Only 5% of next car purchasers expect to buy all electric cars-Road and Track.

That's is the thing that kills me. He has very limited knowledge of the things he talks about. He uses the interwebs to help himself answer questions.. the whole reason he left is because he knew that there is way more devil in the details when it comes to d/c to a/c inverters.
The loss of power/ amps.

P.S. he'll come back later after he has done some internet digging, and act like he knows all of it. That is why I said fast. Compulsive liars, are always compulsive liars.

Thank you for showing that the car will do better than the average generator in an emergency, which is the point in question.

I've heard of people using inverters connected to their Prius to run things in their home during power outages. The difference is they can have gas cans to add to their Prius but if you're in an area with the power out how do you keep your EV charged? If you had a generator there wouldn't be a need to use an EV to power your home.

An 81 kWh battery will run more than your generator for longer than your generator, unless you have serious gas storage.

Depends on the generator. And as you pointed out about people having sleeping bags in seriously cold weather, anyone planning to use a generator in case the power goes out in a storm will have sufficient gas on hand. And didn't have to pay $50k or more for a Tesla.

Yes, we've covered this before. You can do everything a Tesla does, with a little bit more inconvenience, fuss, and maintenance.
But people with money prefer to get rid of those things, so they do. That's why they buy good electric vehicles.

It's not cheaper. It's just better, and easier for the user. Anybody with a Tesla can do whatever you'd do with your generator. And they don't need a generator.

I suspect amongst people with money there are a lot more generators than Teslas. Not a class thing. I also suspect amongst Tesla owners the vast majority of them aren't using them as emergency backup power.

Both of those are true. It's not a common use, and people of all kinds still default to generators.

I live in the future, so I inform you all of the future.

I'm afraid you don't understand how the word maroon works on this forum.
Yes, I'd rather wait 27 minutes, because I have the ability to leave days in advance to quite a comfortable location of my choice.

Same with anybody who can afford a Tesla.

I do know how it works from the last time you called me a maroon. I’m just baffled as to why u keep using the word because of how ridiculous it makes u look.

I've already showed you that the people with money are actually avoiding ev.

No, you did not. You showed that EVs sell enough down the income line for their average buyer to have a lower average income.

The highest rated luxury brand is not short on rich buyers. They just have a lot of upper middle class buyers also.

It will not surprise you that I'm slightly childish and I find it funny.

Elon Musk Says Cybertrucks Can "Serve Briefly as a Boat"

We do not recommend using a long-delayed electric truck with bulletproof windows as a boat for any amount of time.

It can serve even longer as a submarine.

If 27 minutes matters in your survival, you are a maroon. I will stand by that.

Secondly, there have been more than a few times where I've been unable to get gas when I needed it. And some of those times I had electricity.

Even in Florida right now, I will wager there are a number of communities that still have power, and most are all the gas stations are out of gas.

Florida is currently full of panicked people trying to get gas.

If I was in Florida right now I would get me just enough fuel to get my ass out of that god-awful state FOR GOOD. I wouldn't care if it was gas or elect.

Clearly all the net population growth in Florida disagrees with you.

Yes, the guy writing at The Atlantic can recognize sycophants and stupidity, but the world's richest man with the most profitable car company and his own personal Mars Missions should learn from him.

Genius looks like stupidity to stupid people.

The dude lives in the future and in memes. And he has a more impressive record than Steve Jobs and Bill Gates put together. So, I'll be slightly biased against the Atlantic editorialist.
