The "people will be stupid if they buy ICE" statement is exactly what keeps EV people and ICE people separated. I drive ICE right now because there is no one that is producing an EV pick-up in the US that will work on my farm. I have researched the possibility of converting my F250, but have not found the best solution that will not cost the price of another used ICE. I earn the kind of money that allows us to drive 15-35 year old vehicles. My wife is needing another vehicle and I compared a Ford Explorer with a Tesla Model X that would be smaller but still close to the Explorer. However, $48,000 compared to $82,000 will never cause me more than a split second of thought. Please remember some simple courtesies when posting. Everybody is not able to buy a new vehicle, let alone an EV. I am part of this forum to gain insight, and I would rather not be insulted.

They have brought EVs into the mainstream. Everything they have said they would do in their first mission statement has come to pass. Much of their 2nd mission statement is happening or will happen soon. If they say they have a million mile battery. I am betting they have such a battery. The future will change very soon for EVs. We will soon have EVs cheaper than ICEs and people will be stupid if they buy ICE (not that they aren't already if they have the money to buy EV). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
