People who turn a blind eye to racial issues the way you do are complete clowns and not to be taken seriously.

The fact that your response to someone calling out people who throw out the race card in places it shouldn’t be inserted, is you wouldn’t take me seriously because  you claim I turn a blind eye to race issue without giving even a single piece of evidence is quite telling.  One would hope you could do better, but here we are, you being a part of the problem too.

All the evidence I've seen actually suggests Teslas (and electric vehicles generally) are far better mechanically and need far less maintenance than comparable ICE cars. EV's have far fewer parts and electric motors are extremely robust. Batteries are the one thing that I'd be careful of in an EV, and the data for Tesla suggests the batteries will last about 250k - 500k miles, so longer than almost any transmission or engine.

Full disclosure: I bought a Tesla Model Y last year. I spent a number of years researching EV's and saving up money to afford it. If I hadn't bought the Model Y, I'd seriously consider the Kia EV6 and the Ford F-150 Lightning. Rivian R1T is also impressive but too expensive for me.

I’m sure I haven’t researched the issue as thoroughly as you have but I did just google Tesla reliability to make sure I wasn’t talking out my a$$.  On the surface anyway, the results/headlines weren’t glowing endorsements and that’s probably what I saw prior that had tainted my opinion. A few of those first glance results;

Consumer Reports still ranks Tesla reliabilty 27th out of 28.  
 

According to J.D. Power, Tesla vehicles had an average of 176 mechanical faults per 100, compared to 121 for the industry. They ranked tesla 30th out of 33 brands featured

Nearly one third of EVs had a fault, compared with a rate of 18.6% for gasoline vehicles. Kia was the most reliable EV maker in the study, while Tesla was the least reliable.Mar 4, 2022

LOL, evidence has already been provided to you numerous times in the past, whether discussing Trump's racist comments and actions, or Critical Race Theory, or BLM, or the existence of systemic racism. Huskerboard's archives are full of these discussions already. And you turned a blind eye to all of it.

Outside of calling out some of Trumps comments which I have done in the past, the other things you mentioned are nonsense.   I mean the leaders of BLM are probably going to jail for fraud :dunno .   CRT has no business in k-12 and I haven’t debated that systemic racism occurred in the countries past.   I don’t see it as a problem today.  That’s different than saying individual racism still exists today and probably will forever to some degree.  
 

Feel free to continue playing the race card and calling everyone a racist if that’s what makes you happy and satisfied.

Leaders of the GOP have gone to jail for fraud. Are you saying the entire GOP is fraudlent?

Critical Race Theory is a college course for pre-law students. It isn't taught in K-12.

You've been provided ample evidence that it continues today, but you choose to ignore it.

One of the issues with these studies is that many of them are owner surveys and are fairly unreliable because it depends on how you ask the question and which group of owners you ask. I used to follow Consumer Reports years ago but consistently found that the products they recommended were often the ones that broke the soonest.

It's hard to know which sources to trust. For example this one claims Tesla have very little maintenance and rarely break down. I did my own research and then talked to a number of people who own Teslas and what their experiences were. The biggest issue for most owners wasn't the maintenance but rather that Tesla doesn't have enough service centers yet, so if you do need more than a simple repair, it can take some time to get it in to be serviced. (Although Tesla does have mobile service that will come to your house or work for minor repairs and several people said that was very convenient.)

I always tell people to go test drive a Tesla. Even if you won't buy one, they are super fun to drive. A performance EV is unlike anything you've ever driven.

If there's a hell, I hope nothing more than that the conservative faction of this false court, and all of those blithely supporting them, spend an eternity hearing the screams of the girls who have to bear the product of their rape because of this ruling.

Yeah, sorry, if you don't "believe" you can't really post this.  Hahaha

I can guarantee if it came to that, he would’ve been the responsible party to blame. Words and flag sayings aren’t enough for determining legal fault. He would’ve had to physically attack me or shoot at me before I would’ve shot him and that sir would be self defense. Anything else I can clear up for you today?

Irrelevant in this conversation.  Whether or not how @JJ Husker responded to "bumper sticker guy" was a good idea, is a different conversation.  This was about carrying a gun, possibly providing a security blanket when it comes to dealing with a situation, so to speak.  It never was about legality of a hypothetical shooting.  It seems you're trying to make it about something other that what it was intended.

He didn't respond to anything, He imitated the conversation.
