Are you more repressed and have a lower quality life now than you did 20 years ago?

https://defendershield.com/electric-...be-bad-for-you What level of proof is acceptable? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6513191/ It's hilarious to talk to people who have done zero measurements or read any studies on the subject call me a hack. My wife has EMF sensitivity, and when I started measuring the sources of it and doing research I was amazed at what I found. Like the government not only not providing proper oversight, but blocking people from informing themselves: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/d...public-courts/ Or the dangers of cellphone radiation: https://cellphonetaskforce.org/epidemiological-studies/ |

So, looking at an EV as independent and a single-car use case, I just couldn't deal with the road-trip charging scenario, even if it was using Tesla's network, because Tesla's network is not everywhere; it is not ubiquitous like the gasoline station network. Waiting 40 minutes to gain some 150 miles of range in the winter on a road trip would not be tolerable for me. And planning routes around charging stations, even as easy as Tesla makes it, is still a PITA from my point of view. With an ICEV, fuel planning is: wait-until-the-fuel-tank-is-at-40-miles-until-empty-and-decide-which-gas-station-to-stop-at-to-refuel, anywhere in the USA. I understand the majority EV use case being charge at home and drive 30 miles a day. Great, but an EV doesn't standalone for me as a full-use (case) vehicle. I think most of the market thinks this same way, ICEV is just more convenient. 5-minute refuels and no range loss due to seasonal changes fits everyone's use case. Private at-home charging can be great, but not everyone in the market has that; I'd say most of the market doesn't. For me, like for this morning, I'd have to walk over to my barn - where I have 240V electricity and can setup a home L2 charger - 3-minutes in the pouring rain. F that.

I think it is more of Tesla is realizing that a nationwide independent dealer network gives them the real estate they need when cars start stacking up during slow sales months.

Matching stainless steel with aluminum bodies, just groovy.

My particular bad BMW dealer would always have a massive wait time just to drop off the damn car. Sometimes I would be there for an hour WITH an appointment. Their loaner cars were disgusting, pretty sure one of them had literal snot all over the dash, can you at least wipe it down with a dirty rag so you can't see the snot? Nah send it! Doesn't help that my freaking e92 335i probably spent more time there than at my house. One time they were fixing my AC and I get the car back and immediately I notice my wood trim looked very odd. SA says he doesn't know anything. Dude... this piece of trim is a totally different color than the rest??? Oh yeah sorry, we broke it and replaced it. With a different fucking color??? Eventually they ordered the correct trim but apparently they were hoping I just woudln't notice. They also crashed my car while on their lot... so there's that. Tesla has done none of those things. Of course only had to go to the service center once for minor things after delivery. The best service IMO is not needing any service. When I blew 2 tires on my last Tesla going through some pot holes in the rain didn't even have to go to a service center. Tesla sent their tech to my house and he replaced the tires right on my driveway. |

That being said I have taken the Tesla to NC like I said before and I have never had to wait to use any supercharger between FL and NC and most stops are 15 min or less. The only time I will stop longer is if I'm having lunch. There are several superchargers around the house in FL that I drive by all the time and I've never seen them full. Now if you live in CA or live in the middle of nowhere Wyoming somewhere then your results may be different. But the same way I personally wouldn't buy an EV if I can't charge at home I also wouldn't buy an F350 if I didn't have an RV to tow and I wouldn't buy a miata if I didn't have mountain roads to drive it on. If the shit hit the fan tomorrow and I had to sell all but 1 car... I would probably keep the Tesla. If I was living in NC full time then I would probably keep the truck. |

Most likely the RF power being measured is at a much lower frequency and is likely related to things like switch mode power supplies used to charge the battery - at this lower frequency the photons won't be harmful. |
