Fear Mongering About Range Anxiety Has To Stop — CT Governor Calls Out EV Opponents

Tesla is one of dozens of brands. So no.

Tesla is 50% of all EV’s sold. So, yes.

Yes but we weren’t discussing “choosing a brand”,

That’s the point! You presented “swap a new battery” as obvious to the the OP when it’s not obvious. You have to first pick a brand that allows that. Model Y was first with structural battery but others like Volvo and BMW are coming soon.

Right so then “EVs”= “Tesla”? That’s the argument you want to go with?

I specifically DIDN’T say that! You said this:

Like by the time you need a new one there will be several affordable third party options that will also increase your range.

You didn’t qualify that with “only if you buy a model that doesn’t have a structural battery.”

Volvo and BMW are coming soon.

Yes that’s exactly my point.

So your argument has been that you agreed with me the entire time? Ok.
