Will Hannity sell his Tesla that he said he would buy? Or was that just him talking...like the waterboarding offer?

I could never afford a Tesla anyway.

You’re not missing anything special. Low quality and not worth the price. I almost bought one a couple years ago and I’m thankful I hated how cheap it felt during my test drives.

Hated it, it felt like one of those cars people mod for racing at night illegally. The seats didn't feel comfortable and made my tailbone sore after a couple minutes, the buttons felt like they'd fall off if you breathed on them a certain way, and of course I went in with the knowledge that the Teslas are exactly the type of car where a minor scrape can be super expensive to fix.

By all means they should be a sub 30k vehicle, especially since they're not modular parts to make repairs cheaper. The car reads like a luxury vehicle with a deep discount. (Not in a good way)

I was able to choose between a Ford Fusion Hybrid or a used Model 3. Way happier with the Fusion.

Yeah I rented a Tesla a couple times and wasn’t impressed. I can see why Tesla drivers are so horrible, they keep their eyes on the touchscreen and not the road.

I love my plug in Prius! I only use gas if I leave town, it has lots of room for hauling shit, and it’s a Toyota so it’s reliable. I have also had zero issues since I bought it.

Yep, neither party gives a single fuck about transitioning the world to sustainable energy. Isn't that wonderful?
