> articles like this really annoy me, as they don't provide any meaningful substance
If you've thought about owning an electric vehicle, one of the first thoughts that pops into your head is "what happens if I run out of juice in the middle of nowhere?" Including questions like "How does the car behave? Does it just shut off?" to "How does AAA handle it?" to "How hard is it to get going again?" A lot of other commenters are raising points that the author was kind of a dumbass. But as it turns out, I too fuck up every so often, so I'd like to know what happens when I do.
The article goes a long way towards answering those questions. I'm probably not going to get an electric car anytime soon but I don't see anything in the article as particularly anti-Tesla or even anti-electric.
- sologoub 13y agoI guess being a car enthusiast, I am not surprised a tow company refused to tow an expensive car they are not familiar with. When the 350Z just came out and was relatively rare, some tow companies refused to deal with them because they required a flatbed and special care due to super low clearance. This is relatively common, though not in issue in most large metro areas.
