Now that Musk is Hitler, the leftists over at Hacker News are allowed to tell the truth about their electric cars' ranges:

Suddenly libs have dropped all pretense of fighting climate change by driving Teslas, because it's no longer politically fashionable.

Meanwhile, I have consistent beliefs that aren't determined by I Support The Latest Thing and I will stick to NOT buying those lithium fire death traps that don't even have a 200-mile range in real-world conditions.

Nah, the Dems will pivot towards support removing Chinese tariffs on them so that China can flood the US with their shitty ass Chinese EVs, or even encourage people to illegally import them in mass to the US. If that Xiaomi SU7 Ultra track crash video proves something, the Dems see those EVs as mobile missiles to run over and kill Republicans in mass, like the recent crowd runover attacks in China.

It is pretty neat how the left are perfectly fine giving up on EVs (which laws still say will be the only cars you're allowed to buy in ten years or less) all because of Musk's personal beliefs. Musk should have waited until next year to "rally" the GOP into buying a tesla. Maybe have some stupid "america!" edition of a Tesla with red-white-blue colors. him and donald folding this early is sus

. You'll not charge to 100% at a 'fast' charger as that last 20% will take eons

also don't you pay for fast chargers? like its the equivalent of $5 a gallon or something insane like that. Beyond that your average car from the last decade can hit 250k very easily, especially your average car that costs 40k like a cheap tesla. Meanwhile its still a huge accomplishment for a tesla to hit that many miles.

In California the prices for home charging are also huge but where I am, yes, fast charging is expensive.
Take $0.60/kWh and my car, which gets 2.1mi/kWh (which is really poor, but it is a giant not-Tesla truck)

I'm going to ignore the MPGe BS.

That's $0.28/mi. My old truck got 27MPG on Diesel, so using that comparison would be $7.56/gallon.

On the other hand when I charge at home it's $0.05/mile or about $1.35/gallon.

And I've mentioned this before but it will pay for itself in about 500,000 miles, as long as I can mostly avoid fast chargers and charge at home.

My 1999 Camry has less then 500,000 miles (like 700k in kilometres last I checked) and it's had three or four owners before me. Does your cost calculation account for having to replace the battery after 20 years or so?

According to the search AI the average american drives 14,250 miles in a year, and that factors in a mix of highway driving. That would be 35 years, possibly longer if you mostly do city driving.
there's only 5 electric trucks on the market right now. The Rivian, the Ford, the ram, and 2 from the GMC umbrella. None of these I would expect to last 35 years

I hope this is the ultimate ploy to end electric cars and then Tesla gets nationalized and renamed to American Motors, Inc.

The real question is whether he accounted for the cost of an EV turning you gay with AIDS, requiring you to go on Truvada to stay alive.

Only about 2 weeks after the launch of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, someone crashed one while on-track:

It's being claimed that it was user error for braking too late, but due to the normal Xiaomi SU7 having issues with brake fade while tracking with it, maybe the Ultra's brakes may not be up to the task of track use either.

Are the brakes manual or go through a central PC that can lag massively?
