But still, fuck Elon Musk. Should I ever be able to use an electric vehicle, I'll buy something else.

good choice. Tesla makes the only remotely affordable usable ev. Musk is an asshole, but he is also a visionary who puts his visions into practice. SpaceX and Tesla are just way ahead of the competition.

So realistically that’s 120 miles. It’s not competitive.

Looks like 120 miles is on the order of 3 days driving by the average American. Why should I lug around batteries supporting more than that?

Further, the I3 has no range anxiety due to the Range Extending onboard gas generator.

A 2018 Tesla Model 3 is running $40k+. Taint worth $15k more than the 2018 I3 at $25k. Not even close.
