1) Elon doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He didn’t create Tesla, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning did. He’s just riding the coattails of their genius after buying into Tesla and forcing them out. Most of what he says is just his fragile ego trying to justify it’s existence in a position he is not qualified to…

The police are often busy brutalizing the innocent while ignoring the guilty. That’s why they need to be defunded. A complete waste of black people's tax money.

They don’t have the votes because the corporatists sat on their hands while Republicans disenfranchised black people. Just like they're letting them all get away with their January 6th terror attack.

We have to. It’s all part of the plan of fear and obedience. Gotta keep the moderates in power using the threat of fascism to whip us into submission.

The supply of parts will only get better over time. The touchscreen shouldn’t be a hard fix, you just have to swap it out with a new one if it breaks. I haven't heard of people having to do that though. I would recommend getting a screen protector.

If you are actually using the range then you should charge it to 100. However, if you are not driving that far then you should charge it less. What matters most is how long the battery stays at a high level of charge. Charging up and using it immediately is fine.

You’re not following what I’m saying. Just watch the Sandy Munroe teardown.

If you enjoy technology, smooth acceleration, and efficiency, then it is immensely fun. My kids are endlessly entertained by it. I have never been bored of my Model 3. If you cannot find the fun in it, then that is on you.

If you start a car review expecting not to enjoy the car, guess what conclusion you’re going to come to?

Good luck getting a dealership to actually sell you one anywhere close to MSRP even after you custom ordered it and waited for delivery.

Enough are to make the average sale price $44k.

The average transaction price for an F-150 is $44k.

While probably true, there are no official statistics to support this.

I’m sure the original founders Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning weren’t big fans of it. But Elon took it away from them and this is the result.

As cool as those older cars are, I wouldn’t go for a first year 3 or Y, or a pre-2015 S or X. Honestly, the S and X were behind the 3 and Y in quality until about last year when they did all these updates. I can’t wait to see how long those generations of cars last, but since I have one I guess I have a front row seat…

The batteries are designed to last 500,000 miles, but that depends heavily on environmental factors and charging habits. If you baby the battery you’ll probably get close to if not the full 500,000 miles. If you Supercharge it to 100% everyday, then you’ll burn out the battery way faster. I don’t know if a 150,000…

No oil changes, brakes, transmission service, or spark plugs?

Seriously! Not having a transmission is my number one favorite Tesla features.

Have you ever tried deicer spray? Or remote start to heat it up?
