Only great accomplishment was figuring out, if you set the charge to only 80%, you'll only have very minimal battery degradation over the span of 10 years or so. We don't travel far and have only charged to 100% twice
Interestingly, Corolla does not make it to top 15.
#15 is 3.2% of cars (heck, #4 is barely above 6%). So, it is like 3 cars out of 100 makes it to the 200k+ miles IF your car is on top 15 on the list.
ANY car can outlast any other cars, There ARE Teslas out there with like 400k+ miles.
Even though I do not like Tesla's CEO, but I think what they are doing, getting rid of dealership is a good thing. Selling without negotiation is also a good thing.
We are talking about cars that are semi guaranteed until 100k miles (most battery/EV warranties lasts at LEAST 80k if not 100k) Not that many cars have that kind of warranty in terms of degradation. No ICE cars warranty their cars to keep 80% of efficiency after 100k miles. (Many of the EV cars have 80% or better battery capacity after 100k or 10 years warranty) Even with 80%, my car (Ioniq 5) can go about 230 miles or so. In reality, for about 95% of the time in the year, I do not need it to even go 100 miles/charge which is probably the case for 75-80% of the people out there.
I rather have FWD than RWD.
But in case compare fully loaded EUV to MY RWD. That is around 8k cheaper.
I would not get fully loaded EUV
- sun roof which is standard with Tesla
- Super cruise (autopilot is better with Tesla)
- Vegan leather seat (standard with Tesla)
I would get myseld EUV LT that is all which should be under $30k.. EV technology will have major breakthru every 3-5 years.
Bolt charging from 0-80% can take 45 - 60 minutes
Tesla can be 15 - 25 minutes if you doing long trip

1. It was claimed quite a few posts back that instead of pure EV, a PHEV might make more sense, economically. I don't know whether that's true or not but I think it's definitely a good debate to be had.
2. I think given much higher relative price, even after tax credits, one must really be charging at home to make most economic sense instead of superchargers. I don't think that's an outrageous claim to make.
Bottom line though, I'm actually actively considering a Tesla Model Y LR. As a matter of fact I just test drove one again today. To that end I really appreciate real life usage information instead of the all sunshine blow smoke up my rear end ones exhibited from some here, like pretending it's not more expensive, insurance is not more expensive or range and charging speeds isn't a consideration. One can acknowledge there are flaws and weaknesses and still think it's a good car. Tell me the good and the bad.

But rarely is any vehicle idea for all people. Or even an idea vehicle for one person might not be idea in all situations.
IMO (only IMO) there is still a case for hybrid for hyper performance vehicles. If one has a daily drive, I can't imaging not seriously looking at full on EV. Even if u can't charge at home.
California is obviously the biggest users of EV. They certainly have housing challenges. New Jersey makes the top 10 per capita in EV drivers. As does DC.
There r options. Perfect options? Maybe not. But remember no ICE even gives the possibility of charging at home, work, mall, park, hotel, zoo, etc. Where people actually want to go.

As for charger at home and work, unfortunately at my weekday home and work it isn't an option. Otherwise I'd probably own an EV already. But I think you hit the nail on the head in saying it's not for everyone. And it doesn't have to be ideal for me to be a good car/option for others. I think the reason I kept responding is the insistance by some that it's perfect for everyone. Anyways, good talk.

Makes me wonder why Tesla doesn't just advertise more if they want to sell more. Cutting price will only anger the current owners who paid $20k higher about 1 year ago. Offering a lower interest rate would be better than slashing price by 2 to 4%.
Your electricity still comes from fossil fuel power plants, batteries are extremely expensive to replace, extra heavy weight does more damage to our infrastructure and releases more toxic tire dust while driving, battery + salt may equal huge fire that could burn down your house if in garage and will take 10k-20k gallons of water to extinguish, not good for the economy there. Also takes longer to charge than pumping gas for 4 minutes.
