High speed very long road trips in an area without charging, ok how often does everyone do that and has not a second car or could say rent one from for $50 for that once in a year scenario? Montana charging network? Same charge in your garage if you live in town and if not you likely know a big 4wd truck is the answer for the deep snow, neither a ZL1 or Camaro in real life. Der but yur Tesla cain't swim can it..
But one time in band camp the power went out...and a hurricane was coming and a tree fell down on the road and..
I leave Tesla at least half charged, do you leave your car out of gas at home? Have you tried to fill up at the gas station when the pumps have no power? Gas costs FAR more than electricity where I live, that's mostly overlooked with the haters. Them things is gonna burn I saw it on yahoo...

Who is saying you must buy it and it is the very best option in everyone's only car situation? I got into minivans too many years back. I would cringe at the thought but after riding in one and seeing the benefits to ME I put aside my initial dislike with no experience with one.

I had a Firebird with a 2.73 geared rear and trans that didn't kick down as fast as it should and I enjoyed being able to lean into the throttle without getting attention. I had my ZL1 out yesterday and it provides a fun driving experience too but not in the same ways as a fast stealthy good enough handling and breaking Tesla. Oh but they aren't good for Indy500 or my Top speed roadtrack that my ZLE is. Yep, and who is arguing that for you're very narrow usage. Just like your ZLE won't pull a utility trailer with a tractor. Different tools for different uses but most people can use an EV.
Dude…stop making sense. You’re gonna piss off the locals.
