It doesn't matter how you slice it, since people like running around this argument, tesla has built a system that works TODAY. The network, the range, the performance and the price. Nothing comes close to it when you want to have all of that.
Car makers can make 30k EV's. But it doesn't have the performance and range.
Car makers can make a 2000hp super sedan EV but then it costs double the top price tesla super sedan. And it still doesn't have the network tesla has.
I'm starting to realize, actually nah i already knew, it's not so much about people being against EV's, but mainly tesla. Well first they have a problem with tesla, then they have a problem with EV's overall.
But weird because the model 3 and Y are the best selling EV's right now.
The model s plaid has become the gold standard in performance measurements when considering straight line speed.
Everyone is chasing tesla, trying to beat it at it's own game. But still fall short when considering everything overall.
Car makers will need time to catch up.

Id say most cars are 35-40k now, maybe even closer to 40, 30k is like back in the 2000s. The car 99% of what people want is an SUV with some pep, the flavor may change slightly depending on the manufacturer, but its “one car type” and that will constitute the majority of sales. Selling sports car models or even sedans is not cost effective and the further we go in the future, the less and less it will be. So many reasons for this, the emphasis that people need to start a family, buy a house, work crazy hours/commutes to pay for it all, buy a jet ski, etc. Nothing wrong with ANY of this, but it tends to not leave a lot of room for most people to do stuff like own a car with 2 seats…
