All electric cars sucked until Tesla. Those are actually sweet cars. Yea we still need improvements in battery and charge tech, BUT we needed that for ICE cars too, not like anyone is still driving around in Model Ts. LMAO!

Yup. Teslas are indeed cool, so long as you don't regularly need to drive long distances. For an about-town car, that can jump out of the starting gate into traffic, can't be beat.

What is range and how long to charge?

And if need repairs how does that look?

Exactly my point. I don't have the answers except in a general sense: "shorter" and "a lot longer than filling a gas tank" and "much more expensive." So much so that many EVs that get in wrecks have to be totaled, because the batteries are an integral part of the frame. You can't just put it up on the rack and tweak it back into square, like you can with an ICV.

BTW I drive older ICVs, basically keep 'em 'til they quit. No EVs here. Which is why I can't give you exact answers, though of course the actual answers do vary significantly under the circumstances. For one, an EV's range is significantly shorter at cold ambient temperatures. Which is why you'll see more of them in California than in Montana.

I drive older truck and sedan ICE

another thing that newer cars can be stopped by a kill switch ?

EV teslas are they wired if someone devious just decides to flip switch?

Yes. Hybrids are an excellent compromise, best of both worlds I suppose you could say.

My great grandpa had one of the first model Ts

Grandpa was a Ford guy.

Son in law has a Tesla

DonтАЩt know about charging

Or the minerals needed to mine for a battery?

I like my gas cars

Saw one dude sleeping in his Tesla while it hogged the left passing lane

Thinking what an asshole

Many teslas being driven

Not sure about the virtue

Pretty sure itтАЩs a vanity signal

But so are $75k trucks that only see the paved roads. Lol
