As I said before, you're more than welcome to have whatever opinion you have.

Having said that, while cars are certainly capital goods with a long lifespan (I usually keep mine for longer than 10 years, though I'm aware many flip them every 2-3), they are not an investment in any sense of the word.

Rather, they are a good you buy to cover a need, knowing that they depreciate rapidly. Note that I'm aware this does not mean they are not an asset.

As for "sowing doubt and hesitancy in the mind of the consumer," when current and expected conditions make a purchase ill-advised for most, then making that clear to those people serves them better than letting them blindly rush in.

As soon as I see widely available low-cost convenient charging solutions that can be used by people who cannot install their own L2 charger, I'll be more than happy to say that the EV is here for (almost) everyone. In fact, if I see this sort of thing is even being started, I'll be happy to point it out as a positive development.

Of course we also need to ensure the grid is being prepared for the rapid increase of power demand likely to result when we stop burning 370 million gallons of gasoline a day in our ICE and hybrid vehicles (https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=23&t=10). It won't happen overnight, but a 20% increase in total generation even over ~10 years isn't trivial.

Respectfully, pointing out the problems that already exist out there so people don't get bitten by them (and so that policy makers realize they need to address them) does not make me part of the problem. It just makes me a (somewhat) helpful guy.
