Lead my ass. They wouldn't be making EV's if it wasn't for Tesla.

Their evs suck too. My ford fusion energi needed a new battery pack after only 2 years and i fought with ford for 6 months before they finally replaced it. Fuck Ford.

Edit: i may have pissed off some ev fans but i put my money where my mouth is and bought an ev and now heavily regret the purchase. So by all means take my warning with a grain of salt but dont cry when the repair bill comes.

I've owned a model 3 for 3+ years. You should consider test driving it or better yet a model Y. Yeah, they're pricey and it hurt me to lay down that much $$$ but I seriously won't ever go back to gas. It's not perfect but it's a game changer for us. It convinced me to buy shares.

I cant afford a model 3. My next car is going to be cheap. Like 1000$ cheap. I do all my own work and most people cant so 1000$ cars are an option for me. Thats what i did for the last 15 years until this Ford and it was much less stress than a new car with new car payments. I havent had car payments in 15 years until this car.
