When are people going to stop buying Teslas?

39. I didn't buy a Tesla for several reasons

I bought a new SUV a couple of years ago after my previous car was totaled.

I stayed away from Tesla for several reasons. First, I didn’t think that the charging infrastructure was adequate (Imagine buying and driving an auto back in 1910. You’d have similar problems finding gas stations!) Second, I drive to a lot of places where there aren’t charging stations and street tires don’t cope well with rock-strewn tertiary roads (Where Teslas fear to tread). Third, Tesla didn’t make the kind of car I wanted. Fourth, as much as I dislike the inertia and complacency of many established car makers, they do have a lot of experience in designing cars that avoid the on-the-road problems that Tesla owners get to find out about the hard way

I might have bought a hybrid if I had more scratch (I didn’t have it at the time). Electric technology is evolving, but it hasn’t reached maturity.

I bought my SUV before I learned about Musk’s politics. I won’t buy a Tesla now if I can avoid it.

To the remaining car makers: get your acts together. We don’t want you to go the same way like Studebaker and Packard!
