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

Every point you’re making is really moot until my wife tells me she wants one, until then we don’t got one!

OK then you admit it I’m right it’s a really expensive fancy golf cart around town grocery getter. Oh And he also has some very expensive German sports cars guess which one he takes out when he wants to show off…. It’s not the Tesla

No, it's perfectly adequate for just about everybody,
My 15 hour trip turns into 16 hours in my Tesla. That's a stupid, silly difference nobody should care about if you do it a few times per year.

If you do it a few times per week, it matters a whole lot.
So, your friend is in the very small percentage of people for whom it matters.

That's pathetic and actually quite sad.

Well if you’re not in the same boat it’s also pathetic and sad because when the wife’s happy everyone’s happy.

If the happiness of the home depends on how much the wife is given whatever she wants, you have a rotten woman and a miserable, beaten down man.
When my wife is unhappy, she puts on her big girl face and doesn't make the rest of us unhappy. Then she finds something to be happy about. Then we all move on.

That's because my wife is an adult.

In my small coastal town , there are a few Teslas but they belong to the very rich and have home charging stations.
There are no public charging stations here or the next big city across our town line.
( we only have a single land connection point )

It's amazing how Tesla doesn't put things where they aren't needed.

Well if you knew my wife she never wants anything. Spending $50-$100,000 on a car is most likely not in her most desired wish list.

"Happy Wife, Happy Life" is the motto of everyone who has an obnoxious, entitled toddler as a wife.

Yes, you already mentioned that you want cheap cars. That's why I told you to buy gas.

Who are all these people who want expensive ones? That also are according to you, and my friend not convenient if you want to go on long trips? You’ve just eliminated about 75-85% of the population. So you prove my point again. Yes we know you want one. But you don’t count because you’re not looking for value nor versatility. Neither is my friend he could care less about value. His biggest issue is which garage door to open to pull one of his many cars out lol.

They're perfectly convenient for long trips. The small difference in road trips matters only to people who take them regularly, which is a very small number.

I drive more than the average driver, and I do 3 to 6 trips of 5 to 15 hours per year. That's WAY more than the average driver. 25k miles a year or so.

And I don't feel remotely inhibited by the EV. In fact, it's nice to only have to "fill up" on road trips. No more weekly gas stops or regular oil changes or other maintenance.

And all this is at the average price of a new car. Tesla sells plenty of things in the average new car price range.
Who are these people? Well, last year it was a million people. This year it will be two million people. The next year it will be four.

All of those are answered or solved, but time works things out.

It's the fastest expansion in automotive history for a type of vehicle, building at breakneck pace, and you're rolling your eyes because it hasn't taken over it. It's all as good as done.

People in high rises rarely own cars. People who street park rarely drive far, which means they would use a public charger far less than once per week. And they're the minority. Most people can power where they park for the night.
You're throwing every attempted exception out as some sort of proof.
Meanwhile Tesla sales continue doubling every year, unabated. You'll soon tell me why selling 10 million Teslas in a year doesn't mean anything.

Don't know where you live but most apartment complexes where I live are two or three stories max. And they do own cars. So in general someone who owns his own home and has a decent income might consider a Tesla. Otherwise it's problematic.

The word "apartment" didn't even appear in my post. I specifically said "high-rises."
65% of people own homes. Most of the rest don't drive far enough to need a charge more than once per week. Usually much less.

It's a non-issue for just about everyone.

First rule of marriage!

In every wedding I've played a part, my parting advice to the groom is to never, ever let his wife's emotional state determine the happiness of the home.

That's straight up terrorism. "If I'm not happy, nobody can be!" - hello, Mrs. Toddler.

So the guy who has an emotional attachment to a company and their product is giving marriage advice? This is Rich.

Tesla could go bankrupt tomorrow, and I am unaffected, financially or otherwise.
