     @2dach no worries. It’s a separate channel. They used to produce really good content.

     Nothing they said about handling or performance mattered. But, their eye on tech was always great. Nothing has been posted on that channel for a year and I’m seeing car related content on this channel now.

     Seems like that channel is dead.

   Buy a Hybrid car. It’s a better option.

   Seen a graph of BEV price vs range. Tesla is the best buy from that standpoint. Most range for the price.

   Tesla is the standard answer. No other EV maker has all the issues figured out.

     Tesla certainly doesn’t have it all figured out. They have the best charging network. For sure. No question.

     There are plenty of other wonderful EVs out there. The Mach E is great. The EV6 is phenomenal.

     We won’t talk about how late the Cybertruck is or how it’s not living up to promises. I can wait until it’s actually released.

     I won’t go into details about the dishonest 0-60 time for the model S Plaid.

     I won’t go into details about their dishonest driving range estimates.

     And, Tesla’s approach to self driving is:
     A) Wrong. They’ve fallen VERY far behind on self driving tech because they refuse to use radar and LiDAR.

     B) Untruthful and dishonest.

     Tesla makes GOOD cars. They’re definitely responsible for the current popularity of electric cars and bringing other car makers into the electrification of cars. For sure.

     Tesla is not the best at very much. They’ve got the charging network. For sure. Hands down.

     They’re not the most reliable. They’re not the most attainable. They’re not the longest range. They’re not the least expensive. They’re not the most luxurious. They’re not the fastest charging. They don’t support sending power back to the home. They don’t have the best self driving.

     What exactly makes you think Tesla has it all figured out?

   Internal combustion engine is best. No point going electric, not much ssvings in eco terms since power grid is coal, gas primarily. Hybrid is doable forngas savings but not for eco reasons

   Reliable is more improved than anything is key.
   Batteries are not reliable. Your smartphone is a good example. (Samsung Note 7)

    #1 feature is number of seats… 7 seater preferred
