General vehicle thread

Why do people still assume a certain type of person owns EV cars? Are you really that worried about what others think of you?

Don?t get too wound up. Perhaps my post was meant to be taken in jest.

Honestly, my main reason for having zero interest in an electric vehicle at this time is the range.

While it isn?t something I do regularly, I do occasionally make trips back to the Houston area and like to drive straight there without stops (other than for fuel or the occasional bathroom break).

Once there is an electric vehicle that will go over a thousand miles without needing a charge and it?s priced comparable to similar internal combustion vehicles maybe I?ll test drive one.

Until that day I?ll continue to support big oil and keep destroying the environment.

Who says I'm wound up? I hear this a lot and I don't tend to meet any of the qualities that most assume drive EVs.

As far as your needs go, if you drive over 13 hours nonstop then an EV isn't for you. Period. You need some sort of Mad Max Suburban with 7 gas tanks that can tote around 100 gallons of fuel to make that run and it's going to be three generations from now before it's something that would meet those very, very unique needs. Especially if you're going to base your entire driving experience on that one, random need should it ever come up again.

What do you drive that goes over 1,000 miles w/o stopping? How do you not have any bio needs in over 13 hours of driving at an average speed of 75mph of no stops? Also, how do you avoid blot clots from sitting for over 3 hours straight w/o moving? So many questions.
