What was the difference between the route it gave you to charge, and an optimal route for an ICE vehicle?

You’re not mentioning that the 80% you charged to was your own decision.

The big issue is “how long it takes to refill”...My MR2 can hardly manage 210 miles on a tank, but I don’t care if I can fill up anywhere in a few minutes.

There’s a great line in Mad Men (from Roger of all people) saying “I bet there were people walking around in the Bible complaining about kids these days”.

OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD.

...hard reality is, that an electric car is a bit more complicated than an electric shaver with wheels... Tesla has 12 years experience in building electric cars, and it shows. They will keep upping the game, and if the other automakers won’t finally pull out their arms out of their asses they are pretty much doomed.

I’ve been hearing of Tesla competition and Tesla killers from Chevrolet, Kia, Hyundai, Jaguar, Mercedes and now add Porsche to that list and you know which of them has managed to actually compete not to let alone surpass Tesla? NONE. ZERO!

Just buy the Tesla already. You won’t regret it.

I very recently drove from Jacksonville to Miami along I-95 and the Florida Turnpike, a trip that takes roughly 5 hours, using the auto-pilot feature in my Tesla 3 for the majority of the trip. By that I mean roughly 95% of the five hour trip.

Then Superman comes in ...

I think it could have worked with McQueen if he played it similarly to his Magnificent Seven character (with a little Great Escape mixed in). That character was obviously a deadly gunslinger, but goofy enough to banter.

It’s hilarious that such cool, laid-back, unaffected, antihero heroes were actually bigger divas than Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in real life.

I am only vaguely remembering this from the DVD special features, I believe McQueen was originally offered the part of Butch, with Newman playing Sundance and both were locked in until, as the article points out, a top billing dispute.

McQueen in The Driver makes a ton of sense but he’d already done Bullet, so I can see why he was reluctant. And the credit thing is hilarious. Some serious dick-swinging there...

Apart from their looks, both (Newman and Redford) had weapons-grade charisma, and that’s what I remember from this movie - they’re just so charming.

Starred for wholesome thought! ;-)

Essentially NHTSA is antagonizing Tesla for putting crash safety front and center, using NHTSA’s own system.

Don’t forget 1. Outside.

Saw the movie yesterday. Tarantino has done something I did not know he was capable of: making an incredibly boring movie.

I feel like most major automakers are currently scrambling to (create electric cars)!
