Mach-e for Road Trips just sucks. Not even close. More expensive than gas

[Old_Norm]

It still generally comes out cheaper than my previous vehicle when you factor charging much cheaper to 100% before and after. AKA less DC charging needed than fuel stops.

But apparently two people really want to solve if people are or are not too stupid to own EVs.

No, just the opposite. You should feel proud that you belong to a group that is more educated than the average ICE vehicle owner. ?

Here is the same true statement that I’ll make myself-
“People with college degrees are more likely to buy a gas powered car than those without a degree.”

Have you lost your mind? If people with college degrees (57%, your number) are buying gas powered cars then what are the the 43% without college and less likely to buy a gas powered car buying; bikes, go carts, Big Wheels?

Damn, even with my aero nightmare aftermarket wheels and 275 tires I get better efficiency than that. My GT-PE runs 2.4-2.6 mi/KWh on a trip, mostly ~74mph. ?‍?

I've got elevation variance. Uphill it gets 1.8 mi/kWh and downhill 2.6 mi/kWh. Round trip average is 2.2 mi/kWh. Adaptive cruise control set to flow of traffic; about 83 MPH.

The 392 Charger averages 21 MPG on the same route at the same speed. 18 gal tank gets over 370 miles range.

Used cars.

All these numbers are surveys of New car buyers.

Still not sure why this particular thing seems to matter so much. I’m out. ?‍

Where in your "true" statement did you mention new or used cars? As they say, when you've reached bottom stop digging. Good luck getting out.

So your quote is about new car buyers but you magically turn all non college degree holders into used car buyers. Common sense is not your friend. Getting out is the most intelligent thing you've done in this thread.
