All,
I have been a member of many automobile forums: Jeep, Porsche, Ford, Chrysler, Chevrolet (Corvair), Antique Automobiles, BMW, and others I am probably forgetting.
This Tesla forum contains members who, in my opinion, are clearly, significantly, more technical, analytical, and overall communication skills of the members on this forum. Countless times I have read someone’s post and was thoroughly impressed. My background is electrical engineering with a Ph.D (not because I am intelligent, but because I work hard), and quite frankly, I think I am relatively difficult to impress. My job as a professor is one of teaching and criticizing, but there are so many members on this forum who intellectually impress me.
I suspect much of this is driven by the fact that many people are intimidated by owning an EV, and the fact that members of this forum are not intimidated by technology results in a self-selection bias. Regardless, hanging with all of you is the best experience I have ever had on an automobile forum. Merry Christmas my virtual friends.
Joe
