I’m guessing you never bought anything on Amazon either; or been to Walmart; or bought gas; or paid taxes. 

What did Elon do to you?

I know 4 people who regret buying an EV due to Electrify America being so unreliable. Takes 5 goes for it to begin charging. It begins charging then stops 2 minutes after you walked away but doesn’t notify you. It charges but at 2% optimal speed.

Also the AV having a green light for a left turn, and the human driver continuing straight from oncoming traffic is pretty damning.

40 is normal on Geary where this accident occurred. It’s a 6-lane wide arterial road and people often drive much faster than 40 on it.

Just would like to remind everyone of what was said by a former Ferrari board chairman about BEVs and Ferrari:

I’m always amazed at how tone deaf these types of slogans are (the ‘defund the police’ movement did the same thing). It’s almost like the people saying them would prefer to have an argument - or piss people off - than engage in substantive debate.

Slight correction: Tesla isn’t “offshoring” to China. The Chinese plant serves Asia-Pacific markets. Shipping cars for long distances across oceans is expensive, adds delays, and contributes to climate change, so if they can cut down on that, everyone wins. It’s the same reason why the Berlin plant exists (primarily…

So...why is it regrettable Tesla has such high sourcing from the US?

Does this line of reasoning also extend to ending fossil fuel subsidies which are several times larger than EV subsidies?

Really? Where do you think the raw materials come from for every car? Its not a victory for semantics.

1st Gear: I’ve been saying that exact thing for years. It seems to me that some idiots in the USA think Tesla is somehow ‘foreign’ while still believing that Stellantis products are still ‘domestic’.

Yeah, pretty much no one uses that definition to determine where a company is based.

IDK, I own a Tesla and I think the layout of the menus is incredibly intuitive and efficient.  More so than any other infotainment system I’ve used.  Plus its responsive and fluid.

The fundamental question you are asking is, “Should we use public funding to encourage EV adoption?” and the answer generally is Yes.  EVs are becoming more and more affordable each year.

No, not rich people. A used Bolt is only $18k-20k and other older tech city cars are sub $10k.

Well, there’s the Nissan Leaf, for environmentally-conscious frugal people, but I agree with you. We, the taxpayers, already paid for a big tax credit for EV buyers, the gas tax pays for road maintenance (or whatever the .gov diverts those funds too) but EV’ers don’t pay that, and now we have to give them free “fuel”…

That’s 22 mile per day, each way. 5 days is 110 mile trip, each way. 10 days is 220 mile trip, each way.

I bought my Model 3 in 2019 and am sooooo happy I did. I only pulled the trigger because they announced they were ending the long range rwd, which was the model that I had been looking at for the previous 6 months. Since then, the FSD package has more than doubled, the rwd is no longer available with the big battery…

it can theoretically be charged exclusively by the sun, it has an option to be plugged in to charge when conditions require it.
