👍 POSITIVE
Great point about guilt-free driving. I'm the type to really baby a car during warm up, and I'm inherently cheap (about gas, wearables, reliability) so I'll really pick and choose times to really hammer the throttle on a car. I would probably abuse a Tesla / BEV car pretty well if I owned one.
👍 POSITIVE
Great review. Well written, detailed, and entertaining.
