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

Wow, the ignorance.

The average driver would barely need one full charge per week.

The maintenance schedule on EVs is wipers and tires. And that's pretty much it forever. Everything about them is more convenient and easier for almost everybody.
And yet they require more than three times the silver plus a lot more copper than an ICE car. Where does it all come from?

Wow the ignorance....back at ya.

You an electrician?

Know a friend who replaced the batteries on his Prius....yeah they wear out.

I fill up my vehicle about every 4 days maybe 5....true but it gets twice the the range as most EV's. Don't have to go to Amazon or anything else and put on my house......again....apartment dwellers whatever.....lot's of those...gonna run an extension cord out of the 3rd story window?LOLOLOL. 99%.......how about convenience stores.....emphasizing the "convenience" part. They all have gas pumps....wonder why......

I'm not sure about average drivers. We live in a big wide open state. Lot's of commute time.

Yeah ok on what you know about EV maintenance.....they have bearings and all the rest. Cannot wait for you average Joe clowns to go poking around in those electrical bays.....cannot wait.

Like I phones....poof get another.....at $44k......LOLOLOL.

BTW, you make it sound like these cars will go into perpetuity....they will not. Especially when the charging systems become obsolete......and you think a flash update will keep you rolling.....see, you still fill up a model T the same way you did in 1908.

Allow me to explain capitalism to a whole bunch of Republicans who don't get it.

When there is unmet demand and willingness to pay for a thing, then profit seeking companies will invest in technology or infrastructure so that they can meet that demand.

If people need silver and price goes up, we find more silver.

This is only hard for you because you don't want it to work.

Not enough there. Possibly enough copper, but definitely not enough silver. The future appears to be mass transportation, not electric cars for everyone. The wealthy will still have their own cars though.
Nope. Not like in the movies.

Consider: Roads are paid for by hundreds of millions of users. The wealthy won't have enough money to maintain roads.....that is unsustainable. Gas taxes.....the left is trying real hard to get rid of it. Now as less and less folks can afford cars and taxes....the roads will go into disrepair. Trucking well......whole other subject......road use taxes per mile are the future....think of what that will do to consumer costs.....never mentioning the loss of freedom to move at will.....

I can see the "wealthy" having flying personal transportation.....but not in the communist vision of the current Democrat Party.

There isn't sufficient demand. Needs are only supplied when demand exists.

Demand doesn't exist. Demand means a sufficient number of buyers who actually have the money and are willing to pay it for the service. You don't have that. That's why they've all failed here.

Autopilot is already safer than you with no driver at all. And that steering wheel is unlikely to be in mass production.

But you keep hyperventilating over pretend issues, and I'll keep getting TSLA gains. Deal?
This is freaking LAUGHABLELOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Can't wait for the horrible accidents in which a human couldn't intervene if their life depended on it.....(which it will).

That's simply not so. Most silver today is produced as a byproduct of mining other metals, particularly copper. Large stand alone silver deposits are almost non existent today. The process for finding and mining new silver deposits is much much more difficult than finding oil. And the current demand is eating up what is being produced now. There's simply not enough silver in the world to electrify all cars. Not even half of all cars. If the world intends to completely get rid of ICE cars then personal vehicle transportation will become the toys of the wealthy. You're much more likely to get the masses on electric bikes than in electric cars. Public transportation will have to greatly increase. It's not a matter of what anyone wants. It's a matter of an insurmountable lack of supply. Unless they come up with an alternative fuel source like hydrogen that meets clean air standards and is in plentiful supply then there's no viable alternative to ICE cars that will allow the masses to own cars.
