and encountered its motorized glowing orb of a shifter , reminding me that Tesla doesn't have a monopoly on whimsy. The Genesis also has a beautifully wrought interior, an adapter to turn the charge port into an outlet, and a big button marked BOOST on the steering wheel. Press that and the GV60 goes from 429 to 483 horsepower for 10 seconds, which is hilarious every time. You can drive it forward and back using the key fob. You unlock it with your face.
Back when the Model 3 came out, I was trying Tesla's Autopilot driver-assist system in California, a Tesla employee riding alongside, when the car abruptly slowed down for no apparent reason."It's doing that because it knows that there's usually traffic right here," she said,"even though there's not right now.

EzraDyer Tesla So let’s conduct a thought experiment, please list all the BEV’s that have the same or more range than a Tesla Model 3 at 353, or a Tesla Model Y at 330, and cost the same or less. I’ll wait. You might also compare 0-60. Again love to see your list. Bear in mind both are AWD.
EzraDyer Tesla Yes, the most valuable car company on earth, expanding at 50% per year is a mess, or so the gullible are lead to believe.
EzraDyer Tesla No wonder car and driver is dead
EzraDyer Tesla We briefly, BRIEFLY considered a Model Y instead of our RAV4 Prime XSE. My wife was not impressed with its build quality and as you pointed out; Tesla the company is a mess.
