There's a tool called fakespot which would analyze the reviews and give the product a grade. It has the right idea but I think these professional sellers have circumvented them... Just like you, I also updated my review when I downgrad

Yep...this was known all along by anyone who has ever used Amazon. Now we need to deal with places like Slickdeals which now pushes crap to front page by their partners and bans competitors. This is another way to drive reviews. Though they

I reread my comment and I sound like an ass and I'm sorry. I'm just frustrated that I think we'll have a long road ahead in reaching mass adoption if people keep hearing these one off scenarios and think of the vehicles on a

Then...don't get an EV truck? You're not the target audience. Might be a 360 round trip capability. Someone else will need to take their cows 400 miles round trip...then 420? At what point is good enough is good enough. Your criti

Since the rebate is per manufacturer you are penalizing the first movers. Meaning, Tesla and GM's electric vehicles are $7500 costlier than Ford because they exhausted their rebates early on. The cap should have been for the entire cou

There is a whole industry around this...and I'd say you (and I) were many years too late. Once you find a good product others will come for it. If I find something "cool" on Amazon I check Aliexpress. If it's a significa

On the flip side, if you have AirTags on your keys, you always need to bring your phone even if you go for a quick errand. Or you go on vacation, give some keys to a friend/neighbor to dog sit, house sit...and it starts beeping. Good i
