The Tesla owner said getting stuck in his driveway was “annoying as hell,” and he tried everything from hosing the car down to jumping the battery.

    It’s news because it’s anti-EV propaganda funded by the gas industry. Articles like this exist solely to get car buyers on the fence to not buy an EV.

        The Leaf is pretty much the worst option you can get. There are plenty of others, cheaper, and better, that actually have thermal management on the pack. Unless you’re buying used, in which case the Leaf can be fairly good value, if all you’re doing is city driving.

        This right here. I fully plan for my next vehicle to be completely EV but refuse to give tesla any money at all. Currently it’s not in my realistic price range but Rivian has some pretty sweet choices

          Would recommend this over the Leaf, but if I recall correctly, Hyundai’s latest EV’s may not have a manual outdoor door release. You won’t get this in US markets, but in Europe and Australasia, I do know the MG is cheaper than both Nissan and Hyundai, and do have manual releases on all their doors.

      Well, Elno is certainly doing his own anti-advertising campaign well. I’d never buy a Tesla because that dumbffffk who gives nazis a microphone will profit of it, but there are a lot of very good alternatives out there now.
