- bagels 4y agoThe Tesla is slightly more comfortable, convenient, and I don't have to commission a whole Apollo program to get one.

- bagels 4y agoPrior to Tesla, there was not really any mass market electric car and charging network. Seems revolutionary, since all the other manufacturers are following the lead to make their own electric cars now.
- alsodumb 4y agoWe had social media before Facebook/instagram era too. Heck we had electric cars before gasoline powered cars became a thing. I think it’s obvious at this point that Tesla was the first to bring commercial electric vehicles in production at scale, and the first to make it compete with ICE vehicles for the masses - well beyond the niche who’ve been using an electric car since Leaf era.

- blisterpeanuts 4y agoUnlike the Apollo LRV (Lunar Roving Vehicle), you don't need a spacesuit to drive a Tesla. Plus, I think a Tesla has more range. As an interesting aside, the LRV had non-rechargeable batteries (two 36-volt silver-zinc potassium hydroxide non-rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 121 amp-hr, according to Nasa).
