#1: No need for insults-Did I say you were stupid for wanting an EV? You have a right to your opinion, as do I. #2: I do know that cars can be tracked; I believe I stated all newer cars with computer chips can be tracked. Insurance companies will give a discount if you sign up for their “Safe Driver” programs. #3: You keep saying in the future batteries will provide better mileage and be more efficient, that is hypothetical. We do not know for certain how the cars batteries will work in the future. #4: Currently the cars are expensive and EV’s rely on lithium batteries produced in China. #5: “In the future, you will charge your car from home.” True, but another expense for EV owners and once again uses electricity to charge, at what expense? #6: As far as I know, there is currently zero mechanism for recycling the expensive lithium batteries when they are defunct. #7: On one thing you are correct, people should have a choice: continue with gasoline powered cars, hybrids, EV’s, or perhaps another alternative in the future. Shoving the EV as mandatory down our throats is not choice in a republic. #8: There actually have been quite a few reports of chargers not working in the cold. I guess if you are in Florida, California, Hawaii or Texas that isn’t a problem. #9: EV’s are more expensive than gas powered cars. There is no environmental benefit. But there is a benefit to those invested in or owning stock in the EV market, if it is made mandatory that all vehicles sold by say 2030 are EV’s. One more thing. It always surprises me when individuals have to resort to insults during the attempt to “inform” someone. I hope it makes you feel you are very wise and informed. Enjoy your EV.
Sorry for insults, but I was already getting attacked on this thread for trying to clear up the misinformation that people were spewing about them. The sheer amount of misinformation that is being thrown around about them everywhere is maddening. They're getting hit from both sides because mainstream media wants to ruin Elon, destroy Tesla, and Twitter. Then Trump supporters are raging against them because the shitbirds in the Biden admin keep forcing them on people. I don't blame our side for hating them because of Biden but they're passing around misinformation about them and most people are upvoting bad information because they hate EV's thanks to leftist freaks and their communist climate change agenda.
I don't like EV's because I think they're better for the environment I like them because of their superior smooth acceleration, low maintenance, and advanced tech. I also hate going to the gas station, I'd rather charge at home. I used to drive an Audi that ate oil crazy, then one day the engine blew because of sludge in the Engine, thanks to poor design on a ICE vehicle that should never happen because it's had 100 years to perfect.
Better EV batteries are more than just hypothetical they're being diligently worked on, but they may not pan out the way I'm hoping they do. I could be wrong on that, but I don't think I am.
EV owners in Norway have no problem charging and using their cars in the cold, Norway one of the coldest places has some of the highest adoption of EV's in the world. There are stories of the EV chargers not working in the cold that was blown up in the media like crazy because of hatred for Elon and Tesla. A few months ago I stopped at a gas station, and the pumps were broken, I almost ran out of gas trying to get to the next station. Should there be a national news story and outrage about it? Absolutely not, but when it happens to Tesla it becomes national news. People on here are losing their basic reasoning skills to rage against EV's, and it's disgusting.
No apology needed. We all must stick together and consider each other’s opinions. Thank you for the info. regarding battery recycling. Only by listening to each other do we expand our learning and thinking. Have a great day! My best to you.

You can recycle batteries.
