Go for a drive in a tesla model Y. Many people did that and then bought one. I don’t know what problem they are solving or if they even had one to begin with. It is a superior drive in every way though. The biggest reasons people give are still performance, tech and convenience. Drive what you like, like what you drive. It’s the number one car sold in many markets. And it comes down to people liking them. Try one. Maybe you will too. Who knows.
No thanks. The EMF radiation alone is enough to keep me away.

Interesting fact to consider. Tesla is building a battery plant near me. How is this going to affect this?

No doubt, driving around in a pricy EV can be quite the thrill, but as with most other things this self-centered personal indulgence, comes at what’s an ‘yet to be admitted’ environmental cost - truly a fool’s errand with no objective scientific justification - welcome in 21’st century Grant funded ‘Scientism’ (thanks to the ‘Academic Industrial Complex’ $$ - seemingly now the foundation of today’s popular, ‘peer signaling’ culture), to include charging logistics difficulties, while forcing one’s own neighbors to subsidize this fanciful flight…Orbiting Aliens must truly be take note (in astonishment!) of the wholesale stupidity and strip mining scaring nihilism that’s on FULL display - lol ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile") …EV advocates shouldn’t confuse their favorite hobby with authentic environmentalism…

With an electric bill of 160 kWh and last petroleum fill up July 2022 I could be sanctimonious but I won't. Because its an unrealistic lifestyle.
What I am going to state is this: some of you younger folks are going to live long enough to remember the Good Old Days: When electricity was an unbelievably cheap dollar per kWh. Shoot with the way inflation is going that may be five dollars an hour.
All my life I've prayed for the discovery of superconduction and fusion powered boilers. It looks like it'll remain a dream as I rest in the shade of a parota tree

Maybe. But 7 years ago it was 4 times cheaper to drive a given distance with our EV. Now it’s 6 times cheaper.
