 plenty of people don't really like their EVs.  Evidence: consignment lots
have plenty of them at good prices.  New car sales are showing plenty of
demand for gasoline cars, particularly high-end gasoline cars.

### Surveys show very high loyalty to the electric powertrain, over 90% of
EV owners intend to buy electric again.  Once you go electric, you don't go
back. I would never consider switching from my Tesla back to the Vette. Gas
cars are just too slow, noisy, ugly, stinky, unreliable and expensive to
keep running.

Last quarter had the highest ever percentage of EV registrations in CA at
29%.

Stories of the EV "slump" are much exaggerated.
