    Uh no. You literally be living under a rock? The Model S came out in 2012, got a slight refresh in 2016, and a major change in 2021. Model X came out in 2016 and got a major change in 2021. And they are no longer the bread and butter of Teslas revenue.....that goes to the Model 3 which came out in 2017 and the Model Y

    It isn’t because the cables aren’t live with 400 VDC if nobody is actively charging. And copper thieves are only stealing the cables when nobody is around.

    Right, because you could never weaponize a gas station in a similar or easier way...... say like zip tieing a gas pump handle to let all the gas flow out and have a bunch of ballons and carpet to cause static discharges....

    There are plenty of parking spots for the destination people want to go. This “issue” is how far are people willing to walk from where they park to their ultimate destination? For the average person, they don’t want to park more than 1/4 mile away which is about 15 minutes of walking. This is why “last mile” personal

    You really have no concept of just how hard it is and don’t realize the history of rocket science in general which includes a lot of failures and explosions that occurred with NASA early in its history that led up to the Saturn V. The fact is what SpaceX is doing has not been done in the history of mankind and the

    Letting friends/family/neighbors/delivery people into your garage when you’re away.

    It is so you have access to the status of the garage door when you’re away (ie. did I leave the garage door open????), and you can open and close it remotely to do stuff like letting a friend/neighbor/delivery person into your garage/home for whatever reason. If you already have a smart front door lock then great, but

    Luxury is simply defined by price when it comes to official studies and surveys within the industry, not what your subjective view of “luxury” means. Because paying more money for a metal box on wheels or any product really is the definition of luxury.

    Someone needs to educate this politician and the rest of the public that EVs are actually more efficient and can go for much much longer in stop and go traffic since EVs don’t “idle” when stopped and can recuperate a lot of its energy from stopping constantly. 

    How exactly is a 3-series or C-Class objectively better than a Model 3?

    My interior after 120,000 miles and over 4 years has been fine. The vegan leather hasn’t cracked, all the headliner is still in place, the steering wheel is still intact, and all the panel gaps are still in the same place when I first got it.

    Uhh yes? Functionality and usefulness is always going to better than interior design and other subjective items. What good is your luxurious, elegant, and better-looking Porche Taycan or BMW i7 if you get stranded on a road trip because non-Tesla DC fast charging is complete crap? What good is your expensive mansion

    Placing blame on a group of people based on actions that have nothing to do with the original story is completely idiotic of you. That’s just as stupid and illogical as complaining about Hispanics illegally crossing the border, taking your jobs, etc. in response to a mass shooting that targeted Hispanics. You are

    Credit to the Tesla engineers (not Elon) for designing a safe vehicle that saved everybody in this crash. All other vehicles that have plunged down this cliff their occupants have died.

    Tough shit for those people that lost out and didn’t play their cards right in the Tesla car market. They ultimately decided to pay for the high price. What Tesla might lose with a few pissed off loser customers they will gain much more customers who now have been able to take advantage of the price drops. That’s

    This is bad, and it’s just one example of how facial recognition could be used to infringe on peoples’ rights”

    First, using possibly the worst EV as a gauge for how the entire EV market is just dumb. Other EVs obviously offer more range and handle colder weather much better thru the use of heat pumps (which the Leaf doesn’t have). Second, the Leaf still served your driving needs this morning correct since I am assuming you

    And all 3 of those are cars/brands are easily over $100k which only compete with the Plaid S and Plaid X. The bread and butter of Tesla and the general car market are the cars within the $50k range which goes back to how/why Tesla leads the EV market by a wide margin.

    Define “surpassed”. Tesla still outsells all other OEM EVs by a large margin.

    Yeah... under-cutting a used market that is insanely over inflated to begin with is not that big. The used car market bubble had to burst sometime.
