Saying better range means you might not fully know what you’re talking about. The Bolt’s 238 mile range is indeed ‘better’ than the base Model 3's proported 220 mile range, but there’s one thing that makes the Tesla far better for long-distance drives: the Supercharger.

15 year-old car company has more trouble than a 109 year-old car company? Shocker.

You’re spot on. The only thing I would add is that wrecks likely happen all the time due to plain-old cruise control - but we don’t know because it’s not a Tesla and there are no logs that can be pulled easily to tell.

Meanwhile people in non-Teslas wreck all. the. time. with their cruise control engaged, yet this isn’t even a blip on the news because it’s not something that happened in a Tesla. Stop getting caught up in the media frenzy and letting it decide your opinion for you.

Thank you for the title of this article. It’s the first title that included the fact that Autopilot warned the driver multiple times.

I know, right? Stop trying to move us to a sustainable, renewable energy system and please stop trying to prevent Global Warming, Elon! What a prick!

I hope you’re right if it comes to that. I do NOT want Tesla to be bought be a car manufacturer.

Guys, a lot of people aren’t taking delivery of the initial batch of RWD LR Model 3s because they are waiting for the standard range model, the AWD model, the Ludicrous model or a white interior.

A little bit, sure. But I rarely go 40 or above for more than a minute in Austin. The lights here catch you every time, 100% of the time, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and it’s such a beat down. :-)

Electric motors become generators if you spin them. These are used in place of friction brakes and the newly-generated electricity goes back into the battery.

I saw that Honda going down the road in Austin the other day and did a double-take. What a truly heinous vehicle. Turbo-charged engines, no electric car leadership/development and god-awful car designs. Honda (and Mazda and Toyota) have truly lost their way.

The overall diameter of the 18", 19" and new 20" wheels is the same. What makes the larger wheels less efficient is the sticky sport-oriented tires that go on those performance wheels.

Also keep in mind that these wheel covers only give you a significant gain if you’re going at highway speeds. In city travelling, or stop-n-go traffic, you wouldn’t see any gain at all, really.

Probably my favorite part.

As a white guy named Chad, I giggled at who this article was written to.

Want efficiency and linear power *and* you’re not destroying the planet with an absolutely awful form of energy? Go electric.

It’s even possible with lower-range EV’s too, then! :-) Thanks.

Honda’s Insight came out before the Prius, so it’s the other way around. Also, hybrid cars tend to have that same boxy shape because it’s good at cutting through the air while having ample interior space.

Dear Honda,

People also forget that you won’t need charging everywhere for EVs once their range gets high enough. If you own a Model 3 LR, you probably don’t have to charge at your apartment every night - rather you go to a Supercharger once a week or so for normal use. Just like any other car.
