You have your own gas pumps at your homes? Interesting.
I know someone with a 200 gal tank at their home, and someone else that has a 250 gal tank for their boats.

Like a battery post?

I don’t hate EVs, I hate to subsidize them for rich SOBs.

Will the cost of new batteries render used EVs obsolete until the price drastically comes down?
No. Degraded batteries still have a ton of value and there’s a developing market. That salvage value will make the replace unit quite a bit more affordable. The market is really just waiting for batteries to hit replacement cycles at scale, which just isn’t really happening yet.

Did your husband beat you home to the charger again?

Did you buy an EV and now trying to make yourself feel good about it?

I don't know which is worse, the posters who constantly spew bullshite about EVs or the three or four miserable fricks who feel as though, for whatever reason, they must constantly defend their choice in vehicle.
The whole thing is weird.

There’s charging stations in public.
Yep, I can imagine those being more contentious than gas stations, given how long it takes to charge.
Still, the reality is that gas stations are shitholes. Not clean. Not terribly safe. You have to listen to some jackass with his no-talent hip hop rattling the entire place, get a contact high from 2nd hand skunk weed, etc.
...I don't have an electric car, but my garage is wired for one. Because plugging it in in my own garage will sure as hell beat a visit to the gas station.

You know how insecure you look spending all this time putting that post together. Wow

Wait, do you think people don’t/won’t fight over charging stations? Especially since they are much more scarce than gas pumps and take waaayyy longer?
If somebody who owned an oil company wanted to destroy the ev market he could give like 100 evs away to "the usual suspects" that give gas stations a bad reputation
it wouldn't be hard to find them since they drive altimas now

I do think the used market for EV vehicles is going to be interesting once the first gen begins to be replaced. Will the cost of new batteries render used EVs obsolete until the price drastically comes down?
Already happening.

Tesla has an 8year/150k mile warranty on their batteries.
Yeah, it would really suck after the 8 years are up.
Owner has to buy new battery after current one dies and he gets locked out.

I am not a "f250 vehicle poor baws" but I think before anyone buys into the whole EV bullshite needs to do more homework.
I am referencing to one book that was published 14 years ago, Superfreakanomics, so I am sure each person has a certain amount of credit the give the Freakanomics people, but based on other stuff I have read it makes sense.
In summary, all of these things that are done to "save the environment, including EVs is all done to reduce 2% of the emissions humans contribute to and can control, but to even impact that 2% every country in the world would have to take extreme measures. So that leads to the question "does it benefit humans to cut out everything that needs to be cut out in order to help impact 2%?"
I've said this before, but it touches on it in Superfreakanomics. There have been a lot of people who has invested in all of these "green" companies (Al Gore being one of course). So I think its a topic worth discussing. And now we have an OP trying to justify EVs by posting 3 situations that happened at the gas pumps (and now that I think about it, I think all three seemed to take place at night, maybe not)..

I've replaced the tires on both my Model X and my wife's Model Y and it wasn't an issue as you describe. There's official OEM tires and there's also regular tires you can put on there and it works just fine. They're tires.
They were probably cheaper than the tires for her boyfriend's F150.

I would walk or ride a bike before I got an EV.

As a fellow Tesla owner, I’m asking you to please stop. This is embarrassing.
