He said “felt almost as fast as the corvette“…So the Tesla was too fast and the Corvette wasn't?
Right. So how was the Tesla TOO fast and the Corvette wasn't?He said “felt almost as fast as the corvette“…
Are we reading the same thing? Where did it sat the T was too fast?Right. So how was the Tesla TOO fast and the Corvette wasn't?
That statement had nothing to do with the vette, but ok, see where you got it.
I know. I just found it humorous that the vette was faster than the Tesla, but the Tesla was too fast.That statement had nothing to do with the vette, but ok, see where you got it.
My take is the vette is just a fun car and the T was a daily driver and it was risky to get tickets…I know. I just found it humorous that the vette was faster than the Tesla, but the Tesla was too fast.
I am guessing what he meant by that was without staring at the speedometer the whole time and not having the sound of an engine revving it’s easy to go too fast.
So, he drives way too fast everywhere and wonders why the range isn't as advertised.A friend of a friend of a friend posted this on FB and it came across my feed, so I took screen shots of it. I deleted his name since I don't actually know the guy, but wanted to share it because it is a review from a regular guy.

The 3500 Cummins diesel gets 26 on the highway, maybe you have the wrong RAM…So, he drives way too fast everywhere and wonders why the range isn't as advertised.
There's plenty more in there that leads me to think this isn't the brightest advocate for the anti-Tesla position.
I get it. Electric vehicles have shortcomings. But Rams when he was concerned about the monthly cost for electricity? Guess what I drive. I don't know how much he drives, but a cost of $70-$100 a month for me is about 25% of what I spend now...fueling my Hemi Ram.
I hear Cummins guys bragging about 20 mpg unloaded at 55 mph.The 3500 Cummins diesel gets 26 on the highway, maybe you have the wrong RAM…
My brother gets 26 on the highway and I know he is not at 55…I hear Cummins guys bragging about 20 mpg unloaded at 55 mph.
Our 06 Sierra still knocks down 22 highway at 75. Back when gas wasn't sucky it would get 24 at 80 (2k rpms) all day long.... because that's how long it took to cross west Texas.My brother gets 26 on the highway and I know he is not at 55…
I read recently that fueling a car or truck with hydrogen would be 6X the cost of gasoline for the end user if scaled up with current technologyHydrogen is way off in the future, even NASA has trouble containing hydrogen fuel, so at this point it's way beyond mass production. Maybe someday down the road.
Not as long as it would be using a couple of solar panels or a Darius RotorI think it’s more like a vegan flavoring his fake bacon with real bacon grease.
But really, it’s gonna be a long time charging that thing with a gas generator.
I can tell you from experience that bicycles, with a reasonably fit rider, RULED the valley for about a week after the Northridge quakeMy guess is that most people will be forced on to public transportation or bicycle
I have read that the carbon footprint of a typical gasoline powered car, including manufacture and operation for 55,000 miles is the same as the carbon footprint of just manufacturing the battery for a Tesla. Add to that, the fact that it takes 6 times the energy to manufacture a part from aluminum as it does for a part made of steel. EVs require a extensive use of aluminum to counter the weight of the battery.
In other words, it’s likely that the carbon footprint of an EV will never match that of a standard gasoline powered car in its entire life. There is nothing green about an EV.
