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

OK never mind apparently it is difficult for some people to be reasonable lol. Car and driver magazine more liars out to besmirch Tesla.
I didn't say they lied. I'm sure the story is true. I'm sure Tesla's maintenance costs more when it's done. And I'm sure that fixing the listed types of issues is more common with 2019 Teslas.

No problem.

But that's not what reliability is.

I've not been to a mechanic for any reason in 2 years. No oil changes. No filter changes. That's reliability.
Lock it in a barn for 20 years, and it will work just fine. That's reliability.

That’s amazing! Now I’m going to go get in my daughters 2002 Corolla that I bought in 2003 that has 257,000 miles on it gets close to 40 miles a gallon and I’ve only put brake pads a starter and oil changes in almost 20 years🤷‍♂️

I've also not said that it's cheaper to own or operate than a good used combustion car. I've not said everyone should buy one. I've not said it's right for everyone or even most people right now.

You're arguing against a figment of your imagination.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

With all the new EVs coming out now from different manufacturers, I predict fires, failures and recalls. Meanwhile, my Stone Age gas powered car keeps rolling along. If I need to refuel, it takes 5 minutes to do, and I’m off for another 350 miles. Simple. Gas stations everywhere. Still lookin for all those charging stations.

So basically it’s no more reliable definitely not cheaper but everyone should buy it? You’re really a very poor salesman

Does your house have electricity? lol.
EV's have a much lower rate of fires than combustion cars, as I've already documented.

I can be ready for the next 350 miles without visiting a gas station at all. And be ready for it every single day with no stops or trips.

If it was that good, it would be obvious. The fact that they’re trying to shove it down are throats says it all. It isn’t a practical vehicle for most people. 15 minute charge indeed. Lol. How long will the wait be to use the charger? Lol

There is no wait to use the charger. I'm the only one allowed to use the charger. Anybody else is trespassing and might get shot.
It is that good, and it is that obvious, which is why sales are doubling annually despite the premium price point.

Do you know the old adage a fool and his money? Sounds like something a car dealer would say, hey these things are selling like hotcakes you better get in now!

I don’t recall a gas powered car catching fire on its own. Of all the cars I’ve owned, my family and friends have owned, not one has caught fire. Where’s your evidence?

I’ll give you an update on the electric vehicle I drive today I think it will be called a club car golf course
That's cool. Have a great round.
How many times a year does that golf cart need an oil and filter change? How many times has its one-gear transmission broken?

Oh, that's right. EV's are inherently more reliable.
