Electric car shock: Ontario man told new battery would cost more than $50,000 | Globalnews.ca

When the Tesla hit the market I was intrigued, but I waited. I liked the acceleration and speed (I've always had a "lead foot") but the quality wasn't there and you can buy some nice luxury cars for the price of a Tesla. (I'm at an age where I also like my comfort.) Also, I tend to be an early adopter of new technology (except GPS - I was schooled in the art and science of navigation at an early age and GPS seemed like cheating - Interestingly, one of the main reasons I shunned GPS was the question, What will they do when the battery goes dead? How will they find their way if they don't practice old-fashioned navigation?) All that being said, I'm damned glad I held out as long as I did. The case against electric cars mounts every day, especially with governments that have gone insane with Climate Change and Green Energy.

CPT Jack Durish I had stock and Tesla until recently, I bought it years ago and made 10 grand and sold it around 2001. now it's losing because they have to cut prices to compete with others. It may still be a novelty item. But I think it should be a personal choice. Not big government Socialism of mandating that half of American cars be electric by 2030. it's really sad because you have many makes of cars that are going away for the electric replacements a few years on the road, but the technology still isn't there.
and it'll be more expensive than it was before. . add-on top of that, you won't be able to charge your electric car. If coal-fired power plants are being shut down due to losses from the Sierra club. so there's a conundrum is you'll have to have your own portable generator or your Tesla home power pack solar panel array at home and that's not cheap either. either the way, the rich. Will be able to afford it, but the middle class person will not.
