hahaha. Ok, miss out on the all the fun.

Buy an E-ride Pro SS 2.0 and rock it with knobbies out of the box. 

Yup. Look up E-ride pro SS 2.0 or Talaria, Sur Ron, etc. Cheaper, more range, fast, lighter. Perfect commuting machines. 

Yeah, I think the battery is too small for that price. You can get a Sur Ron Light Bee, Talaria XXX, Talaria Sting R MX4 or an Eride pro SS 2.0 for a lot less $$, have just as much range or more, go just as fast, and they weigh half as much. How is it 300 lbs with only 4 kwhr of battery? Most of the other bikes in…

Fire Elon. Now. 

I’ve got plenty of design flaws to roast them on. Relatedly. The interior door opening buttons in the S/X are capacitive sensors, which is just awful. 3 years later I still occasionally miss the button when getting out of the car. The 3/Y have totally reasonable buttons that you can open without having to look at…

There are many things to complain about with Tesla vehicles. Door handles aren’t really high on my list. Manufacturing quality is much more annoying. 

I imagine the hole is slightly worse than flush. The Model S has the best of both worlds, but it requires more mechanical complexity. The model 3/Y handles are fine. You get used to them after one time opening the door.

The mirrors are next to go. They are also a huge range killer.

Because it is much more than 2 miles of range lost. That’s why all the door handles have to be flush. 

Yeah. Agreed. Buying a new car isn’t crazy if you keep it for 10 years. You’ll get warranty and some peace of mind. If you buy a 10 year old used car for less, you’ve got more stuff to deal with. 

Depends. If he has a 1% loan, hell no. Don’t pay that off. Cash out the crypto and put it in an index fund or something safer.  If it’s a 6% loan, then yeah, maybe pay it off. 

I mean, what are normal pedal covers held on with? It’s just a cover. It doesn’t do anything. The pedal is underneath. 

Hey, 1.6 lbs of inconel is worth ~$5. Nice find.

What empty space? If you watch the video, it’s there for crash protection and to prevent dents from damaging the battery. 

They also had a hold from the EPA for most of the start of the year, preventing sales of the Model S/X LR and Model Y.

I know a few people who didn’t buy because of Elon. Of course, they are suffering trying to charge their other EVs at the other broken fast chargers... but that’s essentially what has kept me in a Tesla. Now, when other cars have NACS for the same price, it’ll be interesting. 

Yup. Kick out Elon and focus on manufacturing quality and improving service. Tell Wall St (and this blog) to fuck off about making delivery numbers. Focus on delivering high quality cars in perfect condition. 

I don’t want to buy the Y, but the refreshed 3, yeah! It’s really nice inside and out. 

They are very short on Teslas charger. The cables are heavy. Making them long makes them hard to use.
