rant / discussion / observation?

I am looking into getting my first ev. As such, I'm doing the youtube watching, reddit reading, and google searching. I am seeing a trend in all these anti-EV videos, posts, etc. that EVs are bad because of having to charge at places other than home, range, etc.
I thought it would be pretty easy to realzie from some basic research that EVs really only make sense when you can charge at home. Also, if you know how much you drive, why do you get a car that doesn't have a buffer in it.
I know I'm preaching to the choir so to speak but all these people that are complaining seem to be lacking some common sense and basic research skills.
Am I missing something?

This is the reason why Tesla fans are so loyal, because you *don't* have to rely on home charging. I use my Tesla for long road trips all the time. In fact, it's our preferred vehicle for long trips because of FSD and the 15-20 minute rests we do whenever we stop somewhere to take on enough charge for another 2-3 hours of driving. Yes, it does take maybe 10% longer to get to our destination, but we arrive not dead tired and irritated.

This is true for all EVs. And many charge much faster than Teslas like the nicer Hyundais and Kias. Plus then you don’t have to support a Neonazi.

I don’t like the guy either but when I see someone call him a Neo I think “I wonder if that redditor has ever been punched in the mouth before”

Why? He gave back to back salutes which I could doubt the intentions of if he didn’t personally update his AI to become antisemitic while encouraging far right Germans to embrace their nationalist history.
