Only 5% of next car purchasers expect to buy all electric cars-Road and Track.

Come on Wilbur says you’re ignorant. There’s so few of those charging stations it’s hilarious. And it’s even funnier if people think they’re going to not be paying tax by the mile for EVs.

I can do any road trip I want within a reasonable buffer of the same travel time in a gas vehicle, anywhere on my half (the eastern half) of the United States.

It's not even a consideration. You're just that far behind.

Electric Vehicles Will Need New Taxation Or Governments Will Lose Billions

Governments could lose billions in fuel tax revenue from the shift to EVs. But this could be an opportunity for drivers to pay more fairly according to use.

Fantasy island is real.
Boca Raton to Quebec City and you're overrun with choices, all of which have bathrooms and food.
And that's just the Tesla network.

Tell me: What trip can't I do?

Tell me: What trip can't I do?

The one that anyone wants to go with you on?

 

[wilberforce15]

The one that anyone wants to go with you on?

So, you agree I can go anywhere I want, without any planning whatsoever, and have a guarantee of a full charge, bathroom, and food whenever I want?

I win.

I win.

How should I know where you go or what you want to do? What did you win? An overpriced electric vehicle? good for you.

Yes, it's expensive. I'm sorry that some of us have money and like nice things.

It doesn't matter where I want to go. The electric network is developed such that I can go anywhere with a full charge, bathroom, and food available for any destination.

I’m sorry you put your value and things that are not important they are all depreciating assets. I will choose the cheapest one when electric vehicles become that I’ll consider it

 

[wilberforce15]

That's okay. I used to be jealous of people who had nice things, too.
It's good you admit that any arguments about range, food, bathrooms, or travel time are pretty stupid.
Because they're all stupid arguments. Tesla wins them all.

So, now you just say I value things that aren't important.

That's cool. You do you, man.

 

[wilberforce15]

You want cheapest?

Great. Get a gas car.
I haven't told you to buy electric.

I've told you everything you've said about electric is ignorant and then I proved it.

But I have NOT said that it's right for you.

I consider winning to be having an ultra-high-enjoyment vehicle for relatively low cost. Performance and price never intersected like they do with Tesla. I can beat most italian supercars to 60mph, and I can do it for the cost of a high end minivan.

Don't hate.

 

[wilberforce15]

So, has everyone given up on the arguments about travel time, supercharger availability, and food and restrooms?

Cool. The argument is over, then.
Then we can argue about what we should value or something. Because the technological argument is over.

30,000 supercharging stalls in the world. 15,000 or so in the United States.
So, while you weren't reading, the superchargers tripled. They'll triple again while you're still not reading.

I can travel on a road trip anywhere in the United States without any concern of whether I'll be able to get there. It's 100% certain that I am covered. A few podunk places like near Glacier National Park or something might not accommodate me. lol.

I didn't even look up the stations before going TN to VT. It was that obvious it would be fine.

That article was from December 2021 so great if they've tripled in 5 months. They'll still need a million to meet expectations or you may find yourself in a long line to charge.

I haven't found myself in a long line to charge, because the vast majority of people simply charge at home. I supercharge maybe 10 times per year. And that's in like 3 or 4 drives. That's normal.

People have electricity at their houses and jobs and at hotels and all kinds of places that require 0 minutes from the owner's day.. I don't know if you knew that.

You guys really think people can't find electrons anywhere else?

 

[wilberforce15]

There is a supercharger station near an Aldi that I frequent. I've never seen that station more than 10% full. I've also never used it, or even thought of using it, despite that it's in the middle of all my driving and errands.

They're for road trips only.

I am on the last day of a road trip that has taken me from Mn. to Tx. to La. and back to Mn. I have yet to pull into any gas station (big or small) that has a bank of charging stations for EV’s. Are they hiding them around back by the dumpsters? No- I looked there too. Some of these stations have many many pumps that are all being used. I can just imagine what a cluster ———— it would be if every one was taking 15 - 20 minutes at the pump waiting for their EV to charge up.

 

[Thebrownblob]

Lol.

His infatuation was a car is quite humorous his whole worth is tied to it. Pretty funny.

Apparently the state of Texas can't.
Do you recall a recent ice storm that knocked out the electrical grid?

Have you extrapolated the effects of everyone plugging their EV in at the same time?

EV's are good for soccer mom's and grocery runs.

Why are you so obsessed with pimping EV's?
What's in it for you?

Reality helping.
