      I can’t imagine it’s a Tesla or it wouldn’t say anything about keeping the engine running.

      Either way, fuck all this bullshit. Every day I grow less and less likely to part with my old beast BUT the near doubled and still rising price of fuel will probably force my hand eventually.

      I just went on a touring holiday and fuel was easily the largest component of my budget.

      Because they’re phenomenal vehicles? And if you live in the US they have the only charging network you can actually rely on.

      I’m driving 600 miles today in mine. No problem.

          I suppose it could be like antique cars in my home state where just about everyone has a antique car and is still a status symbol but at least with a car that you have to constantly work on it yourself it’s kinda a hey look at what I’ve made sort of status symbol maybe Norwegians are hot rodding Teslas?

            I feel like hot rodding a tesla would be more of a Finnish thing. Also I feel like if theres any car that I wouldnt hot rod itd be a tesla, npt cause its nice mind you, (I think every “feature” it has is shit) but because I feel like itd throw a hissy fit unless you legitimized it and hotwired all its systems.

      I have a Tesla. It’s great. I’ve received dozens of new features OTA. There are no subscriptions (except a very reasonable $10 for additional cellular connectivity, that I do not pay for). It’s the best car I’ve ever owned.

      Also Fuck Elon 👍

        I own a Tesla, I can’t imagine buying any other make now. The full experience is incredible. Every time I hear what’s going on with the new cars, especially EV, my answer to all the issues is always the same: get a Tesla instead.

        Also: Musk is a shitshow on legs

          Yeah, I mean there are totally legitimate reasons to not like them and not buy one but they’re very hard to beat on fun, reliability, practicality and cost-effectiveness.
