One very real consequence to EV's is the inevitable end to the battery. Properly stored, an ICE car can be left for decades then restarted with little effort (I've done it several times). A Tesla left for decades will need a new battery pack. Over time as batteries become cheaper, that will...

I don't disagree with you on MRR - it is getting ridiculous. But something like EAP will need constant and recurring investment to become truly safe and reliable. Counting on cash from car sales to fund it isn't really sustainable. A subscription model makes a ton of sense there. As far as...
