It is a tool that is best for some uses, less so for others. which makes it far inferior to other similar cars out there. any reasonably powered gas or diesel sedan is FAR more useful Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face – Thomas Sowell |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77976976  Moldova09/04/2019 03:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation |  P.S. -- Tesla cars are total pieces of dogshit and a huge scam. The company has never come close to turning a profit and it never will. And yet nearly every Tesla owner loves their car and will happily buy another when the time comes. Average income of a Tesla owner is $153,000, so we're not dealing with morons here, even if some of them tend to vote Democrat. You think because a person makes a certain amount of money that that person isn't a dumbfuck? There are so many counterexamples to that, buying an overpriced toy that could easily blow up in your face and roast your ass being one. So what if the dumbfucks who bought Teslas would buy another one? Most people who vote Democrat would vote for another Democrat. Just shows how some dumbfucks never learn. |
