Platinum Contributing Member Steve753 Posted June 15, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 15, 2023 What I'm finding in my travels lately is that I see more Teslas in democrat run areas and the price of fuel is substantially higher in those areas as well. Could there be a correlation there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't we would have one. Serious piece of crap. Toyota has nothing to copy from it. Toyota engineers call the Tesla Model Y a “work of art” – report The Tesla Model Y has reportedly impressed Toyota’s engineering team, saying the electric SUV is “unbelievable” under the skin – as the Japanese car giant ramps up its efforts to catch the US specialist. A Toyota insider reportedly told industry journal Automotive News the Tesla had been purchased in an attempt to discover the US electric-car giant’s ‘technological secrets’, though engineers were left surprised at how advanced the Model Y was under its bodywork. “Taking the skin off the (Tesla) Model Y, it was truly a work of art,” a Toyota executive told Automotive News. “It's unbelievable.” https://www.drive.com.au/news/toyota-tesla-model-y-work-of-art-report/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
