Nothing new in that article. It summarizes what most of us in the "echo chamber" have been saying all along. I have especially been stating EV cost more to own in total inclusive costs and the payback doesn't start until after 80,000 to 100,000 miles, which is 5+ years of ownership. The Professor backs up what I have been saying for years on the Forum. I'm not a Doctorate-holding, Dept. Chair of anything, but I do understand automobile ownership costs. Maybe he's been reading my posts... Lol.

Yes it hit news last year - but more like a swimming/shower cap wit lots of wires, it requires quite a bit of training and active participation of subject and can only detect active thoughts not memories -

Science has been turning Sci-Fi ideas into reality for a long time.

Honestly I wish Tesla the best. If you have to buy a EV that is IMO the best choice. I'm seeing more KIA EV's lately.
Seems to be a different customer as it is the younger students driving the Tesla's and the clueless soccer moms driving the KIA's.

Same customers that were paying $10-20k ADMs on KIA Tellurides
