging it's more like an hour and half. Now that is to get me to about 80 percent. Now you're probably thinking well just charge it enough to make the trip. The issue with that is that some place that you stay don't have a charger for your car. And if you stay somewhere longer than a day that means you can't go anywhere while you stay. There is a long way to go before the grid can keep up with this demand.

Renewable energy in its current form isn’t the answer. Newer battery technology to alleviate this theoretically could help but isn’t the silver bullet at the moment that can solve the issue. Also quit with the affordable EV market. Any car that starts over $25K new is completely off limits to a majority of the population here in the US.

EVs are already cheaper to own over the lifetime of the vehicle than gas, but in five years it will be no longer even be a competition. Battery costs will likely be half what they are today with longer life and better performance.

    If you are going to be an fool and charge your EV inside your garage, and even worse if inside your garage is actually inside your house, then be less of a fool and install a smoke alarm over your car that is interconnected to the other smoke alarms in your house. That way, when the battery goes into thermal runaway whilst charging - and don't delude yourself that "that will never happen to me" - at least you will be woken up so you dont burn to death in your sleep. And what Musk says, it happens to LFP batteries, too. If you have that smoke alarm at least you'll probably have 15 minutes to get your children out of the house and to safety UPWIND before your house burns to the ground.

    When I was a kid, I used to be a try-hard. I would try to make different products popular, I'd try to make words I made up popular. Nothing took. I realized, you'd need to be a celebrity to make that happen with a well-funded, clever ad campaign, and even that's not a guarantee. Secondly, your stuff just has to work and be better. It has to be smarter.
    When I see EVs, I'm reminded of how I used to be and how kids are today and were back then. Certain people just want to make it happen because of the media and misinformation. Some people think EVs are new. Some think they're hi-tech. Some think that because it has no engine, not much fluids, doesn't make a noise or emit anything, it's better.
    It's just not. It has serious issues. They shouldn't be sold to the public. A lot of EV drivers are smug and think they are smarter than everyone but they're just waiting to learn the hard way.
    ICE cars are annoying, I won't lie. But they work and get the job done. They can last for decades if taken care of. I love new tech but am not a fan of EVs. I was actually considering getting one when Bolts were cheap. I noped out of it. Way too many red flags came up I didn't even think of before I even saw the listing. It's just not worth it. Without all the hype and the lies, no one would touch them if they had a brain.
    I feel like EVs will end up like ultrawides again. You'll see people quietly dropping them and even the diehards will be muttering quietly something like "I had kids" or "I went on too many road trips and I couldn't make it work..."
    They haven't even been able to make hybrids standard after two decades. I don't think that's happening either.
