My wife needs to run on a ~70 mile trip about once a week to help their mom, often in freezing temperatures. An EV reasonably capable of that didn't really exist outside of Tesla until the last few years.

Please stuff the "kill all the children in the crosswalk" nonsense. It doesn't help anything. Until the Cybertruck, Tesla didn't even offer anything like that.

    Yes they did. Nissan Leaf. Chevy Spark. Fiat 500e... Many had sufficient range for the 70 miles you're talking about.

    Please stuff the “kill all the children in the crosswalk” nonsense.

    No. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/aug/09/tesla-self-driving-technology-safety-children. Stop defending Tesla.

    Now try it in freezing weather, and account for 70 miles in both directions. And you don't want to actually use the entire range, but rather sit in the 10-80% marks. No, none of them could.

    I'll criticize Tesla for actual reasons.

    Now you've moved goalposts from the previous post. The trip magically went from 70 miles to 140 miles. If this conversation is just going to be shifting the argument repeatedly, then I'm just going to walk away.
