In response to Kristen Lee’s comment about the white interior not lasting, countless drivers of Model S and Model X with white interiors say that it holds up shockingly well.  A couch is not a car.

The i3 is an ugly derp-box because BMW wasn’t fully invested in electric and only made that car to satisfy lawmakers. Make it ugly and it won’t compete with their bread-n-butter 3-Series.

You get what you pay for, and this is coming from an Android guy.  An iPhone may be pricey, but they update devices for *years* after the sale.  They really do support their products.

Hating EVs and their owners is also a first world problem.  It’s also rampant on this blog.

Driving any manual in dead-stop traffic sucks. {leers at Civic Si in driveway} Can’t wait to get my Model 3.

That was a pretty smug comment, there.  Maybe you should put that stone down.

EVs have a trick up their sleeve - the interior is typically larger than you expect because there’s no engine in the front.  The Bolt is a good example.  It’s downright cavernous inside compared to it’s appearance.

I’m replacing my white ‘09 Civic Si sedan with a Model 3 shortly. Good riddance to my oil burning, CMC-destroying, dino juice drinking relic. Also, I should have *never* bought a manual while living in Austin. Dallas was fine, but it’s just awful here in never-ending traffic.

Emissions control is like putting lipstick on a pig.  We have to stop burning oil entirely, and they all know it - they just refuse because money.

This article, brought to you by the blog that regularly dismisses electric cars (especially in the comments).

This happens all the time at other manufacturers.  It’s just not Tesla, so it’s not in the news.

Also, Chevrolet makes *exactly* the amount of Bolts in order to get CARB credits, and no more. This was predicted long ago. It’s simply to meet regulation requirements - if Chevy had their way they’d crush every Bolt made to get back to gas-only cars, just like they did with the EV-1.

But but but it was on the internet so it has to be scary! /s

British, yes. Electric, no. Gas powered cars are 10x more likely to catch fire.

Base model AWD should be available by the end of this year, according to Tesla. Not 3 years.

They also seem to skip the part where, once you drive 240 miles, there’s really nowhere to quickly charge it here in the USA because Jaguar doesn’t have a charging infrastructure like Tesla. Also, it’s no secret that Jalopnik doesn’t like Tesla because their cars don’t burn dinosaur juice.

Why would a futuristic car....have a gasoline engine?

You lost my attention at “Fiat”
Also at “Fiat turbo” and “Italy”

Yet Tesla will be just fine. The news goes *nuts* over timelines, but at the end of the day people want Teslas and Teslas are being built faster and faster.

The USA would also have to be less independent-minded (read: selfish). It’s amazing what a society can do when it’s goals are for the betterment of all.
