So, the first car company built entirely around EVs (Electric Vehicles) finally turned a profit. In fact, Tesla's third quarter was spectacular.
While I am often skeptical of Elon Musk, he does seem to be a dreamer whose dreams come true. And Tesla has spurred the auto industry as a whole to finally take EVs seriously. Most of his competitors are luxury vehicles (Jaguar, Audi, soon Mercedes), but there are some aimed at more ordinary car buyers (Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt).
Charging remains a headache outside major centers and corridors, which means range continues to be a concern, but for an urban commuter vehicle, like my Civic, that is only driven within a limited area, that shouldn't be an issue.
So, yes, I will be considering going electric when I replace the Civic. To be fair, though, I kept my last one for 11 years and this one is only four years old, so it's not imminent.
So electric cars are finally here. Will you partake?
