Notice Tesla bettered the Porsche Taycan time for Nurburgring by 20 seconds.NICE!

Average over 30 laps?

Yes, stick with the Yaris, it will get you to your destination for a very low cost.

One of the indications that you're dealing with an a$$hole on a thread is that the aforementioned sphincter will throw in a gratuitous insult to people with whom he/she disagrees. You have no idea what sort of car I drive

Each lap is 12.8 miles.
A Tesla might make that distance, possibly?
Porsche Taycan not even close.

You said in #65: “and conspicuously displaying how you can buy an expensive car that used a lot of resources to build”

The antipode of your supposition would be a nice Toyota Yaris, since that is your position, probably what you drive.
Or something similar.

Or do you just fabricate it as you type?

I'm not a fan of electric cars. Their entire rational is not based on logic, but rather feelings. "I'm saving the planet" meanwhile using more resources to build the thing than could possibly be offset by burning coal (rather than petrol). I have nothing against people buying expensive cars - if you can afford a Koenigsegg go for it, but don't pretend that you're saving the planet at the same time. It's the hypocrisy of buying an electric "green" (ha ha) car that consumed more resources than could ever be offset by the electric generation mix that I object to, and as far as performance goes lets see a tesla do this

You might be a redneck an a$$hole if your first response to the person you're having a conversation with includes an insult.

Oh wow! Still in high school?

From #65:
conspicuously displaying how you can buy an expensive car that used a lot of resources to build.

Do you ever read what you write?

Apparently not.

Sadly, your parents provide you with little or no guidance.

In the big cities their many government agencies that could help you.

The Society for Brain-Damaged Welders may be able to help.

If you call, tell them Gottlieb sent you.

Good Luck!

Sadly it is misapplied.

No joke. If you’re ignorant enough to buy one of those things knowing the company’s problems and obvious crap way that they treat their customers, I can’t feel sorry for you. I can drive my car from Salt Lake to Vegas on a tank of gas in 6 hours. For a Tesla, you have to get a hotel because you have to charge it overnight when you’re barely halfway there. I don’t know how you’re going to find a charging station in the southern Utah desert, good luck with that!

No freakin’ doubt. I’ve been buying cars that are a year or two used with 20,000 or so miles on them for about 15 years now and I’ve never had a problem. They’re probably better than new because the original owner had any problems fixed before I got it. I’m getting a car for 1/2-2/3 the price of new and it’s not even broken in yet, I’m crazy not to do it. And since I’m expecting a few dings, they don’t bother me when I find them. I care about how the car runs, not how perfect the paint job is.

No doubt. What do those fruit-baskets think that manilla envelope with paper 1/2” thick was that they walked out with? You’ll remember doing the paperwork, even if you didn’t read or listen to a damn thing, because of the writer’s cramp that you’ll have for half a day from signing every page of that contract. (Think it’s bad? Try buying a house!)

We have refinanced our house several times and every time it has gotten worse. The number of documents and signatures is just staggering.

I’m going through old family papers from the 30s when my Grandpa bought his first lot and got a loan to build his house. I think there was one signature!

The paperwork has become a complete load of BS these days. Its along the same line as all the idiotic warning labels that manufacturers are forced to paste all over everything. And this goes along with the 5 or more pages of warnings that you get that say “read before you use” that accompany things like cell phones, that have no real instructions.

I think I counted ten stickers on a step ladder I bought recently. Simple extension cords have three or four. And everything has a California Prop 65 cancer warning. If anybody conducted a study of the results of Prop 65 stickers, they’d find it prevented exactly zero cancers.
