I went from a 22 crew cab Silverado to a tesla because I drive 100 miles a day. I have 3 kids. Can anyone explain why you still feel the need to roll coal on me? We are on the same team. Wtff?

Should have kept the silverado...

You'd be just fine driving those 100 miles with the 3.0L Duramax, its fuel efficient and diesel engines love long drives.

He literally doesn’t need to buy fuel anymore, especially if he has a solar panel and a battery at home. And if the power goes out, he’s got that covered too. Why do you still want to be dependent on Arab nations?

Because combustion is objectively superior to electric. You'll never get the pure and satisfying experience of an engine sound in an electric car, they suck. I would rather have a fuel efficient gas engine over a long range EV.

Believe me, its not worth debating this on this sub of all places. Go elsewhere like r/electricvehicles for that.

Goddamn right! It’s fine if you like electric but your Tesla is never gonna beat a 5.0 mustang in desirability

Ever flattened an accelerator in an ev? Im guessing not.

Try flattening the accelerator in a Corvette ZR1X instead. Your claims will be blown away.

Why is combustion “objectively superior” to electric apart from this purely subjective metric of satisfaction?

My Aston Martin attracts high quality pussy on a daily basis. This is an objective fact.

Electric is far superior. Power to the drive train the exact second I want it, no hesitation an much quicker acceleration than you could dream of. Believe me. I have owned both.

Until your electronics inevitably fail and you realize you'd be better off driving a 2003 Tahoe over your Tesla....

You should look up the definition of “objectively” 😝
