but are you showing up in a Tesla to show off the car? Might as well as show up in a 2-4th gen Prius or some modded charger/camaro. it's boring.

Personally, I'd like to see us reduce oil dependency and have a country with energy independence so we can let the middle east sort out their own problems.
Remember the good old days, like 2010, when we all agreed that energy independence was good (BEFORE the modern age of hyper-partisan politics, YouTube soundbites, and no progress on anything).
Now we all forget that part when we talk about EV's
We did move away from oil. Its called nuclear. Now we're moving away from nuclear.
Since your moving away from individual benefit, the majority of electricity is still made from fossil fuels. Your fruits and vegetables and everything else delivered is on fossil fuel.
Anything you eat that is from the ocean or a farm required some use of fossil fuel somewhere.
Evolution of the vehicle should go in steps, and hybrids are really the next logical step until technology improves.
They didnt need rebates or mandates to get rid of the horse and buggy. When the market comes up with something better, then people will naturally adopt it.
NYC did something similar. We used to have very reasonable water rates. But because of the big push to "conserve water," and the usage of low flow faucets, they didn't generate enough money for "maintenance of the infrastructure". So now we pay more for water and we use less of it.
Use CFL/led bulbs, but we'll charge you more for electricity so you dont actually save money.
If I may ask, do you have battery failure anxiety? I hope that's not a dumb question, but I know that when it happens it's very expensive. Thanks for your time.
A big consideration is the unreliability of the EVs and questions as to if there will end up being any way to get service or parts. Models dropped from a line up can almost become valueless.

"Electric vehicle owners continue to report far more problems with their vehicles than owners of conventional cars or hybrids, according to Consumer Reports' newly released annual car reliability survey. The survey reveals that, on average, EVs from the past three model years had 79 percent more problems than conventional cars. Based on owner responses on more than 330,000 vehicles, the survey covers 20 potential problem areas, including engine, transmission, electric motors, leaks, and infotainment systems."
Another consideration is the drastic drops in Blue Book value. Take a loan for something that costs you $50,000 to see it valued a few months later at $20,000 is a road to financial ruin.

Plus most FF power comes from natural gas, which is cleaner than gasoline burning in individual cars.
So EVs continue to be cleaner than ICE cars regardless of where the power comes from.
Consumer reports data comes from people too old to understand how to cancel a magazine subscription.
EVs don't even have engines, transmissions, or most of the fluids a conventional car does.
Go look at the "problems" reported--- they're mostly "I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR" problems-- not actual vehicle reliability issues.
So if you're the type of person who has to call your grandkid to figure out how to change the passcode on your phone, an EV might not be for you--- but otherwise they're terrific.
In fact, the two best selling EVs in the country, the Tesla Model Y (also best selling car of any kind in the world) and Model 3, are both recommended by CR as your own link notes.
The problem is the bigger the economy the more they print... and it is not one party vs the other.
