Fun fact: all Telsas have a bit of stored text that is the car's name. You can set it to whatever you want, I think the default might be "KYOON GRIFFEY JR'S CYBERTRUCK".

When you set up the Tesla app as a key to enter and start the car, you have to select which car you want to enter and start, and having the names is very helpful when, for instance, your sister in law has a car that looks exactly like yours.

This name is also used when you bluetooth pair to the car, which is handy when you want to delete a pairing. I believe the LEAF shows up as "MY CAR"

This is also true in the Ford app. Our Bronco is named Karen.

I gotta assume there's also an environmental benefit? Sodium seems like it must be way easier to acquire / recycle / dispose of than lithium.

I bought 3 Teslas so far, this post makes me want to buy 3 more.

Man, I knew they weren't durable, but that seems like an extremely short lifespan??

You can't use a Leaf for that, you need a real vehicle.

To the enlightened Effective Philanthropist, there is no difference between "number go up" and "saving lives later."

Honestly there is literally no purchase I wouldn't make at Costco if it was possible there. Better prices, better warranties, less bullshit, across the board.

Full Self Driving (Supervised)

This is the kind of steaming marketing lingo that is just disastrous for drivers. "Full Self Driving" literally means "it can drive itself," which is a lie, especially alongside a CEO talking about how it's safer than human driving, which is also a lie. Adding the qualifier (Supervised) is going to help many, but not all, customers recognize that the words preceding it are a lie.
