That's called a Patriot Tax. You're welcome.

You'll be surprised how rapidly this falls.

a provocative thought..do high gas prices drive people back to Tesla and elon musk??

 

[Lindemann]

I have a flex fuel vehicle that can take E-85 and I've been using a lot of it lately. $1.89 for E-85 here in west central Iowa. My mileage drops about 20% but still a bargain. Thank you farm subsidies I guess.

Hell no. If i travel I don't want to have to figure out where to stop every 2-3 hrs to spend 1/2 hr charging the batteries.

 

[fskillet]

Yeah but inflation got to 9% under Jeffrey Brandon and the autopen signed lots of things that brought sharia law to my midwest diner

It’s not official unless you also make sure to say they have low-T.

There are 8 EVs available right now with an estimated range at full charge over 400 miles. The top one (Lucid Air) has a range of over 500 miles and charges another 200 miles in 12 minutes.

Now all of that is in perfect conditions without hills to climb so its not quite as rosy as that. Still, gone are the days when you charge every two hours. You can quite easily expect to go 4 hours at 80 miles/hour. Take a quick bio and food break, then go another 2-3 hours.

Any farther than that and people are often flying. In less than 5 years I expect EVs will have eliminated the range issue for 99.99% of us.

Midwesterners will look at a 12 hour drive and be like "ya, let's do that instead of flying."

Yeah I suppose. I’ve been in Chicago since I left the U of I so maybe I’m out of touch. The benefits of almost never having to use a connecting flight to go from A to B.

Agree 100%. The hate on EVs is crazy. I have the same Tesla Model as you - freaking love it. Insanely fun to drive, have taken it on road trips, easily over 3hrs before having to charge. The supercharger infra is game changing.

Once you go EV, you never go back. It drives that much better.
