      Game over for gas.... Untill you relies you'll be on a even longer wait lost then the model 3 that most TO THIS DAY years later are still waiting for it... And the people that do have a model S, 3, X, and Y also usually still have a gas car in the driveway for when the Tesla inevitably breaks down for something else again... Yeah hunny untill their reliably score can at least beat Fiat/Chrysler, they will only ever be expensive toys instead of reliable primary transportation.
      Evey tesla fanboy gushes over all this and ignores the fact if i go on car gurus theres litterally hundreds of low mileage second hand model 3's flooding the used market in the DMV area because their all lemons people ditched once they realized the car spent more time with Tesla for service then in the owners possession. My model 3 was a absolute nightmare, and even if electric is the futuer id sooner buy a elecric car from GM, Hyundai, or wait for the full Ev's mazda and toyota are making together to release before i even buy another Tesla product.
      Amazing tech, hindered by some of the most inexperienced manufacturing in the industry.

      Hawaii sounds very expensive, but is the most beautiful and exotic slice of the USA. On the mainland, I'd need 500 miles and preferably 800 just to know I can drive anywhere without being stranded or suffering in anxiety and fear about a lack of helpful services and infrastructure. There are still rural gaps in the grid so it still only makes sense as a local city car while most drivers have a gas vehicle. I wish we could go solar and not be solely dependent on the aging power grid powered by the smoky dinosaur fuel. Those shiny new Tesla cars looks so great and not a bit of smoke nor dripping oil and antifreeze is the case. I'm so tired of wading through parking lots full of oil and antifreeze while breathing the funk just tracking that in which why everything is so filthy. They did really well European countries on cleaning up the mess, redefining living standards, and making things work better with set industry standards, but we can't seem to figure it out here where we can't seem to even agree on plug standards.

      It is a borderline budget car with an electric drivetrain, so if they can get the range up to 200 miles the lower operating costs and maintenance would make it a serious competitor for cheap cars like the Chevy Sonic which is where EVs need to be competitive to dominate the market.

    Given that Tesla sells every $40k+ model that they can produce it would be very difficult to meet the battery and sales demand for a 25k or less vehicle. Many would buy and flip the cars until demand is met. Knowing Tesla though they would probably start with a 40k performance version before offering a long range or base model.

I'd also like a link for your "average of 3 years"...that might be in your country, but for this one it's closer to 8 years and getting longer each time a survey is done. If an EV battery is still capable of 90% of it's range when new at 8 years..that could either be no big deal if the car started with a 400 mile range, or very big deal if it's a low cost EV that started with a range of 150 miles or so. But once again, thats country dependent..I live in Texas where I can drive in virtually the same direction for 9+ hours without leaving the state or doubling back. Oh, and as for savings vs filling up with regular fuel? That depends on several factors..one is the price per gallon, second is how much free time you have to use slower charging which is cheaper than fast charging. Several independent car journalists in the US found that EV's are actually a bit more expensive at this point in time..and electricity charges per kilowatt hour are rising and have been for some time now...faster than gas prices.

If you want to go on a road trip, you can charge it to 100% and have at it (or let the onboard map route you to the nearest charger etc.).
      And yes, they also recommend leaving it plugged in whenever you're not driving but it's not a big deal. You get home, grab the cord, push the button to open the charge port flap, stick it in, done. You can even schedule charging so it happens in the middle of the night when it's cheaper.

