A Tesla Model S is fairly armored. The entire frame is made out of boron steel and it uses aerospace bolts. The roof can withstand over 4x its own weight.

A Tesla is already fairly armored. On top of that you are not considering that:
Nah, with the budget the government gives. They can make it have 1000 miles easily.
There are 2 problems:
Not all solar will be on-site. And yes, each supercharger will have batteries in them so they will work even if there is a power outage.
Order of build out it: Supercharger -> solar canopy -> on-site battery
The solar is coming, be patient. But not all solar will be on-site. Tesla has a lot of solar capacity from their sister company, SolarCity who is the #1 solar panel installer in the US.
I don't know about these specifically, but doing a quick check on plugshare, multiple Red Roof Inn locations have EV charging. Though lowly level 1, 120v kind.
Depends for what. For superchargers, the electricity is covered by solar. What ends up happening is that money goes towards solar installations which generates power for 30 years worth more than covering the demand of superchargers for the lifetime of the car.
From what I heard Tesla offers free 80A c240V chargers to hotels and restaurants as part of their program.
I'd rather be mauled by a bear than buy a Fix It Again Tony
Well, hard to say. According to Tesla wiki, they has about 24 updates in 2 years so about 1 update a month. Obviously how major the update depends on the update but if you are interested here is a change log:
Disagree, you are implying that it somehow stops them. I had cases where I got a ticket for illegal parking for a sign that doesn't exist. I challenged the ticket and provided pictures that there is no sign anywhere there and even a URL to Google street view and a URL to the official city database that there is no…
No silly, you just take of the T and Tesla logos and put one of these:
The car has reverse tethering option. Which allows you to get internet from wifi or your phone. Which means there is no reason why he can't get software updates over OTA.
Who says Tesla does not let you drive into Mexico with it? Remember that guy who drove 110mph, hit a wall then a tree in Mexico on his Tesla? Then there was a guy who drove from US to Panama on his Tesla. Nothing is stopping you, they just don't sell it there directly.
Then Putin gets back into his western made car with a Russian car brand logo on it and rides away.
Nothing would happen, nobody would hear it coming.
In the old days, rockets blew up due to trial and error and mistakes. Modern rockets have a safety system to prevent the rocket when something goes wrong from crashing, to self destruct. The difference is uncontrolled explosion and crash vs controlled explosion with no crash outside the launch zone.
Yes, it is interesting how people react to explosions when in reality that explosion is there to protect the people.
Dropping a laptop is a real scenario, so is getting it wet. I dropped my laptop and got it wet on multiple occasions, no issues.
