Now that's what I'd call a deliberately provocative statement. Some might even call it trolling. Not that I would. ;-) I'll take the bait anyway. ;-) I know which car I'd rather be driving when your big old pickup truck is hurtling toward me at 70mph. I'd have a far better chance of getting out of your way; and if I didn't manage to, I'd have a far better chance of surviving the crash. Understand, given the current choice in EVs (and vehicles in general), I would NOT buy a Tesla, even if I were wealthy enough to afford one. However, if I had to choose between a Tesla and a Model T, I'd take the Tesla, even at its much higher price. By all accounts Ts were stinky gross polluters. They were unreliable, cranky (literally), a chore to drive, uncomfortable (especially in cold weather), and outright hazardous. Their brakes and steering were worse than a Citicar's. I too resent the fact that all automakers (not just Tesla) are trying to monopolize repair work by making their products impossible for normal people to fix. But I'm not so focused on that one issue that I exclude everything else. No way am I going to give up 100 years of automotive development (or even 50) just on that one issue.
