Don't care about the electric cars, have absolutely no interest at all in them. They don't really work around here anyway. Living in the Arizona desert with towns spread 100 miles apart with no charging stations in between they really don't make a lot of sense unless you live your life putting around town close to home. And who wants to sit around for hours charging a vehicle when I can fill one with gas in 2 minutes?? Want a faster charge? You pay more for it too and it still takes longer than filling my tank. This chit ain't free ya know....... Anyone see the electric truck reviews and how they fell way short? Especially towing. They don't go very far at all. Pretty much useless.

Have seen more than one home burn down with those charging stations too. Even an instance where a guy that I think worked with my father if I remember correctly, he torched his tesla because they wouldn't cover the batteries while the car was still under warranty and wanted to stick him with a $30,000 battery bill. Can't sell the car like that and who wants to spend that much money on batteries. Yeah no thanks. All those Tesla lovers will drop those cars like a bad habit when they find out what those batteries will cost them. Millennials think this is a new concept and don't realize this was tried in the early 1900's too. Talk about not having an electric grid to support it......LOL There are a couple of those that occasionally show up at the local car shows. Neat history but that's about it.

I've got some funny stories with tesla run ins on the road too.

Actually I’ve stated in multiple posts I dint think this way because I think it’s green . Has nothing to do with it for me. It’s not green at all stated that already. So you actually agree with me as well .
I like it because it’s the baddest azz car I’ve ever owned
