I'm seeing how companies pimping this ev thing so as much as I like EV's I'm thinking of converting a nice gas car into taking veg oil.

True
Same companies that held back the technology for decades and made us oil reliant are now trying to sell us EVS.

Got my eyes on a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing with a manual transmission. Last supercharged V8 sedan made with manual transmission before Caddy and GM go to electric.

A Rivian owner was in a fender bender. The repair bill was $42,000.

The repairs cost over half the starting price for the Rivian EV. The owner said he'd expected it wouldn't be cheap, but it was a "shocking number."

• A Rivian owner said repairs cost $42,000 for his R1T after a fender bender, according to The New York Times.
• A repair shop had to take apart the vehicle's interior ceiling, the Times reported.
• Everyday maintenance can be cheaper for EVs, but collisions and insurance can be costly.

A Rivian owner said his R1T electric pickup truck cost about $42,000 to fix after it was hit at a stoplight earlier this year, according to a report The New York Times.

Welp, I guess I cancel getting one of these in the future...Fuck that!

Damn, I like the SUV though....

We have two EV’s now so my next car will also be an EV. Hopefully the prices will come down a bit and more ev sedans will be on the market. If not I’ll probably get into whatever the next Mach-E is.

The infrastructure for electric vehicles the technology and resources is easily 20+ years away from being practical

I still have yet to drive an all electric vehicle. I might Turo one for the weekend for shits and giggles just to get a feel for them.

But..it has to be a Z-06

This is true. In some parts, EV charge stations are few and far between. It's getting better though. I have put over 9000 miles on my Lightning in the past 7 months. EVs are right for me and my family.

Tesla is the only car maker making EVs that don't suck. If we are comparing, we need to use them as the example. 75 miles for a a full charge is ridiculous. I get 310 miles per charge.

1.) Tesla has high ratings in both customer satisfaction and reliability.
2.) Ford Lightning sucks. Ford is actually REDUCING production Lightnings.
3.) Elon Musk is on YOUR mind. I'm in this post discussing Tesla.

It's funny how getting a full ppf wrap is a must have for any Tesla purchase because the paint job is such trash.

When I get this promotion at work I have my eye on a rivian. Maybe find a used one.

I want to run it through a business name for the tax benefits.

You are speaking out of ignorance(a lack of knowledge).
If you would like to engage in a debate that prioritizes knowledge over emotions, lets start with you getting some knowledge by looking into the following information:

1.) Who manufactures the batteries that are in the Ford Lightning? Go ahead and Google it.
2.) What other companies have that maker manufactured batteries for? Go ahead and Google it.
3.) How many vehicles has that company manufactured batteries for thus far? Go ahead and Google it.
4.) How many vehicles has Tesla manufactured thus far? Go ahead and Google it.
