Tesla also gives out shitty trade-in offers. I got a trade-in quote for my old Prius when I got my Model 3. 1/3 of blue book value. I just sold it third-party and dealt with the hassle.

Wait, he doesn’t even own one? Jesus. I still think the craziest Tesla fans are the ones that have never had one of their cars. I have a Model 3, and it’s fantastic, especially for the price, but it’s definitely not infallible, and neither is the company.
Tesla performance models get less range than the long range ones, and so do Ford’s. A Model Y Performance gets 303 miles from an 82kWh battery pack, while the Long Range gets 326 miles from the same battery. That’s mostly due to the larger wheels absolutely killing range at highway speeds (the Performance Y actually…
They’ve gotta be trolling us with that.
“Come and take it” bumper stickers exist, and can go on any car.
I think the OP was talking about cars, and battery-swapping cars is a terrible idea. You lose a lot of structural integrity, battery performance, and interior space for something that most owners will hardly ever use.
Except when was the last time any advanced electronics used AA batteries? Computers, phones, smartwatches, etc all use specialized batteries, because they’re better.
The Fit.
Not just the taillights, but one of the best rear ends of any car ever.
US EV sales rose last year while the whole car market shrank 16%. And up until this point, the only EV selling in any significant volume has been the Tesla Model 3/Y. Now there’s the ID.4, Mach-E, new Bolt EUV, and more models from Kia/Hyundai coming soon.
Except EVs are already here and selling in large numbers, and carmakers have defined, executable plans regarding their production. By the end of the decade, most new car sales in the US, Europe, and China will be electric. You couldn’t say the same thing about Level 4 self-driving in 2015, it didn’t exist at all and…
I’ve never understood why people like these horrifically tacky “luxury” interiors in their cars. You wouldn’t catch me dead with white quilted leather armchairs and RGB lighting accents in my living room, so why would I think it looked classy in cars?
Edmunds tests cars in different conditions than one another and uses a 60% city, 40% highway driving cycle. It’s a pretty inaccurate way to estimate real-world range. In the carwow video, they drive all 3 cars together in a convoy on the highway, driving like normal people, until each one of them dies. You can’t get a…
Covering any piano black trim inside with something matte.
It’s called a product-light approach to production. Get with the times.
Bankrolled by a massive corporation AND the largest, most repressive government in the world!
Yeah, that’s why larger vehicles including heavy-duty trucks should have both an EV and a hydrogen option. Hydrogen is worse for pretty much any passenger car but it makes much more sense than batteries for anything that carries a ton of weight.
A larger, less-aerodynamic vehicle with a larger battery will have a lot less impact on its range when it’s towing. Think of how much more power you need to tow a trailer with a hatchback, whereas a full-size truck will tow the same trailer like it’s nothing. A 400-mile pickup should get 200-250 miles with that same…
Have you owned an EV? I have one. I didn’t buy it because of government subsidies (there were none). I bought it because after one test drive every other comparably priced car felt slow, jerky, and loud. And an electric truck with 250 miles of range (150 miles when towing), a 6-foot bed, and a $40k price tag would…
