Reply to comment by Perfect_Opposite2113 in Canada moves to mandate electric vehicle sales starting in 2026 by rentalfloss

Presumably the people who can afford a Tesla can also afford a garage to park it in. I don't know how EV battery chemistry works but I'd hazard a guess that leaving them outside and relying on a block heater probably isn't great for longevity.

I'll tell you one thing though. I've seen quite a few vehicles stranded on the road, but none of them were Teslas.

Presumably the technology will improve but I know some people aren’t interested in moving ahead with civilization which requires innovation.

Edit. Stop downvoting me ya bunch of Luddite’s. Lol

There are a lot of people who don't have the leeway in their day-to-day lives, to juggle yet more expense and logistics while kinks get worked out. If you do have that leeway, awesome and I do mean that. Over time the whole thing will become normalized and accessible, and that's what we want.

In the meantime it's clearly still a contentious subject and smugness is no more helpful than knee jerk resistance.
