yeah totally, i have insurance with roadside assistance, only drove from 7am thru 10pm to be sure we wouldn't have to be rescued at 2am.

the tesla superchargers charge at rate of 120 kw/h so it's always done charging before we go to the restroom and change our daughter's diaper

i like evs though, the model 3 is the only one my family fits in at the price. all the other companies like gm and vw have something coming but it's gonna be at least 2 years. i got my model 3 on the 14th last month and put 7,200 miles on it, it's actually a good car.

tesla still sucks as a company though

I constantly use used needles in the hopes of getting super powers, but there are some risks that are too crazy.

sounds like they just need to make it "two touch" ie to confirm it with an email to comply with german law?

thats how i always figured dash buttons should work... you push button when low on something, get a digest of reorders at the end of the week or whatever. but of course the current behavior lets you randomly buy poo poo so thats how amazon has it work
