Im amazed that none of these manufactuers have made a UI like a smortphone (I think Volvo's might be similar? im not sure about Tesla) With a touch screen it'll be so intuitive and easy to understand. Touchscreens on the other hand, they have to be responsive otherwise they are just as frustrating. My old Honda Fit's wasnt the most responsive and it got a little bit annoying. My Scion Im (using the much loved Pioner HU that is the same as the FRS/86) is pretty responsive but its also pretty basic so there isnt much functionality to it. |

All I saw in this ad was "Hey, look at all the crap we built in so you won't be bored while you're waiting an hour for your car to charge!"

Good video, very balanced in terms of opinions, in my opinion. Even if he did call the yoke from a plane a "plane steering wheel" after referring to the one in a Tesla by the proper yoke term.
Unfortunately for me, Tesla continues to move away from anything I would want to buy. Here's why:

Every time I'm about convinced that I should buy an EV I see something like this. So, on a 2,000 mile road trip he spent about 21% of his time fueling his car. Ugmm... no thanks.
Also, I love the "Hey, I'm on an snow covered road but I'm making a video so I need to use my hands for not driving..in fact I'll take both hands off the wheel..watch me slowly drift out of my lane and have to correct back". Some interesting points though on the not charging to full, charging more frequently, etc.

EDIT: I posted this before watching it. I am impressed with how involved Elon Musk is to his products. For instance, I don't know if Tim Cook could give the same type of answers on materials, electronics, etc in their iPhones or Mac products, nor could Mark Zuckerburg give such detail about the details of things going on at Facebook, at least that seems to be the case from his interviews in front of congress. Musk seems to be very hands on. I'm especially in agreement about his point about MBA school. Far too many of these idiots are leading companies with their ten million dollar CEO salaries without actually knowing their product intimately and developing knowledge and expertise in the field. I'm also in agreement about shorting the market. Wished they had a chance to talk about SpaceX, even if it wasn't Monro's focus.

are some of these superchargers that are off the road just in like a parking lot-ish place with nothing around?
So at those places you just gotta wait there for like 20mins to get your car in a good enough state of charge? |

Most superchargers are in close/walking proximity to dinning and shopping centers, but there are probably exceptions, and as time progresses on, there will be more and more than are not in these key areas.
