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

I can afford almost any car I want. I don’t think there’s any car I want that I’m willing to pay that much for it’s just a car
I don’t find value. But that’s me do you and that’s fine. You mistake us for caring that you like Teslas. We don’t we’re making fun of you because you have a unhealthy love affair with them.
You don't find value. That's great. Good for you.

That's cool that you don't want to spend 40k+ on a car.

The problem is when you all say such easily disprovable things about range, convenience, reliability, safety, cost, or government favor. This entire thread is you guys lying about that stuff.

I don’t hate that easily. I don’t even dislike EVs, I just don’t believe they are practical outside a very narrow niche right now. Is that reason enough for you to be so hateful and bullying? See? You don’t know me. ^^^sigh.
Your belief is founded on bad information that you have been corrected about. I don't care if you don't like them.
Impracticality is simply false. That's not debateable. The average car owner does 10-15k miles a year and a few road trips that don't even last a full day. And the vast majority of those have power at home they can use.
The average car owner in America wouldn't even need the supercharging network more than a few times per year. That's not debateable.
All of those people would spend less time fueling their EV than you do your gas car.

That's great. Most people cannot afford, or don't want to pay for, new cars or Teslas.

Don't hate those who can.
I don’t know why you hang out with us poor folk, all we want to do is wear our bibed overalls, drive our AMC gremlins down to the swap meet with mama ,and then head home to the double wide trailer later for some Lovin!

How come these new electric vehicles don't come with solar panels on the roofs ?
The roof square footage is pretty useless on the average car.

The Cybertruck will have it as an option, and even on a giant vehicle will only provide 15-25 miles of power a day.
On the average car, it would be more like 5 miles a day. Just not worth the effort or cost.

That, however, makes it perfect for long adventure treks and month-long truck camps in the desert :)

I was thinking along the lines of recharging the powerpack while the vehicle is sitting idle.
For owners who don't have charging stations handy.

80%+ of america has charging easily available at home or work. Recharging it at 5 miles a day in perfect sun would never be worth the cost to have them installed (and they're not easily or cheaply curved). It's expensive for almost no benefit for very few customers. That's why nobody has panels on their car.

The only people who have solar on their vehicles are van/RV life people who use battery regularly in remote locations. That's all it's good for. It has no other purpose.

The average car would need 1 charge a week or less. Almost everybody can do that at home or work. And those who can't, it's once a week. It's a non-issue.
