Back about 25 years ago, I knew someone who was a courier for a bank which had major branches in Kansas City and Denver. He loaded up his Accord with bank documents in KC, drove to Denver to do the drop-off, and drove back with documents headed the other way.

Going ~621,000 miles on the last battery pack is fairly impressive, if you ask me, and shows the evolution of Tesla’s battery pack as they get more long-term data back.

Yeah I was waiting for the sarcastic punchline on this, and it never came. 

I should’ve stopped reading the first time Erin offered excuses for criminal behavior. But I kept reading and found more of it.

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve caught a fatigue crack on my 8 hour pre-grocery store drive 500-point inspection in my honda civic. I do it every time I go anywhere, it’s only an extra days labor to any chore.

Having been through Germany’s TÜV inspection, I’m certain it would not have prevented this failure.

Thank god they didn’t know my friend Brandon was in the car.

Fair question. First, just measured it on google maps, and it was about 1500' as the crow flies door to door, so even though we lived a half block from the parking lot it was a bit more in reality. Other factors:

Ok, story time....

Gotta have someone to sue, just read the ambulance chaser billboards.

Not the first time an organization named Luft-something takes to the air to keep what may or may not be rightfully theirs.

During the early part of the pandemic, some passenger planes was commandeered for freight, but it turns out that unless the plane is specifically designed to carry freight instead of people, they’re not very capable over dedicated freighters. Imaging trying to carry a big-screen TV home in a minivan without folding…

Also If you don’t have a drive and can’t charge at home, a longer lasting battery will mean less time hanging out at charging stations.

This is clearly not enough range. We need 1000 miles minimum for the average american driver to even consider an EV.

Don't forget it needs to charge in under ten seconds.

I keep making that same dumb joke because lots of ppl on this forum feel this way - that unless an ev gets 600 miles of range while towing 25k pounds and costing 30k that there is no point to an ev. 

That trope was humorous 10 years back, but now you’re just drilling more tears out of oil execs with that joke. Won’t anyone think of the poor oil execs??

Why would you need the ability to drive for two months without charging?

I’m not sure of the laws in the States, but up here in Canada Mr. Flaten has a pretty solid complaint and the owner can pound sand with this paying in pennies nonsense. The rules for using coins to pay are:
