How were you able to post this from 1972?

Three years into Tesla ownership and the only maintenance I’ve had is refilling wiper fluid and rotating the tires.  I hope you’re not repeating the bad experience of someone else as a lazy joke!  Wouldn’t what that, would we?

If a spot or garage is tight in general, I will pull in, or back in, as appropriate, keeping my passenger side pretty door close to another vehicles’ passenger side - so close as to generally prevent access from this side (but more than like, 3 inches). This will preserve maximum driver side door space for all parties…

It doesn’t “damage” it, but it’s not good for the long term health of the battery to do it routinely.  I charge mine to 75% and it’s never an issue.  I do 100% for road trips a couple times a year, with no issues.  Just like you wouldn’t floor your gas pedal at every light just because the car can go 0-60 in 4…

The currently technology sucks. It’s fine for essentially adaptive cruise control, but I’d never trust it to actually drive itself. Hell I’ve never even used Smart Summon in an empty parking lot. Source: Model 3 owner.

This was my first thought - this guy’s got to have $950,000 (roughly the annual write off) in taxable income for the write off to be worth it. Furthermore you could pull similar tax shenanigans by buying the thing and financing it - write off the the interest expense and depreciation, then taking a capital loss when…

when you had it all strapped down did you at least give it a good shake and say “that’s not going anywhere”?

Let’s wait and see. Our venal instincts here may not be correct. 

Eh - all else equal it’s better to be in the S&P 500. Being in those index funds increases your stock’s overall liquidity, which is important for institutional investors.  In the grand scheme though, especially for sometime still as large as HOG, it’s pretty immaterial. 

Don’t....don’t call it husband/wife

Cool man glad it works for you. I’ve been in them and they’re nice. It’s interesting how people have different needs for transportation and how the market has come up with different solutions for the various needs.  

Looks like this isn’t the right car for you, then. I live in an urban area with small garages and parking spots and crowded streets.  I have 2 small children, and so need a vehicle with a low step in height.  An F-150 (even a quad cab) just won’t work for me.  Frankly I’m not even sure why they make them. 

ain’t nothing more expensive than a cheap European car

You really think people are buying $50-60K (or more!) EVs to save a couple hundred bucks a year on gas? Remember electricity is cheaper than oil as a vehicle fuel but it isn’t free.  This barely moves the needle. 

Not Tesla!  Even ignoring autopiliot, the frequency with which it goes from neck jerking acceleration to full braking, and back again, is stunning. 

You can bitch about alpha-numeric naming systems all you want, but seriously Cadillac I have no idea what a given name represents.  I’m looking at their website now and I guess I do see a method to their madness, but it’s go to be the worst combo of names out there (Lexus is a close second). 

Actually the f-king nutz cost extra

Once sat down at a place and they said (upfront) the AC is out in the kitchen, it’s already 140 back there, so we’ve only got what we can make cold (no oven, range, or fryer).  I think they could use the toaster. 

Isn’t it HectoTexas, KiloTexas, and MegaTexas first?

Minor note but the PHEV Pacifica gets the full $7,500 EV tax credit, which brings the price back in line.
