EV owners of today and tomorrow

So then the Corolla was the most sold car in the world... Was it the most superior in almost every metric? . I mean the best selling cars through the past five decades have been pretty average cars to be honest. That designation really doesn't equate to "superior".
It also accomplished it without large government tax incentives direct to buyers. It would be interesting to know what the numbers would be like without the subsidy.

It’s a bit like saying bud light is better than a real beer because they sell more of it.

That is a really good analogy! Especcially considering the many metro type customers Budlight was trying to market to a year or two ago.....and many of the " metro" early adopters customers of EVs

It's not even close to being "a bit like". I've drank many types of beer.
People are spending a lot more money on a Y than on crappy light beer and buy the Y because in their experience it IS the most superior.
And some of the ignormauses that are responding on this thread, actually OWNED an EV, they would realize how superior an EV is to an ICE.

We wouldn't expect anything less from ya Trad. oh and not that it matters but I am sure many of us spend $20,000 in 10 yrs on beer.

Uh oh to the EV haters on this thread.
Kablam!
More and more people moving from the "horse and buggy" to the future. Sure is nice not having to worry about oil changes, transmission issues, having to stop at a gas station to fuel.

No you only need to worry about range issues... or..... . Will I have a place to charge if we visit them relatives ....., we best take the ICE truck if we are towing boat and 4 of us going ....and honey did you plug in the car .....and darn it another software download. .... so the 5 minutes every two weeks to stop at a gas station is no big deal, and transmisssion issues are very very rare and an oil change takes 15 minutes, heck you spend that searching for a place to charge when you plan an out of state trip. ... hmmmm

Sure is nice to just feel superior while owning 2 EV's. That is worth the price of the EV's itself!
