he’s partially right. the “constitutional right to travel” simply means you have the right to travel between the states without being taxed or impeded in any way (apart from restrictions during and after criminal proceedings.)

“I have a constitutional right to drive freely without restriction”

“So how do you downplay it? Simple!

This is exactly it. It’s all publicity stunt with specially crafted wording to make it sound worse than it really is.

Exactly. I think Volvo has a good point. I also don’t think Tesla is being unethical in any way, it’s just two separate philosophies.

That is cool, but Tesla advertises a Level 2 system. Not a Level 3 system.

Volvo’s issue is this. Tesla and Volvo both have Level 2 systems. Tesla has a far superior Level 2 system.

This smells like a publicity stunt, needlessly knocking Tesla for something that never claimed to be as capable as what Volvo is bringing to the table.

It’s like they are now trying to be what Hyundai and Kia were 20 years ago.

They were doing just fine. So what if they utilized the 4G63 in almost EVERY car they produced? They started making their cars less and less mechanical in regards to engineering and started making cheap, crappy, crap cars. It’s sad. Why not just continue a really good Lancer; 3000gt; Starion; or hell, even the…

When will Mitsubishi die as a car company?

I’m no accident expert, but aren’t cars designed nowadays to crumple in the front as that FIAT did? If the car isn’t crumpling, then the drivers and passengers are absorbing the energy from the impact. Looks like the front of the FIAT just slid under the Volvo, hence why the Volvo’s bumper is fine. The seating…

Those Chevy ads aren't ineffective, they're infuriating. "We found ten people who've been living under a rock the past 50 years and have no idea what a Chevrolet looks like. Trust us, it was really hard to find those ten people. But we did. They also had no idea about the value of a dollar. Because truthfully, we…

Oh Lord, those ads...

You’re right. Advertising that bashes the competition, makes feature by feature comparisons, or tries to convince you that the product is hip usually are ineffective when they are trying to fight the market leader, especially when the leader is “cool.”

I’ll take a Volt over a Leaf anyday.

You keep saying this, but if another manufacturer could sell an equivalent product for 50% less, they would.
