"New energy vehicle". What a cute euphemism for "useless chunk of metal / really big paper weight"! Maybe they should call them "NO energy vehicles" instead?
Sorry, Elon, but you ain't about to get me into one of those death-traps... not now, not ever. Not even if you gave it to me free, or even paid me to take it off your hands. Not to mention the fact that I've not seen ANY "charging stations" here. Not a single one, as far as I've traveled from home. I guess that's one way to avoid problems with brown-outs or the ridiculous amount of time required for a "fill-up" - just don't have any charging stations at all, and no one has to worry about those problems at the charging station!
Plus, there is also the added bonus that, if I can't charge my car at all to begin with, there is less worry about it just spontaneously bursting into uncontrollable flames!
And, exactly NONE of the above creates any incentive to spend way too much money for an unusable chunk of metal...
