TSLA will win
Would you accept that it's an "EV with a gasoline engine to carry you further when you need it."?
No. The gasoline engine doesn't come down from above like a guardian angel. The ICE is in there along with the fuel tank, all the time, and you pay for it when you buy it. If some nerds are able to use it almost as if it were an EV, that doesn't make it an EV. You can also use it as a 30 mpg ICE, and it's still the same car. If it has two motors, it's called a hybrid. If it can drive on electricity from a plug, it's called a plug-in hybrid. If it tries to call itself EV, then it tries to get a chunk of Tesla's halo. Is that clear enough?