      @bairdjc 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I watched another YT video that said, based on surveys, that there were 3 main obstacles to widespread EV adoption:
      - price (sub $36k) - you can get EV's there now
      - range (over 300 miles) - you can get very close to this right now
      - recharge (under 30 minutes, full charge) = this is the issue
      [and the numbers above aren't exact but they are close enough to make recalling them easier]
      So yes you can get a sub $36k EV, but it won't have anywhere near 300 mile range, and you can get nearly 300 mile range but the EV will cost much more than $36k AND NEITHER of these will have such a short recharge time. Right now it's basically impossible given current battery technology; even under the most ideal of conditions for an M3 and a V3 charger, it can give you 75 miles in 5 minutes, but only if your current state of charge is low and only for that short period of time - beyond that charging slows significantly due to chemical and physical restraints of the battery technology. The video I reference then goes on to erroneously state that charging to 50% twice under 30 minutes total is the same as charging from 0 to 100% under 30 minutes at once (totally wrong).
      Solid state batteries are supposed to be able to charge very quickly, but have limited recharge cycles meaning you'd need some sort of battery swap program. They're also lighter, so you can pack more onto a car to increase range without the incremental loss in range (e.g. you can add range by adding batteries, but these are batteries that are heavy and merely by adding them reduce the range of the existing batteries, so it's a game of diminishing returns).

      @@bairdjc There is a decent chance that the IONIQ 5 might be able to deliver on all three counts, if the more optimistic rumours come true. Pricing is set to be between $30k and $40k, making it likely that the long range, rear wheel drive version will be available at around the $36k. Hyundai says it will do 292 miles, but as owners of Hyundai EVs will tell you their cars often deliver more miles than the EPA/WLTP ratings indicate making 300 miles possible for most. The IONIQ 5 is said to be able to go from 10 % to 80 % in 18 minutes, if plugged into a 350 kW CCS charger, which would mean that it in most cases will be able to charge enough to go for at least another two hours before needing to recharge again.
      Solid state will be nice, when they arrive, however as the IONIQ 5 proves the current available technology can also deliver what is needed.

      Charge stations will not necessarily function like gas stations. In South Africa when driving cross country, certain towns, more or less halfway, are popular refueling stops. In stead of stopping once, split your journey in 3, recharge more often with shorter stops and like say 80% charges and avoid lengthy stops.

However, as more and more Tesla's flood the market (along with every other EV coming out), the charging ability and network to support them charging on the go will have to exponentially increase. No one wants to drive 15 miles out of their way, and or wait 20 minutes to hook up. Recharging has to become as ubiquitous and easy as filling up a tank of gas. Many of us have home chargers that can do the trick overnight, but not everyone is based at home all the time and getting and keeping a charge while out of your home base might be the new range anxiety.

To make the car cheap, you need to finetoone the process and shave off the cost bit by bit. In fact, the body of the car is more than half of the price, despite evryone thinks it's the battery. Until Tesla figures out how to make cheap body they can not make an affordable car. This is where I think Tesla is far behind the OEMs. All the rest Tesla is dominating.

    1st There is NO WAY they will make EVERYONE on earth buy electric cars
    2nd 19k$ is still alot to many many people
    3rd E cars compared to gas/diesel cars are very VERY slow with charging
    4th Many countries have 1/2 superchargers MAX in the whole country
    5th When they are lowering the price they are making the cars uglier, slower, smaller, less range ect.
    Add something else if you think the same

    With Tesla it's a "Believe it when you see it" kinda deal. We're still waiting on the 35K M3. Sure it was available for a short period of time requiring buyers to jump through hoops to order only to be told 12 month wait and now you can't even order it.

    I live in the country so I don’t want no city car. If I spend that kind of money it would end up being my main transportation and so I would need at least 800 to 1000 mile range on a charge. Then I’ll be interested till then I’ll stick with my Corolla!

      Battery tech is advancing faster than ever thanks to the demand generated by this.
      ICE tech has been stagnant for 50+ years
      ICE generates far more waste
      With increased renewable energy sources electric cars will be less of an environment burden where as ICE cars will stay the same

    Well at that price, for sure it's game over. The only thing holding me back in getting a Tesla is the high price even for the M3. A truly affordable option will make the jump a non-brainer.

      thanks to John Q. Public who is subsidizing it directly through tax incentives and indirectly through paying for the roads, etc. through their gas taxes which combined make up any financial viability for these things, otherwise these are total money losers ... just look at electrics' resale value
