Opus 2025-383: On the Road: Demographics

Summer is here.  That means the panic over climate change for those who have short memories.  For normal people it is a part of the cycle of the year.  Temperatures here in Texas are hitting the triple digits or high nineties.  It is expected.

I am also noticing a decline in the number of Teslas I see on the road.  When it was cooler I used to see at least one when I drove into town.  Now I can go days without a sighting.  I find myself wondering if the heat, requiring air conditioning, is too much for the battery charge they carry.  I have no idea.  I don’t run in Tesla circles.  I know people who drool over them but are too fiscally responsible to buy one.  On these hot days they may be glad they resisted the plunge.

Free enterprise is great.  It is wonderful that such products are available for those who want to spend their money that way.  I will wait for a few more generations before I drink from that cup.
