I notice virtually all of the driving in the video is on roads absolutely free of other traffic, and he is careful to point out that Kalifornia has lots and lots of superchargers. And I noticed that of the supercharger locations he showed, all were totally empty except for one that had another car lapping up electrons in the far distance. He clearly didn’t do his YouBoob stunt on a holiday weekend or even a regular weekend. For example...

Not all states are Kalifornia, thank goodness, and not all roads are blissfully free of traffic.

And not all areas are so richly blessed with superchargers.

I thought it was really, really special that he felt it necessary to point out that he was going to meet up with a rich celebrity.

I hate the front end styling of the Tesla 3, which is a personal thing, but even more I hate the reliance on giant touch screens which distract from the job of driving (a complaint with all recent cars, not just Tesla) though Tesla’s screens are bigger and more intrusive than most. The simplest task requires searching the huge screen for a tiny button then trying to hit it and missing if you happen to hit a bump at the same time.

These modern cars force you into distracted driving situations. And the more functions that are absorbed into the touch screen, the worse it gets. If you need to visually guide your finger to a spot on the screen, you aren’t watching the road.

Sometimes, progress really isn’t progress, and just because you CAN do something, that doesn’t mean you should.
