I am voting for Trump and buying a hybrid with 500+m range is better solution then waiting to charge every 200m.
Have fun with range anxiety, I also heard the costs are getting as high as gas prices at charges.
Those issues probably affect only a very small fraction of people; e.g. Uber drivers. The reality is that most people don't even charge every 200m, they charge every 50m at home (which comes out to be 1/5th of the gas cost). It's a little inconvenient on long road trips but it's not too bad to take a 20-30 min break every 3 hours. There may be millions of reasons for not owning an EV but charging and cost are not real issues for most people.

Everybody thinks they save money driving a Tesla, but nobody will tell you the cost of insurance negates everything
Stop spreading lies. I got an insurance quote on a Tesla last week, it was 5% more than I'm paying now.

I don't like range anxiety and like to travel. Most hybrids are coming with electric heat pumps now to car camp.
Dont get me wrong the tesla is a great car if you like finding or waiting to charge and stopping 5 times for a 850m trip and spending 30m figuring out what to do. I want to fill up and go and take quick bathroom breaks.
So if you like driving around the city 50m hybrid range is all you need imo.
Besides the cost of fixing a tesla when out of warranty can be a disaster ,especially if you hit something that damages the battery.
I an surprised how good lane keep assist has improved over the years. although auto pilot if cool if you spend the money to get it. people can get incomplacent driving a tesla and most likely someone will hit you first before you hit them just because they rely on autopilot. most accidents are avoided with the driver being more defensive and reacting to situations that would cause your car to be damaged. these electric cars need to be at 400 to 500m range before id consider one. I also thought by now the batteries would have improved but looks like you need to spend 100k to get a tesla with 400m range

For a new 2023 Honda Civic the average cost of full-coverage car insurance is $172

For a new 2023 Toyota Tundra the average cost of full-coverage car insurance is $185

For a new 2023 Tesla Model Y the average cost of full-coverage car insurance is $289

This is factoring in a married 35 year old male with good credit. Sure this will vary but Tesla insurance is common knowledge way higher due to the fact any minor accident can lead to a totaled vehicle much easier with a Tesla.

Its because a tesla is more likely to be totaled if hit the wrong way. Due to the battery.

Quote from mircury :


My model Y performance can beat a c7 corvette 0-60 one day,

I know this is a big talking point for Tesla owners, but as the owner of a 2019 Grand Sport I can tell you it is not really a 0-60 car. This car is built to run on a track. ALL DAY.

So I would love to see you beat my C7 on a track. Your brakes would probably melt before you had to recharge the first time.

0-60 is insignificant really. Suspension and braking are just as important as speed. What good is speed if you can't get around a corner at speed, or you can't stop the car from that speed repeatedly.

No disagreement on the plugin hybrids, though you do have to maintain both electric and gas components of the vehicle. The non-pluggins are a gimmick.

Owned two civic type Rs.
Car was great and fast but if I had to upgrade I would want AWD just because winters and cold weather with ice where I live. Also Hondas have no torque. If I had the option to buy a car it would be tesla or a hybrid AWD. If I had money during bidenomics I would have a corvette mid engine for the summer and hybrid in the garage for all weather conditions.
Hondas are also cheap to fix . One could easily keep one for 10+ years with little maintenance costs. resale value on a civic type r will be a better car and almost certain will be a collectors item in 20 years.

Most peoples homes will barely fit a cyber truck inside a garage. So make sure you measure before buying one. With hail in my area this would be a no go option. Also latest news articles say body shops won't touch a cyber truck because of the sheet metal and design after they saw the crash tests.

Hybrid is the way. Full electric can't be done without destroying the land to harvest materials, not to mention the cost to the environment when making a battery (emissions). But this is a 15min city car.
Hybrid sucks. You get all the maintenance of an ICE engine (generally a smaller crappier one too), and you slap a pathetically small electric system to it. So you get literally the worst of both worlds without a good example of either.

News articles negatively portraying Tesla before data actually releases? No way…

Quote from sdrjdrjd :
Actually, the brakes on EVs will FAR outlast those a non-EV, due to regenerative braking that does not involve friction (wear) between the brake pads and brake rotors. I'd estimate that I have at least a 90% reduction in my use of conventional braking (using the brake pedal) on my Tesla Model 3 compared to my previous vehicles. Gotta love one-pedal driving -- such a better experience! Exceeding 500,000 miles on the original set of brake pads is not an unreasonable expectation. It's recommended to do periodic brake fluid changes on EVs (just like with non EVs), but pads and rotors will experience a dramatically reduced rate of wear.
Exceeding 500,000 miles on a set of pads?

Um, I'm gonna have to ask for proof of that one. I mean the number of Teslas with 500,000 has to be minuscule let alone one with original pads LOL.

Also, it is recommended to service the caliper pins at the very least every 2 years, more if you are in an environment that salts the roads. I would hate to see you actually try to use the brakes and the calipers are seized
