        Yes, in a late 1980s post-apocalyptic movie, it would work very well.

              I think while Robert Zemeckis is still alive were are safe, but once he passes I expect this will be fast-tracked within 6 months. He was born in 52, so I don’t think this is immanent but I guarantee this will happen eventually.

        As it’s not released, it’s probably illegal (contractually) to drive it on a public road. This is likely more akin to seeing tech writers with unreleased hardware.

      Maybe the concept. Or edited photos from far away. Take a realistic, close-up look, and prepare to be disappointed. And the steel seems about as “fun” to take care of as a boat.

      Just FYI, there are >20 other electric car makers in the market right now. A couple of those beat Tesla by a good margin, more than half have electric cars below 40k €.

      My next car will be an electric car. It will not be a Tesla.

      Furthermore, why are you blaming the consumer when corporations do the majority of the carbon pollution?

        I know it’s not a common opinion here, but there’s nothing remotely close to Tesla in terms of bang for the buck (whole experience, features, autopilot, charging infrastructure, power, range).

        What are the ones you have in mind?

      Tesla is bad though. Everything about their business seems to be catered to stupid people.

      Literally the only good thing must has ever done in any of his ventures seems to be releasing the Tesla plug connector to other manufacturers.

      And even that I’m not convinced is good long term.
