Mans been getting away with pretending Tesla was his idea for so long.

EV limitations, Elon's antics, and odd fan boys aside, Teslas have always looked horrible imo. That's basically
where it starts and ends for me
And while I can appreciate the efficiency and acceleration, not sure I'm with a completely silent vehicle just yet
(Though less noise pollution is definitely a good thing)

I have nothing against people that drive Teslas. Zero.
But Musk and Tesla do some inexcusable **** that I can't rock with
I look forward to owning an electric car one day, and I look forward to that car not to being a Tesla

Exactly. People don't realize that if everyone drives an EV, then electricity prices will go up. The increased demand puts a strain on the power grid. Not just passenger cars need a charge, now you have buses and EV tractor trailers/heavy machinery that need to be charged also.
How is the country going to meet this new electricity demand. Hydro, wind, solar and coal plants won't be enough.
Nuclear power has to be revisited

The future as I see it is huge investment in bulk energy storage and distributed energy storage
The cost of wholesale electricity will move from a market clearinghouse approach to one where the cost is based on the % of charge of the bulk storage systems
This dynamic would change everything and make prices stable, require way less oversight, and be very transparent
Instead of managing this insanely complicated balancing act of wholesale transmission and generation, utilities would spend those cumulative billions on better batteries
It would reduce administrative costs to the point where we might as well have a single national grid, it would be so easy to manage

Teslas & most EV's are ugly *** cars imo. Their design language isn't appealing + Tesla has major panel fitment issues. The only good looking EV on the market is the Porsche Taycan. The tech is kool & lessens pollution but no one ever mentions the pollution caused from mining the lithium. I am gas powered all the way. I can't drive a silent car. I like & need an exhaust note from my cars. People who have made the switch to electric is kool, more power to them but I hate how it's being shoved down everyones throat...EV this EV that, electric is the future & blah blah blah
. EVs will never invoke a visceral driving experience the way gas powered cars can. They have no soul.

I will definitely get a electric car when there Is one I like, but for now gas car looks 100x better. I need that exhaust sound as well. Those cold starts>>>
These EV companies are trying way too hard to make them look futuristic.
