Man, we get it. You don't like EVs. Is it really necessary to derail every thread about them? From your logic, Gasoline powered vehicles must absolutely suck because I see more of them broken down on the side of the road then I do EVs and hybrids.

And just a quick aside: every con you have for them was exactly what was said about gasoline powered vehicles by horse farms and steam powered auto makers. Every new technology has to overcome the barriers to entry into the market. But as they do, prices come down and distribution networks get bigger.

CNG cars have the same problem right now whn it comes to distribution stations but that is slowly changing. It's changing so much that ford will be offering a CNG powered F-150 straight from the factory next year.

As for the OP. congrats on the move. Just be careful you don't hold on too long if there are signs of trouble in the future. As of now I don't see that happening. Tesla keeps demonstrating that they're not just in this as a science experiment but to legitimately bring a valid alternative to the market and make it widespread. If their lawsuit from dealership groups goes on Tesla's favor we'd be one step closer to ordering our cars directly from the manufacturer with no middle man. That would be sweet.
