Skip ahead to the 13 minute mark if you're the impatient type.

They will be available in next few decades. Until then, you can always purchase a roll of special Tesla 250 mile extension cable. Just tell those at home not to unplug it while you are on the road.

Semi-specific stations? So far only Pepsi has them as only Pepsi has the semi-trucks.

Didn't have to wait long, didja?

The power grid wont fail, but charging those ev's will get harder before it gets better.

Right now electric utilities are having a hard time keeping up with normal demand for new transformer installations. There is a huge shortage of transformers across the industry and many attribute that shortage to the raw materials used in battery production. I deal with that fact on a daily basis. It is slightly better than in past months, but still very far behind the normal production numbers of transformers pre-ev.


So by all means, buy your ev if you want one. But I will stick with my gas guzzling fume emitting raw power fossil fueled mode of transportation for years to come.

The ev noise is like most other noise pushed to the front page..

It distracts the average joe who doesn't realize they are being manipulated

Like the "news" today...

Some are so excited by it they are blind to the fall of the us dollar from reserve status by half the globe and what that means to the average American living paycheck to paycheck while maxing out their credit cards as to not lower their standard of living..

Are ev's a big thing in Venezuela?

Electric vehicles in general...trucks and cars...

You can throw solar power and how it will save the planet from climate change extinction into that distraction bag..

It's all just to distraction from the real issues...you know the ones we can't discuss here

Not a conspiracy just a redirection of wealth and power under the pretense it MUST be done to save rhe planet

And there is a very nice control factor not currently present in our fossil fuel vehicles imo
