And Fecal was right

When there is a nationwide charging network like Tesla’s and if charging an EV remains cheap they’re an equally viable form of transportation, even for road trips
Love you too.

Not sure if you know, other cars can use Tesla superchargers starting this year. Namely Rivian.

This thing may be my first EV, if they get it in the $35k range. We need more hot hatchbacks.

If you drive your EV correctly, you should very rarely use the brakes. One peddle driving is one of the nice features of driving an EV.
When I had a Tesla for 1300 miles, I made it a challenge to see how many miles I can do without touching brakes.

Once you get used to the stopping distance, it's pretty amazing. Also, the amount of tuning you can do for regen braking is insane.

I expect you could make XX% charge coming down a mountain.

maybe its kinda robot-y on the front end? does it come with a metal owl as a sidekick? The wifey walked in while I was looking @ your Rivian photos, she thinks its cute & says her hairdresser, Eduardo has already ordered one...hey all good i'm not being critical.

West of the Atlantic. East of the ICW.
According to CNN there is 1.8 MILLION GALLONS of fuel on board to power the container ship that hit the bridge in Baltimore. If you think getting an electric car is going to change the climate one way or another, you're flat out insane.
