I get ~10-15 seconds of complete ‘hands-off’ semi-autonomous Level 2 driving in my 2019 Hyundai before it shouts and complains and I have to put my hands back on the wheel. Its more than long enough for me to open a water bottle cap or unfold my sunglasses.

Once every other week like a paycheck.

I typically agree with outside of the rent a truck for $20 to get shit home from the lumber yard case.

I commented above about my Dad’s workaround. HOA denied putting a charger on the outside of his house but approved a hose reel. He mounted the charger in the center of the hose reel and uses the reel to wrap up the charging cable. No one has noticed for the few months it has been up.

Now this I could get behind.

I 100% recognized that I am an outlier - I drive ~600 miles in a day bi-weekly. Sometimes more often, sometimes less, but averaging bi-weekly I’ll drive to one side of my state and back in a day. For that reason I bought a hybrid and not an EV.

Like the Volt / Insight / Accord hybrids?

That’s like 10 Miles/Hour extended range capability right there!

Thank you much for commenting from experience!

Yeah, I can’t wait for the electrification of the urban fleet of trucks. 50 miles seems like it should be plenty of range for most city trucks - they’re going to get full far sooner than that.

Log in on an incognito mode. I think it has something to so with cookies / old data etc.

Yeah, the degree is a pass / fail. The option within the degree of using grades or just assigning a pass / fail is gaining traction. I’ll find a source outside of personal experience for you later in the day.

Oy - enjoy your life since you don’t seem to understand the point.

I’m not defending all of Tesla’s specific statements. I don’t think I ever stated I agreed with the ‘lowest probability of injury’ claim but rather that I simply agreed with the ‘5 stars is the safest’ claim.

Side note. -est as a suffix is applied to represent the ‘superlative degree’ of something.

Prove a car which is safer using the reported rankings from the tests.

They can claim that they have the safest car - the agency gave them 5/5 stars.

The tests don't define against what they have said. 

The point is with a shorter range there are more opportunities to gouge EVs than with gas vehicles who could just choose to keep driving. 

Binning implies you can’t tell the difference. Once binned, if given no more information, all things in the bin are the same. Hence where we are with ‘5 star’ crash ratings.
