Cards can fail so coin operation should always be there as an option. What planet are you from?
What I've been saying for a long time, outside of Tesla, your EV is pretty much tethered to your driveway due to the shockingly bad public charging infrastructure. Current EV en-route charging is fragmented, unreliable and not numerous enough.

Ionity is a network funded by many big manufacturers, but so far, they have only 1 operational site in UK, ~3 others being built. The one being built in MK Coachway station is only 4 stalls, whereas vast majority of Tesla supercharger locations are now at least 6 stalls.
Currently, when comms fail, charge points default to free-vend. As consumer, I don't see the problem with that
Tesla have built enough what seems like spare capacity at each location and charge fast enough to make that not a problem. Plus, they have reliable real-time reporting of charger availability in their cars.
Just like denying climate change, posting a photo of closely cropped 2 temporarily unavailable chargers does not show anything of value. Can you tell us more than this closely cropped image? Perhaps they were being built? Perhaps there are 10 other available stations in the next bays?
No, it's not ideal. It shouldn't happen to begin with. The real-time status of all chargers should be available in one app and/or in the cars, like in a well known EV and their chargers.
Perhaps you might consider finding a sense of humour recharge point?

Also, EV chassis developed from ground up allows a number of benefits over traditional front ICE FWD setup:

Really? Come on then, let's hear your interpretation of what he wrote.
As there are no 3yr old Model 3's perhaps you would like to change that to predicted.
I only quoted the articles. In the article, depreciation is said to be very low for Model 3. The same Focus article did not say depreciation for its performance model, hence wasn't quoted.
Again it is only predicted depreciation on the Tesla there are no 3yr old samples to confirm. Is that depreciation based on the Tesla 3 full list price or after the government subsidy. Using the full list price the depreciation on a base model 3 is £14400. The depreciation on a Focus Vignale which is the top of the range spec would be £12750. A lower spec Focus such as the ST Line would lose around £11k.I only quoted the articles. In the article, depreciation is said to be very low for Model 3. The same Focus article did not say depreciation for its performance model, hence wasn't quoted.
The depreciate across the whole range of Model 3 is said to be no less than 66%. I find that very impressive because most cars depreciate ~50% over same period. So this seems to goes against what you have been saying, after selling, the depreciation cost to the owner is not more expensive on this EV.
Focusing on one variant of the car, nevermind special editions, doesn't really add weight to your argument. It's like posting 1 picture of the horizon and proceed to say the earth if flat
Why are all the examples you give are cherry picked versions rather than the standard version of the said car?
Still trying to fathom why anyone would want to use their EV to store electricity and then put it back into the grid, you then would have to recharge your ev anyway. Perhaps you would like to enlighten us. An electric pick up truck is currently in development and it's electricity can be used to power a remote building site where there is no electricity supply, that makes sense.As I previously said, EV and batteries are uniquely capable of being part of the whole energy solution:

Also, no source on any of your figures, how can anyone trust your numbers?
*sigh* clearly you are struggling to construct a valid argument, so have fallen back to insults.
No calculation had been done in my last couple of posts, so even your insult doesn't make sense!
You still haven't provided ANY source to the numbers you've came up with.........
I think there are many hundreds of people directly affected by this who may take a different view.
Or not. My guess is they're annoying 10 people (possibly more) for every person who agrees with them. That is not the generally accepted way to win hearts and minds.
I agree - pathetic attitude by our politicians - believing this massive hoax!
Are you trolling? Don't do it, just don't. This threads bad enough without you introducing another argument with a conspiracy theory sound bite.
If you want to start a "Climate change is a huge lie" thread feel free to do so, but not in here. And make sure you start with some cohesive, fact based arguments which you're prepared and able to back up.
