Total parts, not just the engine / motor. Have to factor in transmissions, differentials, fuel pumps etc.

A Tesla has less than 150 total moving parts. A typical car has over 10,000. Which looks like the better design?

Combustion engines, no matter the fuel are still very complex and inefficient. Yes batteries need more improvements, but electric is the future like it or not. For me, I like the idea of one moving part instead of... Pistons, crank shafts, cams, injectors, spark plugs, fuel pumps, oil pumps, oil filters, alternators, water pumps, belts, hoses, radiators, mufflers, catalytic converters, transmissions, differentials, etc etc etc....

The new V3 chargers get you 75 miles in just 5 minutes. It will take a while before those are abundant, but the rate tesla is going it won't be long.

In my area, I can't drive anywhere without passing multiple Teslas. I'm contemplating shopping for a used 75D here soon. Wife and I put about 400 miles a week on my BMW, but never drive it on road trips. A car I can plug in at night and be fast as shit would be great.

Oh no, not 1.9%...

There are many other countries that have simplified systems where you don't have to do your own. Return free filling or something like that. For most, you spend money on Turbo tax or an accountant to come up with a number just to have the IRS tell you if you're right or not. It's a racket lobbied by tax filing companies like Turbo tax and H&R block

It's great you only had to spend $40 and an hour of your time for the IRS, who already knows the answer to tell you if you did it right or not 🤣 Having to do your own taxes in this country is just stupid.

New gauges but that pretty much it.

Well considering I bought this wrecked and that's the spot that got damaged, that's the brace I added.

Huh?

Charge at home and it's only about 12 cents per kwh

I don't think any human could kill a full grown one with their bare hands. Yes this one was a youngster, just still 80 lbs of muscle.

Link? Ford numbers lump all F series together where others doesn't. Of course when you compare all F series to just the Silverado or Ram it's going to show a lot more sales.

I believe that guy is a professional motocross racer

Did close to 600 miles last week. Western UP has plenty

With only 3 different models, that's impressive! Fucking Cadillac sucks!

2.28 0-60 time with over 300 miles of range... I'll drink up

Model S after 160k miles still averages less than 9% battery degrade. So there goes that theory. They can't make enough model 3s to keep up with orders, yet you say no one is buying them?

I know, it's a fine line. This will help with minor hits, but a big hit it's just going to transfer to the E module.

You're right, I said I think that's the better way. That's just my opinion though. I also followed that by saying it needs to be stronger. I like the idea, but it shouldn't bend in soft crashes.

I said earlier, I think they should be stronger. Here's how I rebuilt mine.

I never said which philosophy is better. I'm just saying from an engineering standpoint why they do it that way. I will say it being so expensive to fix a doo is why I bought a 2017 with 500 miles on $4000! $1500 in parts and it's back to brand new.
