Wife needed to drive (I live "out in the sticks" in New Territories and added the second kid to the family 6 months ago) and we were looking for a new car. I think our family situation reflects the effect of the FRT.
My budget was around 600k HKD which would have been ok for a basic Model S but now that the FRT is in place, there is no Tesla within my budget. Yes there's the Leaf or i3 but I think we all agree from various reviews that the lack of readily available fast charging (like Superchargers) or even medium charging (public ones always hogged up) makes the range on the Tesla-alternatives unappealing for daily drivers; plus I do not have access to home charging.
So what to do. Off to shop for an ICE I went and we are picking up our Land Rover Discovery Sport next week. HK had a choice, do we have a family drive an electric or ICE car? Legco said let's have them drive ICE.
Sorry next time you take a breath next to my wife's car, I had no choice lol (wait for the trolls "you always have a choice, don't drive! walk!" blah blah blah)
