As much as I love Porsche, I’m still waiting to hear where these cars are supposed to charge on longer trips.

I am not a Tesla fan, but watched the whole video if I am not mistaken almost ALL of his complaints are about fit and finish, squeaks, that mirror and door handle, crooked wheel and front windshield issue. I know he says that Tesla is not a bad car but OMG he just comes across as super picky when he says the average…

All due respect, but anyone who thinks a brand new vehicle is going to be absolutely 100% perfect has either never owned a brand new vehicle or is imagining past vehicles with rose-tinted glasses. There were problems, no matter what vehicle or manufacturer. Machining and assembly just isn’t that precise. There will ALW…

Every manufacturer has a pretty bad version of “perfect” and customer expectations are almost always higher than the factory. I work for an insurance company and I cannot tell you how many times people complain about rattles, or bodylines not matching up after their car was fixed. Thankfully I’m at a dealership body…

As someone that owns a light, cheap sports car, I just learned to embrace the rattles, become with with the road noise and weird sounds

Tesla is not a quality product. But expecting that a moving object not have rattles, creaks, and alignment issues shows a disproportionate framework of expectations. Telsa is a ~tech company~ but their product is still a car.

Yeah, people are jumping on this due to s short snippet of video with no one really going hands on with it to verify. I have issues with the Model 3, but writing an extended article off a likely faulty, unconfirmed assumption, doesn’t help their case that they’re unnecessarily harsh towards Tesla.

They may be redundant with the stalk.

Do we know it doesn’t? Everyone seems to just be assuming it doesn’t.

This assumes that it doesn’t have automatic intermittent wipers and the slow and fast are to override to continuous slow and fast speeds. This is basically how my BMW works. You turn the wipers on and it’s sensor driven intermittent, then from there you can bump them to slow and fast continuous. And as you mentioned,…

Surprisingly in those conditions getting ANY fuel is a challenge. Also in those circumstances the solar panel owner is king.

So you never experienced the era — the 70s — when oft-times there was no petrol (for combustible engines)?

A surprising number of gas stations require electrical power for their pumps to work, and have no generator backup.

This is misleading information, at best. This graphic from the Union of Concerned Scientists really brings it into focus.

It’s the same BS comparison all over again. They look at the CO2 emitted by the power plants, but they only compare with the CO2 emitted by the gasoline car. They ignore the CO2 emitted during the oil extraction, refinement, and transportation, before it gets to the gas pump.

I’ve been sorta following this case for years, decades actually. It’s one of the reasons I won’t buy a Nissan car. It also seems to me that Nissan did offer outrageous amounts of money to Mr. Nissan, and he kept refusing. They finally asked him to name his own price, and he gave a figure of something like $750M. He…

I’ve never been in one, but that picture screams acres of hard plastic.

It includes gas

maybe, fuel?

if only scientists had warned us about the changing climate and the potential for catastrophic storms like this.
