Fisherman looking to lighten their boats switched to Lithium.

They say they are great if you live in warm environments.

Think about how disengenious your Federal government is when they know this information, yet still promote shifting the mandate toward this.

what's scary is that of all the EV's on the market, Tesla's reliability and charging system is light years ahead of the competitors.

i wonder how bad it is for Ford and GM EV's?

i can understand having an EV as a 3rd vehicle. but not everyone can afford that.

Makes you wonder when the MSM will go after, Chevy, Toyota, Ford, et al EVs?

... and why they're so intent at trying to discredit Elon's Tesla.

Tell me about it. I’ve been trying to offload my model X and no one wants it. At least not for any reasonable price.

Saying there’s a market for EVs is generous


Tesla Model Y is the #1 selling car in America.

You got stuck with a car that Tesla cut the price by $40k in a year. It's not the market that has an unreasonable price for your car, it's you.

“ i can understand having an EV as a 3rd vehicle”

I don’t. This seems gluttonous and counterintuitive to why green, rich liberals say they are buying them . It’s a really expensive virtue signal. If you actually want to help the planet, stop being a consumer slave and buying crap you don’t need

Teslas are significantly better in the cold than other EVs. This story seems to be as much about Tesla Charging Stations though.

Nothing. No juice. Still on zero percent," Tyler Beard, who had been trying to recharge his Tesla at an Oak Brook, Illinois Tesla supercharging station since Sunday afternoon, told the news outlet. “And this is like three hours being out here after being out here three hours yesterday."

They must use YETIs as a battery compartment. Always ice cold.

Why would someone own an electric vehicle?

Why would someone live in Chicago?

Only idiots support this EV Movement, and think they are cool for doing it.

Make sure to Get a robot driverless One. . And when society goes to shite, look in the mirror.

Why in the world would anyone buy it as a third vehicle unless they use it like a overpriced golf cart

Maybe they could find a way to charge EVs with the snobbish air of superiority of their owners?

Teslas, Immigrants, and shot up brothas. That is a helluva frozen combination Chicago has.

No issue at all with this, perfect use case scenario for it. Ridiculous that the govt expects to completely replace ICE vehicles however.


The solution is hybrids. There are a lot of people who drive less than 25 miles a day and the hybrid would handle that. But if you need to take a trip or have to deal with extreme cold you are not left sitting on the side of the road.

Hybrid would be best of both worlds.
