My tesla model s is about 10 years old now and it's cost of ownership is far lower than any gasoline car I have had. These cars were expensive to buy (but getting cheaper) but are far far far cheaper to own. You can look at the article you are commenting on and see that economists are predicting that total cost of ownership of EVs will be lower than gasoline cars by 2025.
As far as the cybertruck ... this is just the stupidity elon musk has been affected by lately. The cybertruck body is supposed to be made by a fancy new method which Tesla has a lot of problems bringing to mass manufacturing. Rivian is making ev trucks and suvs that are quite popular.
- hristov 3y agoSorry for the double post. HN seems to be having issues ....
- plagiarist 3y agoI'd be very interested in Rivian if it wasn't such a luxury price. I've wanted an EV truck ever since that news article about the guy in Texas powering his home from an F150 Lightning. But the price, coupled with the mass spying in every new vehicle... Looking like it will be used ICE cars for me pretty much indefinitely.
- marssaxman 3y agoI wish the Bollinger trucks had worked out; that utilitarian design ethos really nailed it. My family is sticking with our old Toyota pickup for the same reasons you mention. It would be nice to completely stop burning fuel, but in practice we've already electrified our everyday travel by switching to bikes and scooters.
