We know, you love your Tesla. Some of us don't have that disposable income to spend on a vehicle like that. So, you don't go to a gas station, big deal. You are still "refueling " it every day. I stop at the gas station once a week. It still won't work for me; it won't pull my travel trailer. I don't see many charging stations on the way up north in Michigan. Your Tesla may be faster but like I said before, it is ugly. I couldn't drive a vehicle if I hate the way it looks, no matter how fast it is. There is still not enough infrastructure to support widespread EV use. When everybody in a neighborhood decides to charge at once, what happens then? I talked to some power company workers, and they have some good stories about the problems and the inadequacies of the grid. You early adopters can have them. We all don't hate EV's, we don't want them shoved down our throats and then telling us it is the solution to global warming. Strip mining a 3rd world country is not very green. Most of the rare earth minerals needed have to be bought from our enemies. Most electricity in the U.S. is still made by fossil fuel contrary to what most people are led to believe. In my part of Michigan, DTE, our electricity supplier, states on their website that they produce electricity using 67% fossil fuels.

I didn't know that Tesla's were vulnerable to theft....
“Smart” keys are causing auto thefts to skyrocket, and we have to pay for it.

I'm selling my stupid Tesla Cybertruck as prices are crashing, but Carmax refused to make an offer?
