Rich Rebuilds does seem a bit dogmatic. But I never thought of Engineering Explained as exaggerating or lying.

I did try to accept the limitations of an EV once. And although I can't say we hated the car, I doubt we'd ever do something like that ever again. Not that I'm closed to owning an EV ever again, but more of against getting one as a renter, as an only car, in the middle of the Rockies and with a range of 70 miles on good weather.

Teslas look like a good car, but I'm not convinced yet personally.

As an older Prius owner I do get why Prius forums will caution against getting one for the average buyer. I'd want to know what the buyer really wants, what she or he's capable of and what resources she/he has before suggesting he/she buys an older Prius.
