I, for one, definitely won’t be buying another Tesla as long as Naziboy Musk has anything to do with the company.

    Buddy, no engine goes for one million miles. Cylinders fail and engines get replaced. You seem to have some idealistic example in your head that every gas car can go for a million miles with “proper maintenance”. Not everybody has some old Volvo which has bucked the trend and lasted forever. Please, be honest with yourself.

    Electric car batteries go for 200k miles with proper care, the same as your average gas car. So stop it with your fear-mongering bullshit.

      Yeah, million mile cars are rare, obviously. But to claim it’s reliable when you have to replace that much shit to get there is nonsense. It’s well known that they have issues making them unusable and cost ineffective in the long run.

      I’m absolutely for effective EVs but I’m not going to suck the dick of a company that does so poorly, while sucking on the government teat and act like that’s a company we need. We don’t need 8,000 lb vehicles that’ll do 0-60 in 3 seconds.

        Then you must be a Tesla fan? Tesla’s made for EV vehicles have always been much lighter than legacy manufacturers first attempts at converting their ice cars to EV. My model Y is half that weight, and the biggest “car” style is the model X at 5,200 pounds

          And your model y is still twice the weight of my mx-5 will have double the depreciation, and won’t make it the 220-250 k miles without major repairs as mine. Who made the better choice?

            Great. Miata’s are fun little cars. I wasn’t aware there was an EV version
