Boomer Wealth Is Surging in Florida, Leaving Workers Behind
The state’s combination of aging population and lack of affordable housing makes it the “canary in the coal mine” for the rest of the U.S.
The younger the group the larger the percentage gain. They are doing fine. They’ve just had less time to accumulate a big base.
Like WOW.
T.I.T.S.?
best thing about Elon is he never grew up.
have you heard the farting sound when the turn signal is on? only a dedicated frat boy could have come up with that.
Only if people become willing to wait 30-60 minutes to fuel up their car - at charging stations that aren’t on every street corner like gas stations. I just don’t see that happening. There’s a niche there for some urban dwellers but beyond that…my money is still on the 3-5 minute battery swap out. Plug-in EV’s look like Betamax to me; will be largely pushed out by VHS except for a small cadre of specialized users. Standardization is critical.
Total net worth a if all Americans around $125trilion. About the cost of the NewGreen Deal.
Curmudgeons living in areas overrun by liberals need to relocate before it comes to this.
Just figures it would be Austin.

I think that’s only an issue for long trips, i.e. 250 miles or more in one go. The charging on long trips can be managed if you plan your trip such that you charge during your meal breaks. TSLA in particular has many many superchargers in USA. Yeah as you said, you have to allocate @2 hour for charging for a 700 mile drive in a day.
For trips lower than 250 miles home charging totally works. For e.g., I charged my EV last night and now its ready to go another 300 miles.
Even though there’s charging time disadvantage I see no one talking about the drastic reduction of travel fatigue with autopilot mode and quality seat for long drive. This’s an unanimous view of all Tesla owners I spoke with.
Autopilot is helpful on freeways. For winding roads better to turn it off IMO.
Tesla interior quality is pathetic for the price. I think the seats are ok at best. The rear seat position on Model 3 is very low.
CR view
The padded material on the doors lacks the high-quality look or feel of some German competitors.
The open-pore wood looks fantastic, but we noticed a rough edge on part of it. The center armrest feels flimsy, and the front seats’ faux-leather material doesn’t look upscale enough for a $59,000 car.
Nobody wants to have to do that. Personal transportation means transportation ready to go any time, any distance.
Come on @acre . You’re too smart to say “nobody” wants that. Clearly some people don’t mind. As the tech improves, the rate of charging goes even faster and the range gets longer. We’re still in the early innings.
OK not nobody. Just most people. And almost everyone who lives outside and urban center. As for faster charging I’ve heard rumors of the 10 minute charge for years now. Sort of like practical storage solutions for solar.
If you live in the suburbs, how does an EV with 200+ miles not work for MOST people? Drive to work, shopping, taking kids to school/sport. The road trip? Fine, but most people in the suburbs have 2 cars anyways. Why not have 1 be an EV (for now)?
It’s not for everyone and not for every job, I get that. But for most people, I think an EV works just fine even with today’s tech. But with that said, it’s still too expensive for many people and the choices are still limited.
Don’t just look for the negative 
I probably take 2 loong car trips a year(1500 miles+), compared to 300 short trips(less than 250 miles), 2/300*100=1.33% of my trips are long, its not a bother for me at least.
FYI, Just got back from a 150 mile short trip today have plugged the car in. Will get charged at night at scheduled time at the lower rate(Time of use rate).
