You're going to snicker over that?


EV drivers aren't paying their fair share of road usage and are generally pompous about not having to pay it.

So, yes, I will snicker. To my earlier point though, they will most likely get the last laugh because I'm quite confident the feds are simply going to have both taxes in place so that ICE drivers are paying double to try and incentivize them to go EV.

So you're doubling down with the OP? That's some fine company.

The app worked on a different car. Looked similar so the dude drove off in someone else's Tesla.

Now tell me how many Teslas are stolen vs conventional "dumb" vehicles.

Wait… what….

Teslas are less likely to be stolen by… 90%:

Being parked in a garage charging overnight does have its advantages.

That's not the reason, 112 of 115 that were stolen were recovered. The national average is 58%. If you steal one you're not doing more than a joy ride.

You can do that with Lojack as well.

Excellent point you teased out of this article:

Quote:

Moore said one reason the two Tesla vehicles are almost 90% less likely to be stolen than the average car could be that many electric cars are parked in garages or close to homes so that the cars are close to a power supply for recharging batteries.
I think one of the main issues here is that myself and everyone I know that drives ICE vehicles park our cars in dimly lit parking lots several miles from our homes each evening. We then take Uber back and forth from our homes to these parking lots.

That is probably not only leading to our cars getting stolen at a higher rate but is also possibly not very efficient.

Not at all. This thread is about Tesla being "finished."Seems like a good place to discuss steering wheels falling off, seat bolts breaking, software recalls, and class action lawsuits.

So a heavily modified $120,000 POS Camaro is only 5 mph faster and slower in the 1/4 mile than a stock Tesla family Sedan with upgraded brakes?

And doesn't have to be recharged for awhile after that run?

Why don't you come back when Tesla or any other EV can win 24 hour LeMans or 24 hours at Daytona?

Come on! Ford versus Ferrari. Honda, Toyota. All of the battles between car companies came down to racing.

Win the race? Get the pub your car was better.

Tesla has a racing car now?

A Model S has four doors and isn't a POS Camaro.

Racing is about as relevant as when you switched to 18 wheelers on your "I'll never own an EV" thread

What the **** does 24 motor sports have to do with the consumer vehicle market?

And the most elite race cars in the world ditched their V10's and went to V6 turbocharged hybrids

It would probably blow Aggiehawgs mind to know that the best racing car in the world right now is made by an energy drink manufacturer.

Because it's a stock consumer vehicle, not a race car.

And no consumer is driving it that fast. So, it's irrelevant.
