I just want to get to my destination, not fight. Too many angry drivers here already. Watched a guy come up behind me in a sports car to my left the other day at maybe 90 mph, pass me and then try to cut in between two cars in front of me one in the left lane, the other in the right. Crazy.Always EV's, other diesel and petrol cars put up more of a fight !
For what it's Worth-Tesla

- Start date
It is not wishful thinking but the way the EPA tests are designed. True for mileage estimates of ICE cars too. It would be nice if folks would actually read the manual before yapping on line or suing. No excuse on a Tesla as the manual is accessible on the screen.
There was a time a long time ago in a galaxy far away that I was going to drive a motorcycle until I realized you only get one accident with a motorcycle. I moved onTesla model 3 weight 1611 kg 208 KW those are nice numbers for the money.
Good acceleration , model Y is 1780 kg
Ps If i want to have a " acceleration thrill " and great touring nothing beats a motorbike ( with good weather
Ducati multistrada 1260 DVT.
Here we can only pass on the left, and people staying in the left lane going slowly get a ticket ! In Germany they are even better at keeping the left lanes passable for fast moving vehicles, i was overtaken going 160 mile per hour in a Porsche on the Autobahn once !
the drivers in Denmark are clearly more polite than they are here. I bet they never flip you off either.Here we can only pass on the left, and people staying in the left lane going slowly get a ticket !

And don't carry guns !
I do get flipped off now and then. If your ego can't handle getting passed, don't drive slow !

Army escort with flashing blue lights , all people in the upcoming lane had to park on the road side untill we passed.
State owned company i worked for and yes they carry guns

I must admit that as good as it is I haven’t grown brass cajones to allow the car to drive in auto pilot. It is extremely accurate but coming around those turns and seeing an approaching car in the other lane just makes my heart go pitter pat. Even with my hands touching the steering wheel. It is an experience that I just can’t get used to yet
i didnt try autopilot , no time .
Regarding Tesla self driving
Apparently its not yet flawless , but getting better and better.
I do like the steering wheel

Don’t own a gun and get flipped off occasionally. I have been known to flip the bird as well, occasionally.And don't carry guns !
Reminds me of the old route 320 in Georgia. Anytime an oversized vehicle came by you had to get off the road.they carry guns there too.This is how i rode ( personal driver) from the airport in bejaia ( Algeria ) to the construction site last week .

Excuse me if I yap on. I typed in Tesla range test in my you tube search bar. I selected the first video that came up. No, I have not read the Tesla manual but i have looked at videos pf people who have.

Tesla can t be that bad , because they re everywhere lately , the showroom was packed as well with people wanting to test ride.

I think all in all, when it comes to ev Tesla is the pick of the litter.
They do need to be more candid about driving range and battery life.
Before you buy do your homework especially if live on a rural area or are a frequent long -range driver
Be especially careful when buying used. Factor in the price of a new battery.
Time will tell if the business is sustainable without government subsidy which is bound to abate. Twitter (or whatever it is named now) could also be a drain.
