Sounds like the GM unions got their boy back in office. Been a while since cash for clunkers, so they needed to get paid.

I'm just picturing having to evacuate Katrina style, and being stuck in contraflow traffic for 9+ hours.

This is not possible.
You cannot manufacture that many batteries.
We do not have the power generation to power all these batteries.
This is just silly.

Aren’t they dead last for initial quality?
But is it the same exact product as it was in 2008? There has been ZERO improvements in 14 years? If that were true, would people even be buying Tesla cars? Why would the car still be available ?

No current electric vehicle can make it across all of Texas on a single charge.
Also, think about how far the technology has come in just the last 10 years, why would you assume it will be exactly the same 15 years from now?

I doubt I will be buying anymore vehicles by then, so I'm good.
Most people will utilize an uber like app by then to summon driverless cars wherever they want to go. I imagine vehicle ownership will drop.

It only takes you 5 minutes to fill your vehicle vs a 1hr + full charge at a supercharging station
Not 1 hour.
5 minutes to tank up, 15 minutes to charge up.
Now think about how long that may be 15 years from now...

think about a place like Buc-ee’s where the people have to stay at a pump for 30 minutes in order to “fill up.” Absolute nightmare

They'd better figure out battery life.

I'm still waiting on the flying cars that they promised that everyone would have by now.

Zero but it’s a five minute fill up and you’re on the road.
The power infrastructure needs a massive overhaul (think trillions) in order to facilitate an entire electric fleet to happen in the United States for those 5 minute fill ups to happen and what is going to power that entire grid?

First Tesla was delivered 02/2008, that’s 13 years ago. What has changed in that time that makes you think this will work in 14 years

Sorry, but no battery can outperform a diesel motor for longevity and torque. Not to mention, replacement batteries for hybrids are around $5000 and nearly double that for a full electric car. You have to replace them every 80,000 to 100,000 miles. Ridiculous.

When they restrict travel to only those with the proper authorization, you won't have to worry about it.

Buc-ees might have been a bad example since they have the capacity with 100+ pumps to allow for people to stay on the pumps for that long. A better example would be those smaller gas stations you find in rural areas (between major cities) that only have 4 or 6 pumps.

What an epic frickin disaster that would be. These people are run by complete retards
The environmental impact of everyone driving electric with the batteries would insane

After a major hurricane or major ice storm, how will folks charge up?
If you live in a very rural area, yes this could be an issue.
Anywhere else and you likely have at least 1 supercharger nearby and dozens upon dozens of standalone chargers you can use.
There's obviously examples of hurricanes where your house may lose power for, say, a couple of weeks, but it's not like every single business in a 20 or so minute radius of you will also be without power for that long. Even in the recent Lafayette hurricanes where some people went without power for over a month, the supercharging station there as well as many other destination chargers weren't all out for a month as well.
In short, there are plenty of places to get a charge.
