Cars and trucks suck but aren't there better EVs out there than Teslas?
Like didn't Ford make an F-150 Lightning electric truck? Don't Hyundai and Nissan make better electric cars?
Why ride in a known death trap?
Hybrids/full electrics aren't the best, but from a pure consoomer point of view, I have no idea why anyone would pick a Tesla. I have a 8 year old hybrid Volt. I was warned if I go north, the battery might suck. I still get nearly 40 miles of electric drive when its cold. It handles snow and ice pretty well. My dad (somewhat of a car freak) commented on how smooth and surprisingly powerful it is.
I have problems with it, but they're minor vs losing all braking power. And thats for a discontinued, out of date, middle of the road hybrid.
