I am one of the “late“ early adopters to electric vehicles. I am a total convert now. I bought my first EV, a Tesla model Y last year. My husband has been driving an S, then an X since 2015. I didn’t want to drive one at the time because I didn’t want to buy a really expensive car and have the kids trash it. Once my lease on my gas car was over, I bought the 7 seat model Y and I absolutely love it. Best car ever. My kids are driving now and we got them EV’s as well. I know this is an electric vehicle sub and this is not about Tesla at all. I bought it because it met my family’s needs and for access to the supercharger network. A month after I bought it, we installed solar panels on our house and put batteries in as well (after our massive student loans were forgiven with PSLF). We don’t buy gas now and we have reduced our reliance on the grid by 90%. Our financial situation is better now as we are saving so much money as we pay less for transportation and fuel now. I feel like I’ve seen the light! I live in a typical Midwestern town and I drive around town and count every electric vehicle I see. On a good day I’ll see 10 Teslas and about five other EV’s (among a sea of gas cars). But I work with people who don’t even care. I work with one guy who is an immigrant and his building a new house and told me he is putting a charger in the house and will buy an EV once he moves in to the home. But everyone else around me couldn’t care less. I went to Los Angeles last weekend and was shocked! We saw 50 Teslas in a short 5 mile radius. We drove past one of their dealerships and it was packed with people picking up cars. I rented a Tesla while there and glad I took a picture of my license plate because I couldn’t find my car in the sea of other Teslas at the mall. I went to one supercharger that cost $.24 all day and it was was packed with cars. I told my son who was with me that “we are looking at the future!”. But now I am on the other side of the country visiting a different big city and I see even less EVs than where I live. You read in the news how we’re just on the edge of the S curve and it’s going to explode but somehow I just don’t believe it. So many problems could be solved and wars could end if everyone made the transition to EVs and renewable energy. I feel like in the next four years it could be even less as a different administration will try to kill the momentum. Which to be honestly it feels like people might as well just stay in the Stone Age. Does anyone else feel like this? I hope I’m wrong.
