Already did about sales a couplem posts ago. Give that "reading" thing a try, you won't look like you are..you know...from where you are. And I include all kinds of personal experience as well. Sort of like you could about...you know...bending fruit.
On a related note, I was on walk-about (is it a faux-pas to use terms from islands owned by a King but owned by the Chinese?) and as it turns out, even I can be surprised by EVs!
There I was, wandering the Rocky Mountain west, and out in the middle of nowhere, a bunch of nonwheres and I'll be darned if I will now modify my opinion on not seeing many Tesla's when out and about in the American hinterlands. Moab down to Monument Valley, Tesla's. Folks at hotels in the Navajo Nation....Tesla's. The North Rim of the Grand Canyon? Teslas. Out in the middle of places where there weren't towns, let alone charging stations for 50 or 75 miles in either direction, and I'd pull into a gas station and park beside...a Tesla. Nice couple, California plates...what?
So until I can test this hypothesis in just as remote areas of say, North Dakota, northern Minnesota, northern Wiscosin, and the UP of Michigan (stay tuned, trip inbound in weeks!), I am currently having to lean towards the proliferation for these pricey long range EVs as rapidy expanding beyond just tooling around suburbia or between large cities with known charging capability.

What the Truck, Elon?Turns out, the Cybertruck had a few other design flaws. Leaked Tesla documents from January 2022 have revealed an array of problems with the handling, braking, suspension, and chassis of the Cybertruck’s prototype. Most of the Cybertruck’s physical problems appear fixable, but auto industry experts are shocked that Tesla was still encountering so many issues so late in the vehicle’s development.

Again, cherry picking old issues and pretending they are current? What, you figure normal folks can't read when the article was published?
Well lookee here...couple months ago...turns out they are happily delivering chips and soda across Northern California.
And now Tesla is delivering more!T

Does anyone know at what point does mindless blubbering become obvious buffoonery?
