I personally regard these EVS as really, really nice golf carts.

You got to admit though - the Tesla Y has excellent seats, the softest leather I have seen, better than Lexus anyday.

I am pulling the trigger on one soon - hopefully.

Tesla is an expensive toy. I'll buy a Chinese EV once it accesses the US market. The California governor, Newsom, went to China and brought back two Chinese EVs.

Tesla 3's are selling for mid to high 30's in US, and high 40's well equipped. Any EV will cost that much today, even Chinese ones. New version of Tesla 3 is called "Highland". Zero to 60 MPH in 3 seconds.

Plus Chinese EVs (or even other EVs made in the US with Chinese batteries) will not get you any special rebates. The US govt. is dead set to prevent entry of Chinese EVs in US market. :-(

America is not yet ready to go full EV. The necessary infrastructure is not yet there. We have to wait. Of course, EVs are the future, but without Tesla.

The infrastructure isn't there for those who don't have a simple 3-pronged electrical outlet access where they live...

which is only like 20% of the US population. The vast majority of EV owners charge at home making the need for public chargers less of a requirement than it is for other countries. Public charging is critical for cheaper cars which have very very limited ranges or for 200+ mile cars like Tesla when people take long road trips. The Tesla supercharger placement is focused mostly on highway rest stops to handle these cases.

I have a 2023 Tesla Model Y and charge at home.

Well the Tesla Model 3 started being mass produced in 2017 and while there are stories about Uber drivers seeing huge range decreases (likely from close to 100% high voltage supercharger usage) in general their isn't much chatter from normal consumers (who primarily use low voltage home charging) seeing a drastic decrease.

I have dozens of friends who own Tesla Y's and 3's. They all charge at home. You hop on the freeway in LA westside, over 30% of the cars will be these.
