I know right? Same questions. "I heard the battery can explode and burn your house down!" "But you can't go on long trips!" "I heard the battery only lasts a couple years!"

Yep. Like it or not Elon has been the face of the EV world. Sucks because he's an idiot. Also I'd say that those who buy EVs are more likely to be liberal leaning, and his takes on politics have killed a lot of the ownership pride that folks used to have. I know my next EV won't be a Tesla...I'll likely go with a Rivian R1S.
