As someone already pointed out, ICEs are NOT going away in our lifetime. As long as there is a demand, manufacturers will produce them. So enjoy your fun loud Camaro, and don't be afraid to buy the Bolt for your daily commuter. |

I have not heard anyone say in a review that the Taycan is anything but awesome. Comparing a Model 3 to a Camaro let alone a true sports sedan for handling is not a fair comparison.

I know auto engineers are yelling "Listen! We can build you a better, faster car that can handle better! Please, try it. Its different but better! Overtime it will be cheaper."
Customer:"....No. I want my rumble noise. If it aint broke don't fix it." Seriously though, the Tesla doesn't handle as well as other cars due to the weight; however, Tesla isn't a stagnant company. It will change due to technology and weight distribution. Also, the Tesla 3 and S weren't designed to do the Autobaun. Its a commuter car that happens to be fast so its not apples-to-apples to compare it to a Miata or Camaro. The Taycan and Roadster on the other hand... |

There is HUGE demand for pens. Just because you don't one, doesn't mean nobody else does either.

Except if humanity dies if you get fat. Then you are only getting 30s.

So yes, I absolutely get it. A bad day in traffic with a stick is better than any day with an automatic. |

Electric power is great if it is used as intended. To power starting motors which start ICE's. Or........ Maybe if we want "true clean" switch to peddle cars.

Being in horrible Manhattan/LA at 5:00-type traffic everyday, ALL day, 365 days a year with a stick is STILL better than any amount of time driving an automatic. Hope that’s a little clearer for you. |
