being on a track and being able to hear what my tires are doing, individually, in the absence of engine and exhaust (and intake) noises, is a pretty cool level of connectedness and engagement.

"I can't charge at home" should be an easy way to shut down an EV evangelist. That should be a "get out of conversation free" card.

I say that as an EV evangelist myself, and I lived a few years in a condo with an EV and no EV charging in the garage (and adding charging was going to be cost prohibitive if even possible at all due to already crowded infrastructure). It sucked and ain't nobody got time for that.

Jeez, don't give the data brokers any more ideas!

Because the first model year for the Nissan Leaf was 2011, not 2010.

Most cars are physically manufactured a year or so before the model year. If you want to search for Leafs (Leaves?) manufactured in 2010, look for model year 2011.

I'm going to be laughing in my wheetabix when there's not a single EV older than a decade on their original batteries.

Not defending Tesla is free, you can just immediately enjoy the immense benefits of not defending Tesla.

I cannot fathom how anyone can honestly believe Tesla is entirely faultless in any of this, completely and totally free of any responsibility whatsoever.

I'm not gonna say they're 100% responsible but they are at least 1% responsible.

Leaving room for user error in this sort of situation is unacceptable at Tesla's scale and with their engineering talent, as hamstrung as it is by their deranged leadership
