    People that are buying the stickers are rubes. I don’t care what you think and anyone with an ounce of confidence shouldn’t either.

    I’m convinced most of the anti Tesla rhetoric is coming from people who frankly are not Tesla (or any new car) customers anyway. If you’re actually in the market for an EV and want to compare range, charging network, dashboard UI+phone app quality (yes, all standard automakers are shit at software development, maybe hire people in SV), cost, vehicle options, maintenance + repair options (Tesla service isn’t run by the garbage dealership model and is actually good service and fairly priced) — then Tesla has been a clear winner for many years.

    Feel free to go back to your dealership and waste half a day trying to buy a car. Every one else is still so far behind and if you get it, you get it.

      As someone who drives an EV and has been watching the market for the last 2.5 years to see about maybe getting s different one soon: lol. Lmao, even. Lmfao, perhaps.

          My car doesn’t break, save one recall that happened and was fixed for free, had to go into the dealership because nobody can replace a battery in field when it’s melted a little, I’d think

          If you regularly need service though I guess that’d be nice, I’d just get a car with better QC, personally

        Incomprehensible statements… vehicle to load? Not sure there’s much an xc90 or a mache can do that MY can’t.

            I had to google it. Got it, sure that’s a niche use case that the car doesn’t have. The only EV that I know advertises this feature is the Ford F150 lightning. Absolutely stunning sales on the car really showcase how useful that feature is. /s.

            But ya the car has a 120v adaptor. Good enough for most people camping.

                Please tell me which other EVs can power a house? Having a simple inverter built in is dramatically different than having the ability to power a transfer switch input to your electrical panel replacing a generator. The F150 lightning can power your house. Your other evs cannot. I’m calling bullshit on you since you obviously know jack shit and don’t actually own anything.
