  1. ​ @henryshen1156 Have you looked at what it costs to replace your battery?

  2.  @jesan733  Tesla batteries are only warrantied for 8 years or 120,000-150,000 miles. That means if you have to replace outside of those terms, you're looking at $17,000-$20,000. Also, what are the long-term EMF effects on people inside the vehicle?

  3. ​ @daniele4568  US: 334 million people, temperate zone with tropics in the South, colder regions in the North Midwest and New England cover 3.1 million square miles, not including Alaska. Norway: 5.4 million population 148,729 square miles Arctic and sub-arctic region. The Western Coast of Alaska is the closest comparison you could make geographically, with a bit smaller population than Minnesota. There are no real logical comparisons between Norway and the US. Norway also relies heavily on the US for its defense as a people, and has done so for about 70 years.

  4. ​ @RyanNovaktheFirst Charge stops make you more vulnerable to opportunistic thieves and murderers who predate on people at known locations.

  5.  @daniele4568  What if the whole premise for EVs is fundamentally flawed? (It is.)

  6. ​ @AWAVAVA Woah. You're missing a decimal on the $650 Trillion/10yrs. It should be $6.5 Trillion. Over that same period of time, we'll be paying $14 Trillion for Medicare in taxes, just for reference.

  7.  @RyanNovaktheFirst  I've driven across the US so many times, I lost count. In one particular period of just 6 months, I drove from NC to CA to NC 6 times. I had 2 carjacking attempts in NC, which I shut down pretty fast just by presentation of my handgun. I live in a very safe State and County now, but I still plan every stop I make as if someone is going to attempt to carjack or mug me. I plan and prepare just in case, like having a fire plan for my kitchen, grill, house, or car engine. If you are going about life oblivious to these threats, then you're merely a victim who just hasn't been hit yet, especially if you travel as much as I have on the road.
