First is was they don't have enough range (solved - Lucid Air has 500+ miles), next it was they take too long to charge (solved - BYD's flash charger can go from 10% to 90% in under 5 minutes), next it was they are too expensive to buy. Now solved.

I cannot wait to read what is the next FUD line from the ICE crowd. Any bets?
