The vagueness in your reply is intriguing. I will assume you’re not being obnoxious and referring to an ICE vehicle. Well, Tesla “existed” in 2004 and its first commercially available vehicle, the Roadster, predates the Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi i-MiEV.

The Tesla Model S wasn’t the first EV, but it’s arguably the first commercially available product capable of a “road trip” by any reasonable definition of the term.



Yeah, I think he was referring to ICE vehicle road trips for some odd reason. Some people can be very aloof.


It's not odd or aloof, it's a straight-up non sequitur.
