Wow…you drove a Tesla for 180 thousand miles and this is first I’ve hear you owning one.
What model and year?

And it was 3.7.
Depends on model and battery. My 2017 was 2.3. Fastest until the Plaid model.

As for my battery powered tools…they were great. Very handy to have.
Even than you get about 8 years out of my last set.
Meanwhile I have old Milwaukee, Porter cable electric power tools that I bought in early 80’s that still using.

He claims he was on his second Tesla…after putting on 180,000 miles on it.
That’s why I asked what year. Roadsters if my memory serves me correct weren’t that quick.
He has talked about owning them before. I don’t believe he said he had a roadster. Mine is a model S P100D not a roadster.
It wasn’t until 5 or 6 years ago Tesla broke 0 to 60 in 3 seconds. But again I could be wrong.
I know they’re quick now, I test drove em. Fun cars…and feeling when you floor em.
I’ve mention my ownership several times on the forum. I owned a 2014 model S P85D for 6 years. Now I have a Model Y.
Inferior EV’s will be polluting the earth right along side solar panels and wind turbines soon enough.
It was never green, and all these idiots that got duped into buying in are now trying to pretend like they did it for any actual kind of practical purpose. There is no fool quite like a virtuous one.

I’ve seen those, never test drove one thou.
It says 3.1 to 60.
Getting onto fast lane of freeway is a breeze no doubt.
That was in 2017. 2014 I saw 3.1. The one that PG described.
BTW…EV Mustang just isn’t right IMO.
Seen couple of them out here…land of EV’s. And Porch too.
Not sure how quick the Porch was but what fun is that?
As for EV versus gas. My old 86 had over half million miles on it.
First motor I rebuilt at cost of 1200,00.
Than bought a grate motor and put lot of high performance parts into it. Cost 6 grand.
Try that with EV. That’s why IMO they’re throw away vehicles.
once the batter goes in 10/12 years. Value of vehicle is not much more than ZERO.
Same for my battery tools.
The entire argument from the Left on the push to go green is ALL about SAVING THE PLANET! It’s not about air-conditioning and electricity, not sure if you are aware but we had both of those things already. Regarding air-conditioning are not aware that’s killing the planet as well.
Alternative energy has been a national security issue for a while.
At that time, natural gas was generating at 45 percent installed capacity and at two-thirds of its summer capacity rating; around 8,000 MW of natural gas capacity was unavailable at that time due to unplanned resource outages, close to the estimated extreme risk outage amount in ERCOT’s analysis.
About 2,300 MW of coal generation was also offline unexpectedly, along with 8,700 MW of wind and solar combined.
Despite all that, normal conditions were maintained largely due to solar production during the sunny afternoon and wind avoiding a severe dip in production, which has occurred before on hot summer days.
Green energy is literally keeping the air-conditioning on every day, while gas is having a lot of forced outages due to the harsh weather.
You due know the winter storm stopped the windmills in TX also don’t you? Hurricanes also shut down windmills. Bad weather does not discriminate the power source it impacts. It affects them all.

Now that’s a practical use for an electric motor. I just got back from the Rotonda last Saturday and it was quite roasty toasty down there. I’m pretty much Cuban now.

Right. Which is what they were, and probably still are, trying to do with beyond meats.
