Said NO real motorhead...EVER.
Badass is always followed up by "badasser". I'm sure someone will find a way. They always do.
I still find it a bit funny that the cart is sitting in front of the horse with EVs at the moment. Neighbors down the road were early adopters. They have a Tesla that's a few years old and they absolutely do not take that thing on long trips. They said the infrastructure across the country is not ready to support it, nor battery technology is there, either. It's like cable internet. Everything's peachy until you take one step outside the city limits.
They sure don't like the extra time it takes to juice it up and find it stupid to partially charge it just to save time to get them to their next fix. We live 4 miles from town. Ain't no city drivin' out here. Plus, they don't like the way the insurance companies don't give them a break on their premiums. Cost as much to insure that as their new F250 diesel (for hauling a horse trailer). According to them. I don't know. They said if something ever happens that they need to pay for new battery pack, they're just going to get rid of it. Too expensive. At least right now.
I listen to the after-sale issues from real-life customers. Sure, sounds great, until you actually own one. Auto companies can't just focus on building and selling them. Everything else has to come along to support it. I'm betting it's like a lot of things that people buy trying to keep up with the Joneses. Some are too embarrassed to actually say their purchase isn't as cool as they thought it would be.
It'll get there. Eventually. But not right now. I'm so used to ICE, I don't see the need to change it up now. By the time it gets perfected, I'll be dead.
