Tesla Superchargers are reliable because it’s a closed system where the same party has control over the entire process.

Nice reply two months later.

They sell well. They just have lower maintenance requirements and fewer reliability issues that can be moneymakers for the service department. On top of which they need to retrain their service department.

Puerto Rican here.

You're telling me.  I'm still washing my hands like a surgeon about to perform surgery every hour.

I recently attempted to charge at a dealership’s free fast charger. Then I quickly put it down and washed my hands profusely.

Nowhere near as bad, but still annoying. I had a car tuned for 93, and a BP station put 87 in the 93 holding tank.

Regular maintenance is all it’s needed (same as its cousin, the V8…

5th gear: Why the hell would automakers advertise on their competitor's media?

I literally never knew that cranking was a sexual fetish, and now wish I didn't know.

“money laundering”

I am genuinely sad to see the Bolt eventually go, but I am stoked that I was able to grab a new EUV a few weeks back as my new dadmobile at a dealer that honored all the incentives.

Ford: “So, GM pulled this shit with the EV-1, and it totally didn’t fuck their image with EV’s...”

I might be missing something, but here goes:

Completely different battery packs and chemistries.

And uninsured.
