It is astounding how many EVs are in the Denver Metro Area...mostly Tesla. Seems like most of my clients are driving Teslas and they definitely love them.

I'm not a fan when the powers that be are disingenuous in regard to full lifecycle analysis of producing (and retiring) the vehicles and their component parts (same goes for solar and wind, in my opinion). Then they compound it by absolutely demonizing and trying to make illegal all ICE vehicles.

Regardless, let the smart money go to the smart projects...don't mandate/dictate. If it remains fossil fuel - great. If it proves to be more EV focused...great! But let the free market decide - no subsidies other than private sector.

By the way - if they come up with nuclear at the vehicle level (or house), I'm all in.

And I love my Jeep...and trust it on heavy snow versus an EV with short battery life and potential adverse effects of extreme cold. Ah, and I don't want someone "bricking" my Tesla because I've been a baaaad boy...as unilaterally determined by them.

Heavy snow jeep wins. No question. Lifted with 35s.... I do love my Jeep, but I hate the repairs... of course lifted with big tires causes more wear....

But the cold has been a complete non issue with EV for us in the Boston area. I wired the charger up at home and the car charges overnight off peak hours at a lower rate and is ready for my wife everyday.

We get solid range. Real world for us is 150m to Albany NY to see friends and family. On single charge we get there and around for the weekend and hit super charger for 20 minutes to get enough range to get home.

I agree about letting the free market play out. No more EV subsidies and no more oil subsidies.

Sounds like it does the trick for you. Believe it or not, I've sat inside a Tesla but never ridden in one. Would be intrigued in the acceleration and I've heard the braking/deceleration is interesting.

And yes, subsidies applies on all sides...take them out, no bailouts, LFG and see what happens. That's why I'm also OK with heavier states rights and making choices as it relates to food and pharma, too. Oh, and mediums of exchange and units of account since mainstreeam starting to see a real store of value!
