But... the thing I like about EV is that electricity is the great "common denominator", so to speak.
For example, I can make electricity out of anything (solar, wind, thorium, hydrogen, petrol, uranium, wood, coal, "zero-point", etc.). Whereas, I can't make hydrogen out of wind, or coal.
Know what I mean?
At that level, EV seem smart from an industry perspective - "stable" - not going to have to retool the manufacturing infrastructure (every few decades?). Globally and locally, there will always be a way to produce electricity.
Right? Hmm. It's an interesting consideration for me - no matter how inefficient they are, currently. Improvements will come, I do believe.
There is probably a market for both EV and Hydrogen V - reasons why I would want to own both.
But let me finish with this: unless modern society implodes (and I give that a ~20% chance right now, and we are reduced to campfires and savagery again), the future is EV. Because once we have basketball-sized fusion devices (or Tesla's global power grid is realized), batts will no longer be necessary -- just lots of on-demand E!
Thanks for the communication. #cheers
PS. I was always impressed that Elon named his car company "Tesla" and not "Franklin". Millions of people around the world talk about the genius of N. Tesla now.
simple market mechanisms ( supply / demand ) will resolve.
meh - great for around the town.
I honestly have no idea what that means - inferior to what?

Who said anything about need? It's called fun.
So don't do "ludicrous" mode all the time. Problem solved.
the same could be said about private jets, and yet they are more popular than ever. What's your point? Are you some kind of environmentalist?
Very true.
Debatable.
I'm not convinced, so perhaps you should...
It's a valid point.

pretty high bar.
honestly, how many people do you trust? more or less than 5?
i trust that elon is human - no angel. but neither am i, to be honest.
i judge ppl by actions as best i can, and so far, i don't have any itchy issues with any of the moves he's made.
i can't say the same thing about basically every other billionaire.
