remember when
I started driving in the late 50's so I grew up with the muscle cars of the 60's and 70's. I never had a true muscle car but did have some big V8's. Back then you either had a stick or a 3 speed auto...

It's a great car until you have to have it worked on. Do some research on what a brake job on these cars will set you back. There is nothing cheap about them at all.

Correct. Other problem is range anxiety. Like a Steam engine an electric engine has its maximum torque coming in at 0 Rpm. Theoretically should accelerate like a rocket.
Range anxiety can be an issue in some electrics depending on the persons needs. However a Tesla is pretty good. 250 miles and 30 minutes to recharge to 80 percent. Have lunch while your waiting. I see people idling in their cars at Costco for 20 minutes plus and then they still have to fill. Just a change of venue really.
For us, anything over about 60 or 70 miles is a waste of capacity anyway. We rarely do even that. We are limited to about 90 miles on ours though, and ours doesn't do the fast recharge. Not required for us but I can see where it might be important for some.
In Australia,in some rural areas not uncommon to drive 150 miles one way in a day Lack of charging stations etc make EV's not the way to go
Yah, Electric vehicles are not the solution for everyone at this point. They have there place and will continue to improve and gain market but it will be a while before you will be hooking up a fifth wheel to one. :) Great way to go for those of us who are a good match for them though.
