Tesla's issues are mounting up. Costs of totaling out, overall missing quality/realities of UX, and the lack of real infrastructure to support other buyers.
I'd love to be able to buy an EV. But my condo doesn't have charging ports, so realistically the best I can do is a PHEV for now.
It came up Friday (when it was asked, 'what would I buy if my hybrid was totaled tomorrow') as well as jokingly saturday (when my hybrid died thanks to poor QC on a previous recall software 'upgrade'... car worked fine before thank you...) but if I had to do it I'd still at most reach towards a Hornet PHEV.
- nielsbot 2y agoSlightly tangential, but I recently saw this product... Seems to be a 2-way switch for charging your EV via your dryer outlet (assuming you have one of those) https://splitvolt.com https://splitvolt.com (I am not affiliated with them)
- fred_is_fred 2y agoThe issue likely is the distance between where you park the car and where the condo is. Which is likely to be substantial since most condos do not have an attached garage.
