    I found this interesting
    California EV startup Lucid Motors gave up majority ownership to Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund in exchange for the $1.3 billion investment it closed last year, according to an email from the company’s lawyers that was included in a lawsuit filed on Wednesday.

    This isn't politics. You could be a Tesla fan/owner and like other cars as well as disliking some aspects of your own. I'm an owner and very neutral about my ownership experience.

    From what I’m reading Faraday did start a factory in Las Vegas. They made enough progress to brake ground and start construction.

    Electric Car Maker Faraday Breaks Ground in Nevada

    They all have momentum until they don’t =)

    Two possibilities:

    1) With a 500+ range, home charging will be sufficient 99% of the time.

    2) Lucid is betting in a few years there will be more non-Tesla options for charging.

    Thinking about the last possibility, if in five years there is not a robust selection on non-Tesla stations it will mean that EV's have largely failed in the marketplace.

    I wonder when gas stations start offering chargers. They almost always have empty spots and they make most of their money from the store anyways.

    Outside of interstate stops, likely when charging is the same time as filling up on gas. In most American locales anyways.

    I think the current figure is that 80% of charging is done at home or work. Why stop at your local gas station for any amount of time when you can just charge while at home/work? Just as I plan my phone charging so that I don’t need to ever be inconvenienced, I do with our EVs. If DC charging gets down to 5-10 minutes, then maybe there’s a bigger market. But then it’ll be at things like supermarkets and restaurants.

    Road trips simply aren’t as reflective of the miles we drive as range hysteria (now promoted by ICE supporters AND Tesla fanboys) suggests. Of course, when we lived in a high rise, we needed public chargers, but that’s a minority in America.

    I wasn't thinking about your local gas stations, but instead gas stations on a major interstate in the middle of nowhere. Like on route to vegas.
