Tesla's are Thermomix for tech bros.
I mean Model 3 is also now literally the #1 bestselling car in the entire world
Me when I lie on the internet
I always wanted a Tesla. I'm now in a position I could buy one comfortably, but now I have a spine and won't.
IMHO Tesla is too unreliable. There are enough EVs available that are more reliable (and cheaper).
This is why BEVs are fundamentally just a fad. It is a toy for rich white men and little else. It is fundamentally too expensive for normal people. There not even the most important car in the household, and is usually just the second car.
Do you have anything to support this? EVs are increasing share of the market so when do you estimate that will end? Do you also think EVs are a fad in China?
In the 90's you could've written an equally true headline replacing "Tesla owners" with "PC owners". It's not an indication that BEV's are a fad, it's an indication that wealth inequality and sexism continues to this day.
Do you work in the fossil fuel or hydrogen industry?
In years past, I toyed with the idea of getting a Tesla, but they were always too pricy for me. As I'm approaching 10 years on my current vehicle and have a 50+ mile one-way commute for the first time in 15 years (one day a week, but still...), I'm wondering if replacement will be sooner or later. I'd like to go EV or at least hybrid, but I know that it won't be a Tesla in any event.
I did have a coworker several years ago who imported a Honda Fit EV from California. He was not exactly happy in the winter when he had to trade heat for distance. I imagine things are better with newer models.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
