Another way to say "this is a strawman argument on range concerns" is to say "some people use their car as a primary mode of transportation, and struggle with normal issues with combustion engine car reliability... they aren't going to overpay for a less functional product, which may have other unknown concequences". The majority of people don't know or care how their car works, they are busy with life. Being dismissive of real and tangible concerns is a luxury of excess. Electric cars are fine in CA context, but there are plenty of learning curves with these cars. I've tried to rent an electric for rental car use when taking road trips to see how bad it is... Hertz has almost given up on Teslas and Lucid has started giving several to Enterprise and others to rent them out. If you cant plug it in everywhere you park, for example in Colorado, there are some huge inefficiencies like battery heating/cooling losses which impact range up to 2x.
