@MorganRitson @jmontforttx I'm not even a Tesla fan and they are easily the best electric cars out there.
But I will stick with my old V8

@jmontforttx Lobbying killed competition and innovation. Teslas are among the worst electric cars in the world, but because they have control of the US, they can have legislated away anything that might push them to innovate.

How did American manufacturers fall behind so quickly with a technology they created less than 15 years ago.

Chinese carmaker BYD unveils a recharge as fast as filling up with gas
English
@cjustreamshow @LamarMK I rented one last weekend. It was fun and unique but the range is absolutely horrible and I was in Massachusetts where it was cold which I guess drains the battery faster.
Maybe I would have better luck down here in Texas
English
Here is your proof that you need to buy a Cybertruck.
From 0 to 100% it would cost me $25 at a Tesla Supercharger. A Ford F-150 is costing people upwards of $140 to fill up with gas. At home it's even cheaper, under $15 for a full charge.
And no it does not take 30 hours. You can charge for 15 to 30 minutes and get back a solid amount of range or stay for an hour and full charge.
When I make statements I have the receipts to back them up.
This is a big truck with a huge battery. The Model 3 and Model Y cost way less to charge and operate.
Go buy a Tesla. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Not having to buy gas has saved me a lot of money.
How much are you spending on gas right now?
Lamar MK@LamarMK
Many people are scared to get a Tesla because they think they need to spend $5000 or more to install a charger at home. No you don't. I charge my Tesla using a regular 240v outlet in my garage. Same outlet as a dryer. Your local electrician can install one for under $500. Your new Tesla already comes with a mobile connector that plugs right into it. If you want a Tesla Wall Connector, that's $450 and about $500 to install. Get home, plug it in, and by the time you finish making dinner it's fully charged. Charging at home can cost you under $3 a day. No more spending $60 a week on gas. The savings of driving an EV are HUGE and it starts on day one. What's stopping you from making the switch?

@ambuhbam @thecavemommy I just rented one this past weekend. Hated it at first, now I kinda want one.

@thecavemommy The Tesla truck actually fits 3 car seats. It’s shockingly huge inside. I don’t have one, but I was the mom that asked that question to a couple at Costco when they were loading up ahaha.
English
Until Tesla makes an actual sizable vehicle for a family of 5 or 6 with car seats (minivan size) they are just not feasible cars for everyone

I don’t think people realize how affordable Teslas have gotten. A new Model Y is $530/month. (72 months)

@JessePeltan @elonmusk Remember when oil megacorps price gouged people to wishing they had a Tesla? The problem is that people who cant afford $5 gas cant afford an $1000+ a month payment for 84 months🤷♂️

@jeff_of_norwich My wife gets 9 weeks a year. I work for myself and take as much as I feel I need.

I refuse to believe that Americans only get two weeks off a year
That's bloody criminal
You should get at least five, NOT including public holidays

If you didn’t serve, I don’t think your opinion matters about VA disability. The general public don’t understand how the system operates. Of course there’s fraud, unfortunately. However, maybe we can all look away from the rage bait and do even a modicum of research before we speak on matters we know nothing about as civilians ✨🫶🏻

@notcoolxer @BuckSexton I'm wearing a $12,000 Rolex and think spending that much on an umbrella is idiotic
English
Raining hard on our way to dinner,
Carrie says "we have a nice umbrella, someone will try to steal it."
I say "oh, it will be fine"
She asks hostess to put in safe spot
Dinner finishes, hostess hands us umbrella on our way out:
"Someone tried to steal it, but I stopped them" she says
Always listen to wifey 🫡

@Nowooski im presuming 'digital key' means something other than the digital key card they give you at the front desk and opens the door then?
and you can use the lights as much as you want they're not rationed, they just turn off and on automatically when you do for simplicity
English
Did not expect Texas of all places to have European-style electrical rationing in hotel rooms.
Also, a bit of a critical design oversight when the hotel chain aggressively pushes digital keys.

Danny is just another leech that wants to take and take from Americans and give nothing back. That's why he was on welfare in the army for his entire life

Currently at the DMV trying to get a REAL ID.
So far I’ve provided:
• Driver’s license
• Passport
• Social Security card
• Birth certificate
• Proof of address
Next is my mom’s pregnancy ultrasound, a blood sample & my pre-K report card.
Bonus for them if I leave crying!

Median home prices in Texas rose by 40% between 2019 and 2023. Some 320,000 new housing units are needed. To help meet demand, JPMorganChase has provided financing for 7,000 new affordable homes—with more to come.

@BillMelugin_ @RealDeanCain 43% of all illegal aliens are from overstayed visas. Over staying visas is also technically NOT a crime but a violation.

Hearing from federal sources that she is in the US illegally as a visa overstay as she entered on a tourist visa in 2021 but violated the terms of it by never leaving. Complicated case though, as she later applied for asylum and Biden admin gave her a work permit/EAD (which isn't legal status). But it's one of those cases where someone has permission from the federal government to work in the US but has no lawful status in the US at the same time (yes, both those things can be true)... Immigration law will make your head spin.
