I’ve only been riding for twenty years or so, but I’ve never heard of this. The wave I give is entirely dependent on what I’m riding and what’s going on in the moment. I’ve given every wave from none (sorry, I need my hands right now) to a big ol’ up in the sky full five fingered wave (my hands weren’t on the bike…

Easy. Two door mk5 Rabbit.

Are they expecting that many golf balls up there?

I pay $0.11/kWh at home. Most Tesla Superchargers are $0.35-0.45/kWh. If it were between the ‘gas station experience’, and a standard row of superchargers, I’d save the money.

My stepfather, one of the blandest, most uncool guys I’ve ever met, had an absolutely rad 70-something C3 Corvette with t-tops and big, chrome sidepipes. It smelled like mouse nests and I loved it. He dropped me off to elementary school with it a few times and I felt awesome melting my shoes getting out of that thing.…

That guy was such a toolbox. Just seeing this gif makes my eyes roll so hard I’m worried one will fall out.

Cybertruck aside, I’m with you. I can’t stand to look at these GM twins.

Mission accomplished!

I’ll take mine in the Performance trim please:

Just realized I’ve never actually seen the interior of one of these. That dash, yikes.

I like this idea a lot. Like the auto up/down window switch, half a pull for the electric popper and just a full pull on the exact same handle for a mechanical release. You’d get more accidental mechanical openings from passengers unfamiliar with the car, but it would be super intuitive in a panic situation.

I can’t wait to watch this. I won’t do it in the office, this deserves five minutes of dedicated peace and quiet.

My apologies, allow me to clarify. In two and a half years and 35,000 miles I’ve done tires and a cabin filter. That’s one drop off/pick up for the tires and about ten minutes in the driveway for the filter. Now you have the full maintenance list. In relation to the other vehicles I’ve owned and the ones I currently…

This is what I like about my Model 3 Performance. Brutal, punishing power is just a press of the pedal away, but it drives as gently as you like with a lighter foot. There’s no wrangling of a high horsepower engine, no concern of managing power through a rev range, no noise or fanfare, it’s just quietly on tap for…

I didn’t say zero maintenance, I said less. Brakes are practically a lifetime part, regen does the vast majority of the slowing. Tires get changed when they run down and if suspension components wear or fail during my ownership I’ll address them. I still have ICE vehicles, there’s a stark difference in maintenance.

I made a provision for ‘odd circumstances’ where the additional range is handy. And you’ve listed some. But in a temperate climate for a commuter who drives 50 miles a day and lives in a house with an available 240V outlet? No need. The Tesla supercharger network is already more than enough to get around the whole…

Oh absolutely, Lucid is doing great. But apply that same effort to half the battery weight and the numbers only get better.

I’d be willing to bet that a great many people who’ve been waiting for 500, 600, 700 miles of range will end up realizing that they are just lugging enormous amounts of superfluous battery the vast majority of the time. I get that there are some odd circumstances where that capacity would be useful, but road tripping…

Funny. I can’t think of something I wouldn’t rather drive than walk. I guess I don’t have any principles or standards, I’ll drive any fool thing. 

Lol I have a Wrangler and I’d love one with electric drive and solid axles. But mine goes rock crawling so maybe I’m not the guy to ask.
