Your posts are quite sensationalistic.

Luis Luis! Thank you, I am sensational!

Lol! Most haven’t had an EV yet. Most of my friends haven’t driven an all electric EV.

I feel like you need to reframe how you’re looking at this.

I think Toyota will be a successful later mover into EV, possibly by acquisition or move to solid state batteries, if such a thing will be possible.

Both Toyota and Honda will catch up and quickly. And they know how to run automotive companies. It’s why I think Tesla is going to suffer mid- to long-term.

The problem with road tripping is the cost - $0.48 per kWh here. We don’t road trip with the car, but if we did I’d save the free kWh for it.

I’ve never heard of 2,000 kWh free EA charging cap in the US. It’s either free for two years for pre-MY25 or capped at 1,000 kWh for MY25.

Any EA charger can be used to get free charging! MY25 is free as well - it’s just that instead of a 2 year cap, you now get 1,000 kWh cap.

Thanks! Could have sworn I read about this cap in the fine print, but now I don’t see it… good news
