Wait, so they were “visiting a friend” when they noticed they were out of juice, and their friend wouldn’t let them leave the car there to charge? 

Joule thief!

The future is strange and EV’s have ruined it for me. Every new muscle car / performance car or thought of me tuning another project car immediately feels pointless when there are a crap ton of regular people driving to Starbucks in their Model 3 that’ll blow my doors off without even noticing I hit the gas.

Tell that to all the modern pickup trucks with touch screens in them.

The idea wasn’t to build an electric pickup truck, it was to build a Tesla pickup truck. No way to do that except starting with a Tesla. And she did a freaking amazing job.

Of course they didn’t cut corners.
Just the roof.

Awfully sexist to assume that most mechanics aren’t female, or that they identify as male and not female.

“Brain tumor” (she casually mentions).

Superhero level unlocked:

This is literally what every single car company does. ever seen an add on TV advertising how cheap cars are ant any particular dealership? guarantee in the FinePrint it’s going to list an actual inventory number and they might have one or two of those on the lot at that price

Headline:

That is quite a misleading title. It’s like saying that the base price of a BMW 3-series is $45,000 because the 335i exists.

This isn’t honest journalism. This is how EVERY car company shows cars avaialbe at X price. Bad headline is bad.
