Elon Musk promised us a $30k Tesla. He didn't deliver one.
Anyone who thinks a $40k car is affordable is clearly not in my socio-
economic class. Teslas are cars for your class, not mine. I've never paid
that much for a new car and (adjusting for inflation) don't ever intend to.
Heck, even

It’s definitely possible to go anywhere in a Tesla but they aren’t every 100
miles. Sometimes you have to go out of the way to make your destination because
of spacing. Between Little Rock and Tulsa it’s over 300 miles and the computer
in the Model 3 long range says you cat make it. I didn’t try

That's why I said "about 100 miles".

This is why I believed that the 2nd Gen Chevy Bolt was the perfect vehicle for
90% of the population.
I.e. for 90% of the population it has enough EV range for 90% of their driving.
When they need to go further than ~50 miles the onboard generator starts up
and you get ~42mpg.

You are the exception not the rule. The data I have seen says 85% of the people
go 35 miles a day. I never claimed everyone only needs 100 miles a day. I was
also speaking of personal experience driving an EV.

I agree! I also found that on days when I had a meeting in the evening that a 2
hour charge after I got home from work while I had my dinner was often enough
to go to my meeting or run errands.

We have the Leaf (2011) and it is our primary car. Even with its
horribly degraded range, it is almost exclusive
I may be the exception, but I think you are misusing the statistic. To
say 85% of the people go 35 miles a day says nothing about how often
they go, say, 150+ miles in a day.
We need a statistic something like: 70% of people exceed 150 miles a day
5 times a year. This is a completely different

Paul,
300+ mile range isn't fictional. Or, maybe at least 250 miles.
Sure, if you rarely go more than, say, 100 miles in a day you can rent
something for the exceptions.
Using myself as an example, I need a vehicle that can go 200 miles RT
for excursions to the mountains. I go 20-25 times a y

When I used to convert gassers to EVs and used Thundersky and Calb LiFePO4

Because they are such low impedance (high specific power) you can reduce
the weight of the cooling system, (or perhaps eliminate it entirely) but
