And that was from a standstill. Say Im already going 55 mph and floor it. The gear shifting ice has no chance. The acceleration on my Model S is insane.

I think I'm going to get one, too.

I figured it was a joke. I think the price of normal ICE cars are insane as well.

Don't be shocked if it ends up fitting...

Not as things currently sit.
EV ownership is akin to Fiber internet. If you don't live in a major metropolitan area, the structure just isn't there yet to support it. They aren't going to start plopping down charging stations in the North woods of Michigan any time soon. |

The bigger issue to me is if you frequently drive longish distances to go to the city to shop or whatever. |

The only thing, and I mean only thing that is superior about an ICE is how quick it is to just get gas on long trips.
Having an EV if you rarely take long trips is actually better as you never have to go to the gas station. But if they could ever figure out how to charge ur battery in less than 10 minutes fully it would be a game changer for EVs.

Now, I can go on most trips I'd make without issue and return home (<= 200 miles). If I head West or South, I can reach a major city in under 300 miles. That said, if I want to go to Detroit, I'm over 400 miles away. This means stopping and letting it charge fully at least once, which means somewhere in the sticks will need to be a 150 kWh rapid station to make it reasonable. Studies have shown these numbers to get worse though in cold weather, and we have 5 solid months of cold weather. AAA and Consumer Reports reported 41% and 50% loss of effective miles. That's not good. Now I'm looking at 5 hours of charging just for work and needing at least 2 charging stops on my way to Detroit, not to mention if I make some other normal 200 mile trips I may have to stop and recharge. My other concern is the strain on the electric grid, which could be far better in the US, as more and more people go electric. Rates will undoubtedly go up to support added infrastructure. There's alot more development needed. I love the idea of someday owning EV and support it, but it's just not the most reasonable choice here - yet. |

Ha. I love that you asked the question, but I'm certainly not in a place to own one. It was on a track in Colorado Springs. They have a place that lets you pay a couple hundred to ride around in a few super cars. Lots of fun.

Me too, unless a competitor’s electric truck makes more sense by the time I’m able to buy a Cybertruck.
