  • It’s not that I don’t understand it. It’s that I don’t want to give him my money if I don’t have to. And that’s my right, yeah? I am sure the CEO of Hyundai/Kia is no saint, but on the other hand I don’t have to listen to their racist comments and general asshhattery on a constant basis. It’s great that you love your car. I love mine too. There’s room for more than one brand of EV. And as I mentioned in other posts, I was fine renting a Tesla in France this summer, so I’m not a zealot about it. I just have my preferences.


  • Yeah I hear you. It’s a completely fair point and I have no delusions about the saintliness of the other automakers. It’s the mouthiness you mention that gets to me.

    But hey, if there weren’t other options, and we hadn’t gotten such a good deal on the EV6 (MSRP plus rebate plus tax credit) I might have swallowed my loathing and bought a Tesla. But we did have a good option. And we knew what we were getting into, too, regarding the charging infrastructure. But my wife and I just decided to go for it anyway, and with a home charger, 99 percent of our day-to-day driving experience all year is totally fine. It’s these once or twice a year cross-California road trips that burn.
