The disapproval of Elon Musk is the top reason Tesla Model 3 owners are selling their electric vehicles and going for another brand, according to a new survey of 5,000 Model 3 owners.

    They’re not selling here. There’s a huge off-roading community here and nobody wants to risk getting stuck 300km into a logging trail.

      Lol, yeah. Everyone I talk to about my car instantly becomes a weekend road tripper, like they are constantly going on thousand mile road trips to the middle of nowhere where there aren’t any charging stations.

      • Most people own cars a long time and it’s used for all their trips, around town and crossbcountry. You only have to get stuck somewhere remote once without a way to charge to have a bad time.

          So you buy a car that’s extremely excessive in 99% of use cases to cover that 1%?

          What keeps you from just renting a car for that 1%? I guess that’s why startups like Kyte are adopting a “car rental to your door” service…

      In theory, with a stack of solar panels an EV could take you even farther into the wilderness, The Martian style.

      Well people using their trucks to that extreme are always going to choose reliability over performance

        Reliability, height clearances, axle to axle length, tire sizes, etc. It’s not like 4x4 + ICE is automatically good at offroading.
