This is kind of why I feel like a plug-in hybrid (with decent electric range) is the best current day option for a lot of people. They can operate on full electric for daily commuting, but when they do need to drive 400+ miles for whatever reason they can still just hop in and go. 

It being easy is kind of the point.

It being fun is what I’m testing here, dingus. 

Agreed. It’s down .02% right now. This is click-bait material.

Raph, you need to join Erik in never again being allowed to talk about stocks.

Too bad you didn’t see the $25k car in 3 years.

Or realize you could get a model 3 for $37k, which is only $6k more than the median price of a new car in the U.S.

Or you could buy a CPO Model 3 for less.

Or you could just continue to read Jalopnik, not do any independent research, and remain bitter.

Nobody needs a six-figure car that runs 9s.

“Maybe that was the most lackluster cobbled-together unveil packed with outright lies I’ve ever seen and I don’t feel like dealing with Elon’s bullshit anymore.”

You have exclusive reporting that the Tesla presentation was ‘outright lies’!?  WOW! That’d be big news! Do tell!

With numbers like that, I might be inclined to have a healthy dose of skepticism about this whole thing, except you link the Lucid Air article right in the middle of this one.

“It’s absurd that anyone with $150,000 can just place an order for this level of rolling vehicular manslaughter from the factory. If you want to run faster than 12s, you should have to build it yourself.”

Do you also want me to get off your lawn?

The mistake you are making is you are trying to show that the WORST amongst people is a representation of the AVERAGE amongst people.

Remind me how much carbon it takes to refine one gallon of gasoline...

“If Tesla really gave a shit about saving the environment, it would open up its charging infrastructure to every electric car.”

I’m not convinced you are literate at all. The motherfucking conclusions, in big bold letters, are: “Electric cars are much cleaner than internal combustion engine cars over their lifetime,” “Battery manufacturing life-cycle emissions debt is quickly paid off,” and “Incorporating electric vehicle life-cycle…

Did you even read that article before posting it?

I mean, you could search and find out pretty good studies that take this into account for a total life cycle analysis. In the end, it ends up being a case of if you value total green house emissions vs land fill & recyclability vs total energy consumption. Electric cars come out ahead for emissions (even if your power…

So lets get this straight here.

OK Boomer.

Tesla is full of shit in self-driving, but your argument is to use a gif of a human going full idiot?

Can confirm that the headlights rock. I was pleasantly surprised because I loved my old HIDs but the model 3 LEDs are way better.
