Do you think it's impossible for a normal human to be factual and informed on a topic? Why?
It does though.
Why do you think it doesn't?
You can get both L1 and l2 safe extension cords quite easily.
Not L3, but then nobody has one of those at home anyway.
Then it's weird they keep selling more of them every year.
In 2023 roughly 1 in every 5 new vehicles was an EV worldwide. In 2024 it'll be even higher.... (though admittedly the US has been a laggard in adoption- but even then the rate keeps going up year after year)
You can turn sentry off of course- then you're no "worse" off than any other car that doesn't even have the feature. And it turns itself off if the battery gets down to 20%.
Don't compare China EV adoption/ tech to USA. In fact EV is practically non existent in many big countries, and entire Continent of Africa. Remove China from the data and it's likely an embarrassing figure.
Truckers are only allowed to drive 60 hours total in 70 days. And have to take a mandatory 10 hours off between shifts. More than plenty enough time to recharge a 500 mile range semi. And at vastly lower operating costs.
LOL yeah right... nothing would ever get delivered if they weren't allowed to drive slightly more than an hour a day
Who qualifies
You may qualify for a credit up to $7,500 under Internal Revenue Code Section 30D if you buy a new, qualified plug-in EV or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCV). The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 changed the rules for this credit for vehicles purchased from 2023 to 2032.
The credit is available to individuals and their businesses.
To qualify, you must:
Buy it for your own use, not for resale
Use it primarily in the U.S.
In addition, your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) may not exceed: $300,000 for married couples filing jointly
$225,000 for heads of households
$150,000 for all other filers
You can use your modified AGI from the year you take delivery of the vehicle or the year before, whichever is less. If your modified AGI is below the threshold in 1 of the two years, you can claim the credit.
The credit is nonrefundable, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You can't apply any excess credit to future tax years.
The tax credit is stupid. I make over the limit myself so I can't qualify when buying. But if I waste money leasing they'll give it to me lmao. Bought a 911 instead.

I've driven both a Model 3 and Model Y (and have also been a regular passenger in the latter) and they have to be the most uncomfortable, sterile driving experiences I've ever had. The seats and ride quality are just not good, and the road noise is very noticeable. There are also the well-documented fit-and-finish issues, FSD shenanigans, CyberTruck fiasco, etc.
And of course, that's all separate from the idea of financially supporting a... let's be charitable and say "unstable" CEO which may be an issue for some.
They do have a good charging network though, I'll give them that.
Lol I would hardly call driving an EV especially a Tesla sterile compared to ICE. The instant torque and acceleration is always a joy to drive, ICE is a bore compared.
For anyone whose bought an EV from a company like this, how does it work? Do you just order it when they contact out to figure out financing, etc? No hassle, no haggle? Is it like ordering from Amazon or do you negotiate with the sales people like they do at normal dealerships and they try to add on packages?

Not L3, but then nobody has one of those at home anyway.
Mind you, roughly 2/3rds of the US population lives in a detached single family home where you shouldn't need one unless you somehow have a really weirdly-tiny number/location of outlets... and then another chunk lives in places like duplexes and apartments with garages they can charge in... so the # of folks who legit can not charge at home is a small minority of the population. For that small minority they DO need either public chargers (or work ones, which is becoming more of a thing) right now-- though many apartment complexes are starting to realize there's some competitive benefit to offering charging to tenants as well.
Then it's weird they keep selling more of them every year.
In 2023 roughly 1 in every 5 new vehicles was an EV worldwide. In 2024 it'll be even higher.... (though admittedly the US has been a laggard in adoption- but even then the rate keeps going up year after year)

Sentry off is 21% now
In California, model Y is the best selling car. But the other car companies have caught up in terms of desirability.
All your tesla points are valid until and 1-2 years ago.
Tesla still is a very desirable car, but they have downsides too. Still to this day, they have inconsistent build quality issues and inconsistent service center quality. Some service centers literally make people give up on tesla. If you haven't experienced it, then you're one of the lucky ones. Right now you can lease a MB high end EV for much cheaper than tesla. They're not as fast, but some people prefer the luxuriousness for some loss of speed. Tesla started the revolution and I would definitely still consider getting another one, but cyber truck is a big flop and there are just many options now. Don't keep your options limited to tesla now that superchargers are available to most EVs pretty much

China alone is higher of course.
I even called out the US was lower, but still continues growing YoY as well.
But since you seem to want to focus on the US, EV were 7.6% of all sales in 2023.
Which was up from 5.9% in 2022 and is expected to hit 10% in 2024.

At this price the extreme is a really good value if not for the bankruptcy/no support concerns.
40k for a like 0-60 of 3.6s and Alcantara interior.
