I must revisit this post, it hits a problem I keep noticing."I usually bought gas at one of the very busy stations on the Bronx side of the Willis Ave or Third Ave Bridges. I'm sure those locations will have high speed chargers in a few years, if they don't already have them." Why are you limiting chargers to gas stations? There's electricity everywhere, put them somewhere USEFUL or good. What are you going to do, stop at a "gas statioN" and then stop at a burger king afterwards? That's dumb. Break the addicition. Move on. |

There's no way to verify your existence or if you were even born. I could be talking to a computer.I do remember this story from exactly 51 weeks ago. " Kanninen was stuck on I-95 for 14 hours in his Model 3 Standard Range as he watched ICE drivers burning gas to keep the cars running. Meanwhile, his Model 3 wasn't really "running" per se, but just using the battery pack to keep the cabin warm." |

You're a fuzzy math blind dude who hasn't proven to me that you really exist (keep up the insults as though you don't know my record on here when I see funny ones).Why are you arguing about your terribly shitty power grid as though it's something to be proud of? Average transmission line is 52 years old. Demonkkkrats refused to upgrade it to protect against the Iranians. But you're going to take a page out of the Cuban playbook, and tell us why the grid can't handle too many microwave ovens...I mean cars and how horrible...i mean unrealistic progress is. Again it's 1941. We're aruging over electricty? And your wattage math is way off. Glad I went to High School for that. |

There's no economically viable way to upgrade the grid to fulfill your and Biden's vision of Red Chinese-built EVs everywhere, certainly not without resorting to using our coal and oil resources to generate it and using low-grade Red Chinese steel to build it out of.What's your scientific background? If we get transmission up to the megawatts in high-voltage transmission lines, it certainly will start emitting ionizing radiation. You can't defy physics. Stop lying about what I'm saying. I said none of those things and you know it. |

There's no economically viable way to upgrade the grid to fulfill your and Biden's vision of Red Chinese-built EVs everywhere" Because we're so poor and in a depression, unlike Red China who can handle all the EV's they pump out....which is still less than Tesla. The Lefty Mr. Musk otoh is promising energy abundance without the upgrades you are claiming. Mainly, because your math is way off. Like anyone who is a fan of electric trains knows, electric motors are scores more efficient. I don't even use 300kwh on the car. The Central Air Conditioner (another thing that the grid isn't ready for according to the talking points) sucks up much more energy. |

Three things:- Some systems on some EVs are likely to have lower manufacturing process quality because they are still new. - Reporting bias: you don't read about gasoline powered cars going up in flames, but they do. - Probably some design tweaks are needed. If it's really true that battery performance degrades in cold weather, just heat up the battery compartment to 35 degrees F while you're heating up the much larger passenger compartment to 70 degrees. |

The reason you get a “feel of the road” is because you change the gears yourself, instead of having a mechanism do it for you. An EV only has the one gear. Pressing the gas just applies the appropriate power, it is much more responsive and smooth than anything that requires shifting. |
