61 here. If you want to be an early adapter, that's up to you. Let me know when the batteries will not explode (that tech already exists!) and they get 1,000 miles (1,609 KM) between charging. Also, most of them have self-driving features, which will be great for us older folks! It will keep us on the road longer. Oh ya, somehow get them a 5-star safety rating for front impact. Right now, there is nothing even close to that safety feature in EVs...
batteries are much less likely to catch on fire compared to hybrids and ICE/gas cars. let me know when most gas/ICE cars get 1,000 miles on a tank. you're just upset because you have a slow car.
Same kinda of responses on my videos, but im pushing 50 and wouldnt consider myself old 😂, but i fully embrace tech and ev’s. The people who get upset are the people who are least likely to buy a new car, but feel they need to comment just for the sake of it
Im 74 and i couldnt care less .you will have to grow old in the world you create.i think we should go back to riding horses totally eco friendly cant run out of petrol or get a flat battery .their fuel is eating grass and drinking water no mining lithium involved or burning fossil fuels .
The future is NOT electric, at least not the current crop of rubbish that is being produced. There may be some place for EVs but they aren't the answer. We need something that operates effectively the same way ICE engines do now. Efficient to refuel, replacable power plant when it wears out and LONG RANGE. Shot range vehicles may be ok in Europe but they are NOT ok here.
I'm sorry but I completely disagree that EVs are here to stay. The rare elements that make up the batteries, the speed controller, the silicon required to build the ICs don't exist in enough abundance to replace every ICE vehicle. We're already scouring the ocean floor with machines to recover what we can, our earth's oceans are places we've never explored and we're destroying them. Not to mention the energy required to charge all of these cars, we don't have the energy infrastructure to cope with the additional demand. Let's take a typical UK housing estate with 1000 homes, even on tiny granny chargers of 3KW, that's 30K watts of additional energy for one UK housing estate, having driven 2 or 3 different EVs and charged them from my house, those granny chargers are only about 50% efficient, let's say on average you get 3miles / kWh, so you get home at 7PM, charge your car until 7AM, that's 3KW in at 50% efficiency to the battery = 18KWH of energy stored, that's only 54 miles, that doesnt include the energy used to heat the battery if it's cold. Most average UK households will use around 7KWH per day, that's now going to triple with the charging of EVs? The maximum capacity of our network is 75GW as of 2023, with a max usage of 61GW, that only leaves 14GW of headroom, that's less than 5k EVs charging at 3KW... The maintenance of EVs is also terrible, with 90% of EVs being written off by insurance companies if the Battery is compromised, that causes premiums for everyone to rise to cover the cost, part shortages are rife, you remove the option for home mechanics to fix their cars without specialist equipment. Most EVs are built in China and not on our own soil of the UK, we remove our own jobs and line the pockets of another country, that's economical suicide. Let's not get into Porsches e-fuel or carbon dioxide capture machines to convert that into hydrocarbons. Another vehicle will replace ICE, that I have no doubt but it won't be for a long time.
@myeverythingworld8123 did you read my statement to the end? ICE cars will be replaced just not by EVs. I'm sampling pointing out the reasons why EVs will fail.
call me selfish but i chose an EV to save money. for about the same price as my previous Audi A7, I got a Tesla Model Y for free lifetime supercharging and my insurance went from $325/mo to $177/mo (same coverage). this doesn't include all the maintenance cost i'm saving. so i have a less expensive car, more features, and much faster.
Nice man! Always love to hear good stories about actual EV owners, not people who read headlines and come to their own conclusions about EVs. Glad to hear you’re enjoying ownership.
Interesting edutainment about Advancements 👍

Cool cars video
Maybe for advanced nations, but the US is too busy paying for wars to modernize our failing electrical grid, which Cannot support nationwide EVs.
We need carbon for life. Make earth more green
LOL Nope whetever you like it or not. 100years old tech that lost against fuel.

I'd embrace the new technology if it wasn't shit.😂

This guy takes it up the arse
I had ford 351s in the 70s and 80s . I love my Tesla model Y .
PS not Elon .
Nice man, glad to hear you're enjoying the Tesla

He said he responded to good arguments your is he is no were to be seen cause your right and he is wrong

Indoctrinated and ignorance must be bliss
