I was wondering why GM/Ford/Chrysler would not partner with Tesla to adapt their electric cars to these super-charger stations. It would seem like a no brainer. A relatively cheap solution to the range limitations of EV’s. I actually like the Bolt over the Model 3 (that interior is just too weird for me), and the…

Range isn’t the only thing or even the main thing. It’s battery tech and cost.

These supercharger stations are too Interstate intensive in the American west. A lot of the really interesting things to see out where the tumbleweeds blow are nowhere near the four-lanes. I hope they make an effort to start populating rural areas with more superchargers.

It’s not that it doesn’t have a grill, it’s that they left space for it. It’s a poor execution. If they would have made it a smooth transition from the hood to the actual grill instead of that sharp cut-off and blunt front end it would have looked much better and you wouldn’t be hearing any complaints.

IMO the Model 3's exterior design is many times higher quality than previous Teslas and more in line with actual car manufacturers’ standards. You can tell that they’ve already put in serious design man hours into it.

IMO the car would be better served with a faux grille; it just seems like the blank space is missing something

They could have put a beveled edge that showed the Tesla logo on the front to break it up. Sort of extrude it right in the middle. Having the badge on the hood just sort of looks wrong in the case.

The Type 3 and Caravelle worked because they had bumpers, though, to break up the space. The Tesla just looks like it’s been cut off, or punched in the nose. I suppose they could have added script across it like the Caravelle, but as the most forward piece of the front, that doesn’t seem like it would work, either.

I find the lack of front grill deeply unsettling. I understand that it isn’t needed, but if so then why does it look like they had it designed for a grill but then just didn’t cut it out of the plastic or whatever. It has the outline of a grill, but no grill. I think it would look better with a more sloped nose…

It looks weird ... my biggest issue with the model 3 is the lack of gauges and the interior ergonomics. I am willing to forgive the looks, but ergonomics seems awful. No buttons on the steering wheel? A heads up display would be nice at minimum.

No. It wasn’t then, and it isn’t now. Great car nonetheless.

NO, IT IS NOT.

Isn’t that an automaker charge in the traditional model, anyway? As in, doesn’t the OEM charge the dealer that fee, and then it’s just passed on to the consumer?

According to reports, Police were performing their Civic duty by Piloting a search for evidence. They are asking for people to come forward with any Insight on the case. Workers were asked to stay home until the workplace was deemed Fit to return to.

How about fuck you no. As a supporter of the brothers in blue, fuck this guy. Stop making a bad name for those that are actually there to protect and serve.

I asked my bank account. This was it’s reply.

With some tires and little suspension, anything can be an adventure bike:

Hello, according to you I’m an “ignornat shit-talker”. I don’t even hate the Tesla. I may buy one in a couple years because EVs may soon be a great substitute for a commuter car that never goes more than 150 or so miles per day.
