An EV powered by coal is, at worst, as bad as a normal ICE in terms of CO2. Plus the pollution is occurring away from a city center and is being passed through mandated, state-of-the-art pollution scrubbers.

This guy, however, gets it.

I feel like reviewers should stop listing the MSRP as $35,000 until it’s actually possible to purchase such thing.

If the shit hit the fan, someone would buy Tesla. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. 

No. It’s 2018. The original Model S was a 2012. This won’t launch until 2020. So, it’s either 6 or 8 years late, depending on whether you count from press release or actual deliveries.

Stock in the company is not a loan...you’re actually buying part of the company! Tesla does not have to “repay” this loan whatsoever.

P85D, because I hate the speedo in the center screen that damn much.

Kristen, Patrick, Ryan, and Michael, if you had to choose between a Performance 3 or a preowned P85D (they are around the same price, $70K) which would you choose?

It probably didn’t catch on since there are simpler solutions

Is there any other kind?

That final bit was completely heartbreaking. I don’t know why I watch this show anymore; it’s got moments of greatness that can only be found by slogging through hours of pretty predictable writing.

Personally I was hoping for Avril Lavigne although I have no idea where in Canada she is from.
