Confused. My 22 (June but based on early 21 pricing) did not come with EAP as EAP did not (re)exist until like mid to late 22. Only option you had until like fall of this year was FSD and no way in hell would I be dumb enough not to pay for that. This is a US statement as I understand other...

How many “real truck guys” are there tho? Pretty sure most truck people use it to got to the mall and Starbucks and maybe once every 5 years go to Home Depot and get something that might require 1/3 of the bed. Very few people really do Truck Stuff with trucks. Been that way for several decades

I never understood this argument as cars are not investments

Bro. Where have you been?? Used cars have been just as (and some cases more) expensive as new due to supply constraints for like over a year. Are you in the US? Otherwise your statement is ….odd.

Why would you prefer a car to be made in Canada vs. Mexico? I am assuming you are not Canadian, of course but then the question would be why the US then. For me I prefer a car made in the US otherwise what’s the difference?

Pretty sure the Model Y doesn’t have longer range…EPA “range” doesn’t mean much. In real world driving a couple of cars on that list match or beat the Y’s range thus I wouldn’t tout that aspect much in these (senseless IMO) comparisons.

Bru. In the US/NA market most (virtually all) EVs that have been released and will be released in the near future have CCS. End of story. It simply makes zero sense to arbitrarily make one vendors proprietary connector the standard. Even more so when ALL other OEMs vehicles in the region use...

This is dumb. Why have Tesla nozzle as the standard when CCS is already the standard for every other OEM? This petition make no sense to me

Hard disagree on the early adopter phase comment. we are still before the “chasm” as it pertains to charging networks. I live in Michigan and driving to West Tennessee/northern Mississippi (~800mi) while doable still requires me to stop at times I wouldn’t normally do so with an ICE - thus...

Like steering into concrete columns. Design issues

Ok? I guess ?? Just so long as people can distinguish fact (SAE Level definitions) vs random marketing (utterly useless non definitions that seem to shift). I guess I only understand levels in context of what they are (ie what the SAE says) and not what OEMs “say”

Not sure I follow. L3 or L4 doesn’t necessarily speak to hwy or city street scenarios rather differing responsibility levels for driver and OEM. Am I miss understanding your point?

Huh? Bro so you’re saying FSD is L5? WTF?!? FSD appears to only be striving for L3 ok cool. By the way, I have ocean beach front property for sell in Nevada for sell - pending massive earthquake that will split Cali from mainland.

Can you buy a robotaxi from any vendor today?

Are you sure it’s a stretch? Have you not watched the news the last 18 months? Had people saying some things that were obviously false but hey, let’s not become Russia? Dude we’re already there. This hit piece article from inside edition is par for the course. Nothing to see here
