That too.

Elon musk may have mainstreamed EVs for tech bros, but he ain’t gonna be the one to lead us to the promised land. Too many average joes who like stability, guys and gals with <big three> logo signs in their garage, and people who just want a car that can reliably get them to and from work and soccer practices for 150,000+ miles.

Before COVID I was about to put my name down...my bank account will no longer allow it unless I get back to my previous level of pay. I lost a solid quarter of my salary.

Scooby,

There is like a dozen Tesla's in and around my neighborhood and there is plenty of charging stations. (lots of HyVees around) I could definitely make it work.

It does if you know how to plan a trip. Lots of restaurants in the road trip areas (like say Tomah, WI where every road trip to East of here stops) have charging stations in their parking lots. Hell Teslas have an app that will point you to the nearest stations and help you map your route.

Tomah, Wisconsin. Brings back memories of many family road trips to Nashville that generally stopped first in either Menomonie* or Tomah. I remember stopping near Tomah during a blizzard to drive the final six-ish hours home from a road trip I took with my Dad to Boston when I was 16 or 17.
As for the question at hand by another obvious Susan Collins supporter, my next car will be an EV. They’ll be cheaper, or I’ll be more suited to afford one, and maybe Kentucky will double its statewide charging stations from 5 to 10.
 
When I was in MN last Aug - Oct I was surprised by how many Teslas I saw stalled out particularly on 394 to/from Wayzata and Minneapolis. No idea if these were due to running out of charge or not.
