That’s a ridiculous statement. You’d rather be under British anarchy who has actually owns the whole world. Who do you think all this money ends up going to besides our corrupt politicians and corrupt leaders the king and the queen of Britain have always owned the world they make all the decisions you’re dang lucky to have Elon waiting out the trash and where all our money is going. Do you even know how wealthy you would be if all your tax money wasn’t spent on stupid stuff and they’re stealing it and funding it through Ukraine maybe you need to go back and read your history books. I can’t believe how many people are so indoctrinated with lies. This is why you will never be a huge success because you don’t know what the heck’s going on and don’t tell me you are because if you were, you would know history and what’s going on today.

For many reasons, I would never consider purchasing an EV.

1. Batteries are subject to spontaneous combustion.

2. Range anxiety.

3. Takes too long to charge.

4. Tires wear out too quickly due to extreme weight and torque.

5. Very few mechanics know how to work on them.

6. Outrageous depreciation.

7. Bad for the environment due to mining of lithium, cobalt, along with other heavy metals and ultimate disposal issues relating to spent batteries.

8. Insurance rates are too high as compared to insurance rates of comparable ICE vehicles.

Check out this YouTuber called MGuy Australia whom makes a compelling argument against EV’s.

Hell no. I wouldn’t buy any brand new car, they all suck today. I’d get something that’s actually well built like a 10 year old Toyota or Honda

You are so right. With all our technology and they can't do any better than that. Give me a break, we had electric cars back in 1920's and 30's and they worked. They had longer battery life by far. They weren't heavy like these Teslas and I guess they lasted quite awhile.

In the 50's I saw one with a little old lady driving it in downtown LA. My aunt told me it was an old electric car.

No I would never have one if I have a choice.

Living in Alberta, Canada, not a chance. The cold, and routine travel out of the city, not a good mix. Maybe a hybrid if it’s mandated.

I would not own a Tesla at this time. I own the stock but until things are in place for the infrastructure, I will never own one. I love my 2002 Toyota 4Runner with 350,000 miles on it.

Everyone think of an EV like a big phone do you still have your Electric phone after 10 years? I doubt it. But a GAS car you can have for 10 or longer.

There’s no scientific evidence showing EMF radiation from an electric car as being an issue

Never, I'd rather have a horse, because that's what it's going to come down to.
