I happen to also have a degree in EE. It doesn't make it any easier to find a bad ground or an intermittent short somewhere in the 2 miles of largely inaccessible wiring in your car which you have no schematics for.

Exactly why you shouldn't buy a Tesla. My truck isn't laced up with the latest fancy electronics. Replacing door lock actuators? No prob, electronic side steps not working? No prob.
I dunno. If I could add any tech to my truck it would be Bluetooth, charging pad, and led indicators for when a car is next to me. Absolutely nothing more, those to me are my essentials.

Well the bluetooth part is easy.
I use this thing in one of our tractors and it just works. I have actually replaced the head unit in several other machines to have bluetooth and frankly, I like this better than the pioneer receivers I've put in. 20 bucks and it just does what it's supposed to do and nothing else. I've even successfully had phone calls over it while driving the tractor which I did not expect at all because it's pretty noisy in there.

The 2018 is already the 4 cylinder 718 model right? No thank you. Also, convertibles are for fags.
I'd do a Cayman GT4 or a 911 over the C8, because the flat-6 makes nice music, but the 4 cylinder is ass. Literally sounds like a WRX. Fucking AIDS.

All cars are heavily electronic now, anyway. Idiot.

Beyond the government subsidy nonsense I don't get the hate for Tesla. If I didn't find the styling so bland I'd have one.

I'll say it if no one else will: Teslas are styled more poorly than Hondas. Their paint and lines are just ugly.
I want to assume their handling sucks, but I think Cad would find fault with that.

The Model 3 looks like something I would buy the hypothetical wifey to drive the kids to school, while the Model S just looks dated at this point. I liked it when it first came out, but it's become seriously dated looking imho.

plug in only makes no sense to me, like what if you have to drive over 200 miles? then you have to google where are the chargers at, and is this my charging outlet compatible?
it'd be some kind of hybrid, thats why i was looking at the Prius AWDe, and yes i will admit it is a faggy car still

Honestly after driving a pure EV - its either one or the other ... a hybrid system does give you the "real" advantages of a EV... aka the essential zero maintenance, increased reliability and lifespan that is just reliant upon your battery life.
If batteries got cheaper/better and you could just swap one out for a decent cost- your EV cars essentially would last for 20 years fairly easy.
A hybrid system destroys that and ADDS complexity, cost and wear to the entire system. Add in that there are tons of small little i4's rolling around high 20-3X MPG in the city, there is not much reason for hybrids.
