Yes I know how to drive a manual, I learned many years ago. I'm from the US and I'm 42.

Learned on an old beat up truck when I was like 20, I remember I got stuck stalling out on the highway once, I don't even remember how. I freaked out so bad. 8 years ago I had 2012 Mazdaspeed 3. I miss that car so so much.

You know what that's probably correct. I will look out for that going forward.

Yea I had an instance of this as well. "I totally agree to do this evil thing in your place, leave it up to me guys go have a drink on me" was a lie. I couldn't make up the disapproval from 2 other party members even when I saved the person afterwards.

That's still not luxury in this market. I priced one myself ended up at 48k. That's not luxury anymore in this market.

But I digress. I'm not a Tesla lover or anything just saying they're not luxury cars. I don't even have an EV yet and don't want a Tesla.

"suffering a bit less". Wow. Just unimaginable.

I lived in snowy af Ohio for 8 years with a Kia Sephia. I was poorer than now then and couldn't afford snow tires yet I made it just fine. I'd always see trucks and SUVs driving crazy fast down the highway, and saw 2 crash right in front of me.

I'm with you, people do not need SUVs for the snow.

So Tesla's have quality issues I agree with, Elon is an asshole I also agree with. But not all Tesla's are a Plaid. They start at $35k, the Y at 40k. They are most assuredly not luxury vehicles and I'm not sure why people keep thinking this.

If you have 20 kids and a great Dane I guess you're right. If you have 2 kids and a dog that's on you.
