    I dislike Elon as much as the next guy, but this just isn’t true.

    The charging infrastructure for Teslas is miles above the rest for much of the world. The electric drive trains are some of the most efficient and long lasting. And outside of America their pricing is quite competitive.

      I’m totally with you on the charging (and don’t have one myself) but as for the drivetrain, is one really that much more efficient than another? There’s not a lot of energy lost to heat, noise, and whatever else that ICEs have. Most of it is in (for example) the body’s aerodynamics, no? And as far as how long they last, most of them are about 10 years old, tops? Hard to judge that one just yet (yeah, the Leafs suck already but they don’t have a battery management system)
