:sass: you can't hold an argument period. Result in name calling... Very adult of you. I'll let you talk to yourself in this thread. Have fun.
Eh, you are not wrong. Like the g8 detroitplac before me ( :member: ), I'm simply tired of rehashing the same bullshit over and over with your ignorant ass. So, I'll call some names and force you to leave without your ball.

Success.

This is :fax: thread now. :fuckyeah:
I think you need to start drinking again. You're ...... different when you're on the wagon.

What UPS really needs are local delivery trucks on electric. I imagine their fuel costs are astronomical for the little piddly bs short trips these trucks endure, especially with starting and stopping the diesel engines so often.

Ever heard of Cintas?
They are a rather large company that supply cleaning agents, uniforms, TP, rugs for restaurants and industrial facilities. A lot of their trucks are hybrids but they all break so they just run on only gas. kinda sad/funny but whatcha gonna do? Since they had such a poor experience with hybrids in the past it might be a while before they try again.
We keep shutting down electrical power plants and building more houses. It'll be interesting to see what happens in 15 years or even ten.
No new housing without solar. I think its a great idea.

What does this comment even mean?
It means have you ever been in one, spent some actual time driving one, seen it up close in detail in person, etc.

While quality testing we have comparison tests where we buy a few different competitor vehicles to compare. Back to back same route data logged test drives, fit and finish, quality comparison, wear and tear comparison, quality over time, etc. I have a bunch of time with a model S. Leaving my thoughts out of it I’m just curious to hear any first hand feedback from others to see what they thought.

Tesla earned a rating of 90 on the Consumer Reports survey -- slightly lower than its 91 rating last year -- while Porsche scored an 85. In third place, Hyundai's luxury Genesis marque earned a score of 81. Fiat Chrysler's Chrysler had the highest rating of any American brand other than Tesla, coming in fourth with a 78.
Shitty cars. Ellon musk is a Tucker type ponzi scheme con artist. Fake news.
