First off, you are the pot calling the kettle black. 2nd, I would argue that the increase in commenters’ negativity is a reaction to the increase in the inanity of the quality of the articles. This article is drivel. Wow, a celebrity didn’t want to be used for free to stand next to a vehicle to promote his movie?!…

Musk is a clear example of someone who is good at one thing thinking he’s good at everything and making an ass of himself at every opportunity as a result.

Your headlines could use moderating. This particular one would not be considered well in an office and headlines like that, in big, bold print, will simply get the site blocked from more corporate locations. As an aside, do the authors really think that the language used entices people to the site? Is that what you…

If you can’t charge at home, or don’t have a convenient place nearby to charge, then I agree with your point that an EV isn’t the right choice. However, after driving an EV, just about any EV, getting back into a conventional ICE car feels like a lawn tractor. And eliminating the weekly gas station visit isn’t…

Electric vehicles do not suit the driving style of most non-coastal Americans.

SLC, Phoenix, Denver, Omaha, Dallas, KC, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago, Indy, Cleveland, Cincy, Birmingham, Atlanta. Just some major non-coastal cities where daily commuting from the ‘burbs to work and back are a regular thing. Highly suited for even low-range EV’s. 

I love this argument, suddenly everyone has these visions of cross-country driving when 99% of their time spent using their vehicle is locally or to work. There are EV charging stations positioned conveniently at plazas w/food and groceries nationwide, they have actually maps and suggested routes that rarely if ever…

“most of the electric cars currently on the market are more expensive than the average new-car transaction price”

Is that the cable channel with the people addicted to eating toilet paper, or the other one with similarly useless reality shows?

Drivability & nice power delivery as well.

Every Honda feels more than the numbers. The manual transmissions especially are almost always really smartly geared so you’re generally in the powerband without sacrificing efficiency.

They’re just really good at building cars that work really, really well as cars.

after the $1000 fine, the HOA will probably go after placing a lein on the property.

The best way to have a good HOA is to be involved in it. 

Maybe I’m a piece of shit, but I think the HOA is being reasonable here. They have a policy regarding RVs in their community. The nurse and her husband chose to violate that policy without reaching out to the HOA in advance. HOA enforced their policy. Nurse and husband reached out to the HOA, which told them that they…

You guys really are incapable of writing a positive...or even lukewarm...article about Tesla aren’t you?

It’s easy to make something look pretty if it will never actually reach production.

Neither of those places are decent.

What rural area do you live that $100k can get you a entry level home that isn’t falling to pieces???

Thank you for this sensible comment. You obviously understand R&D as well as manufacturing/production ramp up.

Much innovation came about as answers to questions nobody asked.
