[Evans, Marv]

I (we) have a Tesla, and I frankly don't give a damn about the stock price, competition from other EV's, nor am I stressed about charging infrastructure (although it's behind demand, but doesn't affect my situation). I bought the car for practical and economic reasons. It's pretty obvious the future is tending in the direction of EV's. All the moaning and groaning about the home charging situation is mostly just that. I had an outlet for a compressor in my garage. The car came with a charger with an 18 ft. cord, so it was just a plug & go. My house is electrioc with solar panels that provided about 3mW extra capacity per year over what we used for the house. We use the car for about 95% grocery getter with occasional forays farther afield in the county. It has worked out perfectly for our situation over the past three years, and while I've done service on my Ford van, bike, tractors, etc., I've added air to the tires of the Tesla and windshield washer fluid once. I'm sure it will fall behind the times like all vihicles. That's to be expected, but if that type of vehicle doesn't meet your needs, don't get one.
