You should change the title to

You completely missed the main and ONLY criticism outlined by this police department which was size. They are expecting a Full size Ford explorer type of SUV for their duties, not a smaller sized crossover/CUV type of thing. Additionally all of those other things you substituted as “issues” aren’t issues at all since…

Uhhh.... so now you’re claiming that you’re not particularly stressed about roadtrips but you literally just said....
“Like road trips are already stressful enough trying to plan out your route to see everything you want.....”

I don’t know what map you’re looking at but there are over 25+ Tesla superchargers on the way to Carlsbad. For me I simply charged up overnight at a destination charger in my hotel but I could have easily charged at a SC if I wanted to. But I chose not to since it’s a lot more easier just to charge at the place you…

Judging by the Model 3 pre-orders that were $1000, then probably hundreds of thousands of pre-orders.

Sounds like if you are already stressed out about roadtrips in general than you shouldn’t be going on roadtrips in the first place. For regular people that take typical roadtrips an EV (specifically Tesla) is completely fine since the supercharger network in the US not only covers the vast majority of the areas but is…

Your girl and her girlfriends planned very poorly or just suck on roadtrip planning in general since I’ve driven in my Model 3 performance from central Texas to Carlsbad just fine since there are plenty of superchargers along the way.... even more so than CCS chargers from Electrify America. An EV is perfectly fine on…

The idea is ok, but you need to modify it to really ban personal use cars. “Essential” vehicles like delivery trucks, police, ambulance, fire etc. should still be allowed to make sure the city can actually function. Eliminating personal use cars within the city would eliminate nearly all the bad congestion and…

Yes it is especially since 1) you can and should de-frost the door handles beforehand using the app, 2) icing like this does not regularly occur that much anyways, and 3) plenty of other cars even before the Model 3 came out already had flush door handles.

It’s obvious this only concerns Tesla since they are the only ones with flush door handles. Never mind the Nissan GTR, Acura NSX, Jaguar F-Type, Lexus LC, Range Rover, Rivian, Polestar, Ashton Martin etc etc etc etc.....

#13: I have a strong feeling that the younger generation 10 years from now that only know about EVs and have never driven a gas car will have this reaction as excellently demonstrated by Jason from Engineering Explained:

Not knowing where my car is. Now I can just look exactly where it is through my car’s phone app. Good knowing that a sequel to “Dude Where’s my Car?” will never be made.

You hit the nail on the head. A “luxury” car that is more performance oriented will by its nature have features that is not as good for another car focused on chauffeuring a passenger. Good example is using carbon fiber performance bucket seats vs big soft leather heated/cooling massage seats.

It’s all about what you value more, form or function? I agree that the interior materials and the looks for Tesla is not as “luxurious” as the ones used by the other traditional luxury OEMs, but Tesla instead focuses their money and resource on actual function of the vehicle (ie. performance, maintaince, software upgra…

I technically hypermilled behind an 18-wheeler one time for about 30 minutes late at night. I just set auto cruise control on with a following distance of around 2 to 3 car lengths. Apparently this 18 wheeler driver was scared shitless of this mysterious black car tailing him for 30 minutes that he called the cops on…

Thing is when the vast majority of drivers all drive more aggressively and dangerously, then someone else actually driving more safely is deemed to just be dangerous just because they didn’t conform to all the dangerous sheep. You see this in LA where everybody drives 15-20 mph over the speed limit but if you actually…

Giving people something to gawp at would actually make the entire situation more unsafe since you’ll be distracted by the car instead of paying attention to the road. So no, get that old slow crappy metal death box out of the freeway and on side roads.

5th gear: As long as those GM dealerships install those level 2 chargers in areas and businesses where people normally leave their car parked for many hours anyways, then I don’t see a problem. Think hotels, amusement parks, university campuses, shopping malls, movie theatres, etc. Programs and efforts like this will…

Range will catch up to whatever that is in your head since all you need to do is stuff more batteries into your vehicle. You just need to pay more for it.

Love the equating that “oh its fine because I did the same thing too and that must mean everybody else also did this stupid thing thus thereby making it completely normal”. No dude, not everybody is as stupid as you when we were younger since some of us actually had some common sense and logic to not do said stupid…
