The Tesla Model 3 dropped from first place to third, behind the Toyota Camry and the Honda Civic, among all passenger cars sold.

    Yet.

    Which is why I specifically said “for the life of the car”. Every car will need an adapter for at least the next decade.

      Oof. You think it will take that long? Very honest question.

      If that’s how long it takes, I’ll be very sad. You may be right but that bums me out.

        Cheaper to build new chargers at new locations than retrofit old ones. You’re already seeing that. So you can choose to have the “default” connector but not have access to all chargers or simply carry an adapter that gives you access to all chargers. Why the hold out against an adapter that costs a fraction of the car? Seriously self defeating attitude.

          My car runs and I use it infrequently. Hell, I use it so the battery doesn’t die. No lie. Where I like is imminently walkable.

          So I don’t need to rush into anything. That’s not self-defeating; it’s just realism.

            I don’t want to own a car with the “wrong” kind of port.

            Basing your buying decision on not needing an adapter is absolutely self defeating for the reasons I’ve made abundantly clear.
