Good news... dreaming of BEV Class A

The EV train is rolling and I foresee it coming to fruition in all types of vehicles. When is another matter. The camping infrastructure is the Achilles heel to this in terms of timing. It will take a long time until campgrounds will even bother with adding a few sites to accommodate EV RV's. Given the fact that most folks are going to hold onto their gas or diesel ones there won't be any urgency on the part of CG's to spend the money until demand prompts it. I like the idea, but I think RV's will be the last to take root. I also wonder, once this EV thing truly takes off, what's going to happen to all the fossil fuel burning vehicles that are going to flood the used market. It could potentially make used gas and diesel RV's all but worthless once EV's gain some market share.

Being Technically feasible and developing the battery are two different things. a 10% drop-off is very optimistic also. We may get there, but it will take time and very large amounts of money$$$.

Just want to be clear on that.

Report was 500 miles on 75,000 lbs (80,000 lbs capacity). It's not independently verified though as it's Tesla's own tests.
