EVs are even better than ICE in water. No worries about hydrolocking. The HV electronics are all sealed well.

I would definitely buy a pure electric jeep for off-roading. It would be amazing. 

133 mph isn’t even impressive anymore. Probably every family car on sale today could go at least that fast. 

Is this the “get off my lawn” old-man thread?

I just went through that. I buried one inside my bike, and now it’s one year later and the battery needed to be replaced. Had to take a bunch of stuff apart to get to it.

The Tesla Roadster must have had different seats. I thought mine were great. I did pretty long load trips in mine. 

It has an insane amount of grip. 295s in the rear. 

It also can drive itself on the highway, and comfortably drive your grandma to church on Sundays.

Best to throw away the stuff carefully. It might be bad to inhale the dust. 

I do the same thing with my bikes, but unfortunately the Airtag makes noise after it has been disconnected from your Apple device for 8 hours. So, the thief is alerted to it immediately and can throw the airtag away. I’m hoping that’s a good enough decoy to throw the thief off the trail and they won’t go looking for…

1025 HP... I see what they did there. Someone else happens to sell a car with 1020 HP. Also, very close in price. $109k. 

Yup. And the mobile connector is even cheaper. 

But that’s also pretty easy to add, if your electrical panel is nearby. A few hundred dollars. 

Huh? The Tesla charger is $230 and it will always charge your car fully overnight. It is fast enough and reliable. Electricity in NC is under 10 cents per kwhr, dirt cheap. Driving is under 2.5 cents per mile.

It’s really f’in hard to get working AM radio in an EV. I can confirm, I had a Tesla Roadster with an AM radio. It made cool engine vroom vroom sounds when the motor was spinning. The motor pulse width modulation occurs right around the AM radio frequencies and is much much stronger. 400V or 800V pulses are going to…

Yes, they provide service manuals. The 3/Y is going to be more reliable than the S/X. The manufacturing on the 3/Y is better and it is mechanically simpler. You can do all the ordinary car service stuff yourself.

I think the 3/Y interior is probably more durable. It has more plastic in places that get dirty or wear, like door sills. The S/X has more fabrics and carpets.

The new ‘22+ Model S has new cup holders that are tiny. 

True. They need to remove him ASAP and replace him with a functioning adult.

The steering wheel controls in the latest Model 3 are excellent. The ones in the S, eh.... I’ve owned both. I’ve also driven a ‘23 Model 3 and can confirm they have updated them and improved the tactile feedback on the scroll wheels.
