Like I said, sell me with numbers, or it’s a no go. “I think” and “much more” is not a hard sell. A tech manager wouldn’t give you the time of day with that.
I see these hard facts:
(1) low price of consumer entry.
(2) no oil changes
(3) no gas station stops
(4) refueling done during time you aren’t using car.
Even without 7500$ subsidy, if it still goes that high ANYWHERE, 2 through 4 alone make it worth the difference for many Americans, and many are waking up to that fact.
The sales on the model 3 speak for themselves.
And as soon as the battery gets big enough to tow a standard enclosed trailer 300 miles in on a charge, the Big 3 had better be ready to become the niche 3 or ready to play electric ball.
The Tesla’s are fantastic vehicles. The nerds that work for me love them. A couple were out in the parking lot driving the things around using their phones. With nobody in the vehicles.
They haul booty too.
Consumers generally buy with emotion.
Fleets buy on spreadsheets.
Tell me again why fleets in Europe with $7 dollar a gallon diesel aren’t all electric?
