Are you looking forward to getting a full electric vehicle?

In a couple more years, there will be a lot more options. There are a lot of pros(less parts to break), but the cons are very alarming.

Replacing the battery is crazy expensive, around $12-15K.
Range anxiety is real. 300 miles on a full charge and it takes 30 minutes to charge 80% at a supercharger station. Having access to a charge station when you need it could be worrisome.

I bet Toyota could make something similar to a Tesla Model 3 for cheaper and more reliable.

Here's Porsche Mission E to debut in 2019.

But aren't the batteries supposed to outlive you?

Driven a Tesla, it’s nice but forgetting to plug that thing in is a lot more likely than running out of gas. Just seems like a pain in the arse until they make some wireless charging pad like they have for phones now you could have as the floor of your garage

Will there a package that still allows you to roll coal? If not, then absolutely not.

Not until they make one I can charge overnight and then drive all day without a recharge. I live in a rural area and drive a lot of miles.

Not in my lifetime.

I’m also concerned about how stable they will be in an accident.

Not until charging it takes the same amount of time as filling up and there are a comparable amount of places to do so.

No. How am I supposed to roll coal out of my oversized straight pipe on my f250 on some Prius driving cuck after I drag my truck nuts all over him if I go electric?
