I agree with you 100% on all points. The Tesla is worth the price for the seats alone. I’ve thought of buying another one just to take out the seats and put them in my living room. I think the hate springs from envy.

You can put lipstick on a pig. It is still a pig.

Almost no runways handling transport planes are that short. The shortest runway I ever flew commercial in and out of was in Key West. 4500 feet. In a B737-200 no less. That would be considered snug for many Lear Jets for example.

A lot of speed cameras help enforce that. They allow only a 5 kmh leeway. And the fines are stiff.

Big cultural differences. Like the “travel right” concept lost on Americans. It is ingrained. Anything else is just not done in Germany.

I went to a three day seminar on edged weapon defense hosted by Tom Sipin. Many people in the martial arts community will recognize the name. The first thing he said is you will get cut. Most of the first day was spent on techniques to minimize the damage.

He said he would like to be taxed more? Yet no-one is preventing him from writing a check to the treasury department in the amount he thinks he should be paying.

THIS !!!

I can tell you are not from around here. Police don’t make traffic stops anymore here. They are too busy solving shootings in the ‘hood.

I second that!

You misspelled GUD. It is GUT.

I don’t get it. There are companies springing up all over the US that are repairing/recycling those batteries at a fraction of the cost.

Those types of trucks don’t have automatic transmissions in the classic sense. You may see Allison’s on class 5-8 straight trucks in many applications but rarely on long haul tractors. They often have manu-matics. Auto shifting gearboxes. Usually 9 or 10 speeds. More fuel efficient. Also compression brakes. I sold…

The tesla model 3 SR+ is rated at 143 MPGE. I believe that tops the charts. At least in the US using the EPA rating.
