The combination of battery technology and new electric motors is better tech for day to day use, the performance and economy kinda proves it, but is it more interesting tech? Na.. (also they aren't ready to run the 24 hours of Daytona).

on warranty they're not, batteries are getting much cheaper and last a lot longer, I was shown a couple cars that had 300,000 miles on the original battery, and 200,000 mile use is no longer considered high miles. I would have bought a Model S last week, but there are too many rumors about solid state batteries coming out. I'm looking for a car to use for long commutes, and for winter use they're barely getting there, I'm thinking they'll be there next winter. As of now, around town my Porsche is more fun to drive and I've got warranty till December so I'm hanging on to it. Next year depending on solid state battery availably I'll either buy new or used.

I see you didn't take your Meds again, good boy...🤣

The only difference there will be Thousands less foxes guarding the hen houses, much better for the hens and chicks, and way less mismanagement. The things coming out of the department of Education were starting to get crazy.

I'm sure you realize schools will still receive federal funding, what's happening is they're removing the bureaucracy of how it's handled. I'll bet most school administrator secretly agree with what's happening, up until now schools were forced to teach for the federal test which had influence on the funding they receive. Schools will now be able to teach what they feel is important to students instead of what they need to pass a generic test. (I'm married to a school administrator).

Since I've worked I'm most of the Red States down South, the Stadiums in West Texas rival any college Stadium, their money comes from property tax on oil field and large cotton farms, by counties it stayed in the counties until the late 90's, the locals knew how important school was and spent large portions on school. I spent aa few years in Plains Texas, and they dealt with what they called the Robin Hood law, Dallas was concerned they were loosing their best teacher to small town rural Texas, and they didn't understand why, Plains doubled their wages to entice teachers. Dallas sued to have their property tax spread across the state, and it's been an ongoing battle for West Texas to have a say where there money goes.

I was just reading some of the charges, one was using a high powered rifle with a suppressor along with throwing molotov cocktails, they all seemed pretty loony, and deserve to be charged with Hate Crimes. I'm sure after their free run during the summer of riots they thought they'd only get a slap on the wrist.

You're ignoring Mobile Service, No matter where you live they will come to your door and do the repairs there, if they can't, they will leave you a car while they have yours for repairs.

Please never start talking your meds again. 🤣🤣 Un edited movies never lie along with her socialist speech, between Musk and AOC, AOC's the Nazi, and you're such a good little Brown Shirt.

🤣🤣

That's from a different Video just look at her clothes, I suppose your media of choice is hiding the one from the speech where she's just snapping out your so called salute. Please, Please don't start taking your Meds, the entertainment value will go way down on this forum. I suppose your research on EV's was based on what one you could buy on a Walmart income.

It's from a video, I'm not a premium member of X so I couldn't copy the video, but look it up, she snaps that so called salute pretty crisply. And then look at our bumbling governor Walz, it was his signature salute until liberals called Musk a Nazi for doing the same thing so now he adds a goofy finger wave that well, just looks Weird.

they're all over the internet. the one I saw yesterday she was as you say giving a much more energetic and precise salute, you should be proud..

It's hilarious that liberals always accuse conservatives of what they're guilty of themselves.

Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg said it was a law that would never stand up if challenged, thru all the times Democrats held all the power why was it never codified and corrected, and is it really so bad to have it controlled by the states?

Now that's not nice,🙃 I had to laugh, a friend from Georgia who's been driving Teslas's for years said it used to be the Bubbas in lifted Trucks rolling coal and flipping him off, but lately it's switched to Subaru drivers that give him the finger.

I was just in Warroad, the test drivers were out on the lake putting on miles.

Ya with the first girl claiming she was wrapped up in chains, well you know that didn't happen, so the rest is all ridiculous.

That's going to be 90% of my use. I'm just wondering with Robotaxi and full self driving unsupervised needing HW4, I've been thinking will summons be advanced to where you can just send your car home where parking is kind of a mess (like our neighborhood restaurants and airports) and call it back when you want to leave. A few years ago, I would have laughed thinking that's ridiculous, but now it seems like it may be possible. But with the price of 2022's it's a lot of car for the money.

That's what I'm seeing, I'm just trying to. decide if I want HW4 over HW3 for the 7-8 grand premium, that and it's hard to find 2022's without the yoke.

I disagree on Hybrids, You're having to maintain 2 complete drive systems so it's never made a lot of sense to me, maybe 10 years ago.. EV's and charging networks are advancing at a crazy pace to the point I think even for me they'll work as a second car for our trips to the cities. Solid state batteries were expected after 2030 but now I'm hearing they might start showing up in the next year. They'll have longer range for battery size, no degradation for cold weather along with much faster charging. my plan was to get a 2022 S because the price is great, (EV's depreciate at an astounding rate in the first 2-3 years) but for what I'm hoping will be available in the near future I'll need the HW4 hardware.

That's all liberals have now days, and they're too stupid to realize they're the current version of Hitlers Brown Shirts. And Rev, yes Walmart special isn't the worst EV for charging rates, your article is 3 years old, but based strictly on fast charging rates it's still 20% slower than the Model S, for the trip I make it would be a minimum 2 stops in the winter and even under ideal conditions 1 stop, the Tesla would be 1 stop in the winter and no need to stop in ideal conditions. https://evkx.net/models/tesla/model_s/model_s/chargingcurve/

I looked at the charging curve of the KIA's, it would suck for long road trips, especially in the Winter, why the hell would you choose one of those living in Canada? 🤣https://evkx.net/models/kia/ev3/ev3_long_range/chargingcurve/

Since I've been in the market for 5 years for an EV, that's pre Liberal hate for Musk, it's only been in the last year or so that the added a charging station in Detroit Lakes, that was the go-no go point for me, If I can make to DL there are numerous chargers available from there. I had the intent to get a Mach E, just to buy local, but on a -20 day I was told a Mach E, wouldn't make it to DL, and if it did it would take a couple hours to charge. A hard no for me. 5-6 years ago EV's were great city cars but not a very good road trip car do to range, range has got so much better and charging on some much faster a handful make sense for roadtrips, hence why I decided now's the time to try one. And since you like calling Elon a Nazi, do you call AOC a Nazi, she still uses the wave constantly along with our illustrious Governor but he did add a little finger wavy lately which comes across as a little "weird"?

I've been watching EV's since about 2020, I really liked the IPace, but the range was way to short for me and now for as deep of a Rabbit hole I've gone down only a couple EV's fit my usage. I've got a Model S test drive scheduled for Wednesday, but I'm more interested in what's coming for 2025 otherwise I'll buy used. (I plan on a lot of miles in a short time). On the used market the Model S is the bargain and fits the profile for what I want. Since the test drive is in St. Paul, it'll be interesting if there are any protesters there. I'll be walking from the Porsche dealer next door so I'm kinda hoping to walk thru the protesters to get to Tesla. 🤣
