@warntheidiotmasses7114 Tesla doesn't reakly have the whole " capacity reduced by half in the winter" problems as their battery management system is top notch. If other EV manufacturer do not have the same capability then it would mean that Tesla are better option in colder climates.

@warntheidiotmasses7114 "And one mishap and the insurance companies will not insure them" That's why Tesla is issuing their own insurance. Again, unless other companies with self driving tech offer the same protection, they will be at a severe disadvantage compared to Tesla. You said lots of thing that are wrong (and easily proven wron by simple google search ) such as Tesla having low resale value (Tesla actually have very good resale values) but other poster responding to you have already refuted that. 'm just going to post a that haven't been posted by anyone else. Oh, I would like tp point out that comparing current day EV to the ones that are around 100 years ago is like comparing a biplane to a jet powered plane : they are almost nothing in common. You should stop repeating such fallacy.

@warntheidiotmasses7114 "Scotty Kilmer reported a customer with a 50% loss after just driving the car for 2 years." For what ? A Nissan Leaff? I haven' heard a single real case with Tesla losing that much range in two years. In fact I don't thin there is single case of Tesla losing that much range even for the oldest Tesla "And you think Tesla is going to keep insuring Dad's who let junior drive his 0 to 60 in 3 second Tesla into little old ladies crossing the road? " They would probably do what all insurance companies do: raise the premium or deny insurance to those with high risk. " Electric cars never took off because electric batteries are crap in cold weather. " This is only true for extremely cheap , poorly manufactured BEV like ones that were sold in droves in China. Again, this is false for EV like Tesla. Their battery management (which includes temperature control means ) that they don't ' lose much range even in colder climate. You are spouting misinformation. "And self driving cars will never become mainstream. Noone cares. No one wants one. " That literally make no sense. To most people driving a car isn't a exhilarating experience , it chore they tolerated to get form point A to B. If there exist a product that would "chauffer" them while they focused on other activities instead of driving , most deriver today would take them in an intent. That is if the price and capability of such function is acceptable (neither in the the case right now).,that is. "Or I can just buy a 10 year old Jeep Cherokee and not care. " Doesn't ' t really apply to people who would buy a an EV.
