    The truck is shit, but I’m with ya on the Model 3. I have a friend with one and it feels nice to ride in. I like the air in front, you can have the air streams come out however you want. Whatever the “go from being stopped to INSANELY FAST SUDDENLY AAAAAAAA” mode is, blew me away. Both my partner and I shrieked—we had never felt that kind of acceleration before.

      Have I got a life-changing revelation for you: that acceleration is the hallmark of EVs. You literally could not design an EV with bad acceleration unless you actively limit it. Any EV has that acceleration, not just the Model 3.

        Can you show me a similarity priced EV that goes from 0-60 in like three seconds? I’ve been in other EVs and they all have great instant torque, but none of them had that kind of acceleration.

        Totally untrue. Yes, lots of low end torque is a hallmark of EVs, but there’s still a wide range of how much, and a corresponding range of timing results.
