Pfft. Nothing drives EVs off the road in Cali like “rolling blackouts”

Especially with all the EV anxiety 

Nah. Human nature is to be manipulated by a “special deal”. That’s why coupons work. That’s why BOGO works. That’s why “ here is $12000 to buy a senseless, less practical vehicle” works...

The math is a little implausible. 

“Tahoe" was taken already....

It’s a $1500 car with no discerniblereason for asking this much.

CBP is just more professional than their Canadian counterparts. 

Oh it was like that long before Trump came along. We got stopped years ago on a motorcycle tour.... One guy stupidly had a trivial bit of pot so the other dozen of us got hazed for 7 hours over it. The Canuck border agents doing the hazing were all McGill summer students giggling over how much grow-light reefer they…

This kind of Petty “chip on shoulder” is pervasive at the border going in. The US CBP can be prix but at lease they are consistent in their administration of the rules. The canuck border officers can be super-nice... or complete condescending a-holes. It makes zero sense.

I used to love going up there, but even pre-COVID it had turned into a complete pain in the arse. The misery meted out for no apparent reason?  Hardly worth going even though I like Montreal and Vancouver. 

And yet I can pump 36 gallons into my Suburban anywhere in under 5 minutes and travel close to 600 miles.

Reagan didn't let China into WTO....

The point of reference is "Amazon Distribution Center" jobs....

Also in State Police HQ, since runaway Tesla's seem to like running into Highway Patrol cars. 

A Versa has a nicer interior

Yep. This. For the mass market the Tesla line is nowhere close to competing with an Insight or a hybrid Toyota 

Not with three hour charge times to full

Sales are pretty flat. The Cult guys always throw out superlatives but same market sales are in decline.

And ambitions 

Maybe an “affordable electric car” shouldn’t have 8000 laptop batteries in it?
