I didn’t say I was poor, but I stand by saying I’m not rich.

Not yet, probably should. Haven’t had time to get an estimate either.

Deductible. Rate increase.

I’d take slashed tires. Still sucks, but at least you have to replace the tires just to use the car and the damage is gone.

Someone keyed my Model S. One long scratch from the front all the way to the back.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink.

I do ride, and I don’t rely on pissing everyone off around me with eardrum rupturing noise to keep me safe. I rely on situational awareness and defensive driving tactics. I don’t wait for others to notice me, I take action to keep myself out of their blind spots and defend against their inattentiveness.

I think the good Bolt sales are due to an overall interest in EVs, and between the price and the ~200 mile range, its the market’s greater acceptance point for an EV. Contribute Tesla’s delay (and continuing delays) in delivering the Model 3 (and its higher price), and people are going for the Bolt, since its really…

True, quick charging all the time can accelerate the battery degradation, but for most people, quick charging should really only be necessary for long distance driving. Again, for most people, that’s going to mean that the car doesn’t get quick charged all the time, and the battery degradation from quick charging…

Every flight I’ve been on in the past year (Alaska Air, Turkish Air, Icelandair) have had power outlets for the seats. 120/240v outlets plus USB.

Flew Alaska Airlines from the west coast to JFK, no screens. Each seat had a power outlet for your device, and they provided WIFI to connect to their on-board server where you could access the flight status/maps and on-demand entertainment for free. You could even connect to the rest internet via an extremely slow,…

Seconded.

Wait a sec... you’re lumping the entire human interface and ergonomic design of the whole car and comparing that to a 2003 Saturn Ion just because the screen is in the center like the Ion’s instrument cluster?

Orly? Maybe for short sellers... I invested at $26. It closed today at $320.

Huh. Was not aware of that! Thanks! (Our car is AP0... has no Autopilot hardware at all.)

Here’s how to do those things in the Model 3:

If that bugs you, this would drive you nuts:

Err, my 2013 P85 has them and they’ve worked great the whole time we’ve had the car. Not sure where your info is coming from.

You can turn off the automatic rain sensors. If you choose to do that (which I agree, I would too), you can activate the wipers by pressing the stalk for a single swipe. This immediately brings up the wiper settings on the screen without you having to press the screen at all. You can either then tap the big blue wiper…

You’re ignoring what I said in my first post. There is a simple control to turn them on when you want: press the stalk.
