Yeah, a Tesla... I can only have one if I'm fiscally irresponsible or rich. Everything can be "done right" for enough money, but not done for everyone, EVs need to be for everyone. A Tesla can't compete with the economy of a 3k 2004 ICE car where you don't even have to think about range.

I used to think about the range of my diesel regularly since eventually I would need to visit a petrol station. My EV is fully charged every morning and does every journey I’d need to do in a normal day. I think about its range less than my old diesel. As for fiscal responsibility, the EV costs 3p/mile to run.
