Just buy a Prius and let others live on the bleading edge of technology. Tesla made the mistake of manufacturing in California and will be bankrupt in less than 15 years. The larger auto makers will buy the scraps.

Did you miss the move to Texas, Germany and China. :)

It's a good thing that some are looking at the big picture.
Never ceases to amaze me how these “all electric” folks still don’t understand that increased fossil fuels will need to be burned to provide increased electricity for their green, virtue signaling lifestyles 👻

What should have been done FIRST is making the source of the power generation green, THEN make the end users appliances and cars electric.
THAT would be closer to “green“.

Maybe a little PR work by the nuclear industry?

From the Tesla website:
"Use a flatbed trailer only. Do not TOW! "

From the Chevy Bolt owner's manual:
"If the vehicle is towed with all four wheels on the ground, the drivetrain components could be damaged. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not tow the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground."
That's just dumb. A software tweak would fix that. I was thinking regen from towing meant you would arrive at your campsite with a fully charged EV battery, ready to explore.

The robot does the filling and shutting of the pump. I am guessing you do not have a home connection for charging your EV yet.
The inconvenience of public charging stations is why I think EV ownership will be spearheaded by homeowners. Renters can take the bus.
