Your statement is well said - for the present time. But in the near
future, with a battery that is substantially cheaper, the "stupid"
statement might apply to a pretty broad sector where as now it applies
only to those who can pay somewhat more and need the kind of vehicles
produced.
In your case, Geroge, you might look at a Tesla Y. It's about $54K +
local taxes, thus a lot cheaper than the X. Has 300+ miles range. Good
interior storage space, though I don't know how it compares to an
Explorer.

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.

This sounds great IF IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS. Still, I have some trouble
seeing such a gigantic cycle life increase as a significant advantage
for the typical EV owner.
And I would NOT bet against Tesla. 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).
