I’m on almost the same curve on the Highlander I have now. Averaging like 19 MPG over the last 2000 miles. Used to get 25 minimum.
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

Our Tesla has 25k miles. The tires have been rotated twice, and the I've filled the washer fluid twice. That's it, nothing else. Next year, it will need an in cabin air filter and a tire rotation every 10k miles.
I just had the tires on my kia telluride replaced at 50k miles. I expect the same for the Tesla. Pretty good considering that it's faster than 99% of any muscle cars ever made. Tell me how reliable a muscle car is that runs low 12s, and that's the slow Tesla.

I don’t like when you lie your ass off in here, true.
And how many miles total? I mean my prior '02 GP was still averaging the real world 26mpg hwy at 176k when I sold it, for the current Buick.
What about brakes? What about fuel filters? Oil filters? Air filters? Engine oil? Exhaust systems? Torque converter? Water pump? Alternator? Drive belts? Oil pump? Radiator?
If you knew anything, you'd know that EV brake pads last at a minimum 2x as long. But since you've never owned one, you can only go by what you heard. Maybe listen to actual owners.
When was the last you ever replaced half of those actual parts? Filters are cheap. I mean a buddy finally replaced a water pump on his truck at 280k miles last year.
Exhaust systems? Torque converter? Water pump? Alternator? Drive belts? Oil pump? Radiator. I mean out of these ive only ever had to replace a $20/$30 belt twice. Though yeah not looking forward to the timing belt later on on the wifes SUV in a few years, one downside of the Honda V6s.
Yeah, those things will never go bad or get worn on a BEV. You've never replaced the oil? Air filter? Oil filter? I'm sure you do all your own work, and pay nothing when you have your transmission serviced.
Oil and filter are covered on the wifes SUV, bought a maintenance package for cheaper then I could do it myself on my car. Cheap maintenance overall on cars that will actually last.
What I find hilarious is that I'm being talked to like I've never owned an gasoline powered car. I've owned 20+ cars, motorcycles, quads, snowmobiles, jet skis, and motorcycles. I still own an ICE vehicle, and I'm assuming most people here that own BEV's are similar. No, they are not perfect. No, they are not for everyone, but most of the arguments against them are pretty idiotic, and you can tell are from people who have never owned one in their life.
Whats sad? Both cars can easily go 250k+ don't see many if any EVs at that milage.
Funny you bring up the small engine vs EV, yes EVs can outperform most small gas motors for a short period. But thats where the 2 min to refuel a small engine vs the what 1hr+ to charge really hits. I mean a gas 450 can easily run multiple motos a day with quick refuel. Starks are about spent after 2.
Another one how many have electric snow blowers with todays snow? How many batteries did it take to clear this morning? I've only filled my gas blower once to begin this season.
