[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5494088, member: 24302"] No, I'm not. You have told us repeatedly that Tesla and electric motors are superior in every way and that Tesla will keep growing exponentially because the combustion engine can't compete. Yet you've also told us that most people only drive so far every day and don't need the long range or ease of use on a long trip that an ICE car provides. And you are in denial about how all those big batteries are supposed to be produced without sufficient minerals/metals to produce them. I'm putting forth that having a big enough battery to handle short trips plus a gas engine backup for longer trips in a much more affordable car seems like the only reasonable alternative to today's ICE cars. You're so in favor of the all electric Tesla because of performance that you're in league with the climate extremists who want to stamp out every vestige of the fossil fuel economy. Both stances are unreasonable and unobtainable no matter how inefficient, unreliable, polluting the ICE cars are. It's a hallmark of fanaticism when there's a refusal to reach a realistic, reasonable compromise. [/QUOTE]
