    It’s funny how that reply, 5 years ago, would have probably been from someone on the right who also loved rolling coal. Now, that same reply can be from someone on the left.

        Eh, he’s changed a fair amount since joining the magats. His cars have always been overhyped shit though. The chargers, batteries and maybe motors are the only good things that have come your of those factories.

        Fit, finish and features have been cheap and crappy all along though.

          isn’t that the majority of what an EV is?

            The seats, steering, climate controls, everything you touch, computers, and bodies are garbage, so no, most of what makes it a car is terrible for a car of that price.

            Even the throttle pedals fell off the constructs before a recall about them.

            By chargers, I should have said charging network. Which I think will be the only profitable business with the name Tesla on it in 10 years.
