Seems like they really do give a license and an '09 Altima to anyone with a pulse.

IMHO, Telsas are the new reigning champ for aggressive driving.

Teslas are 50/50 tho. Half are old BMW drivers that wanted the new status symbol and still drive like aggressive cunts. The other half are old Prius drivers who want to maximize efficiency and drive like absolute grandpa's. Altima is almost guaranteed to be aggressively driven.

Yeah i’ve noticed that too. Some crazy aggressive Tesla drivers, with the rest being SUPER slow, bad drivers that shouldnt be on the road (or at least major highways).

It’s funny; I live in a Tesla hotspot and I actually notice slow teslas more than aggressive ones, maybe because I’m surprised they’re being so overly cautious. I guess it’s because everyone seems to have one here. Or… maybe it’s because they’re distracted. Yeah, that’s very possible…

(Full disclosure: I also drive one.)

Same. I'm in the PNW and almost everyone here drives like a snail that is stoned on weed.

Ha ha ha they're not being overly cautious, it's just their overpriced car flat out lied to them about its remaining range 😂

Just waiting for that fucker to get his balls felt in the EU lol

IME in Van City, Tesla drivers seem to expect their cameras to see cyclists for them when turning right rather than actually bothering to look.

Conversely, driving a Tesla also makes you a target for aggressive driving. The number of people who feel threatened by EVs is astonishing and many are not afraid to let you know about it via cutting you off, tailgating you, or refusing to let you merge.

From my experience they get more efficient over 90 mph, I only every go that fast when I have a copilot to help me navigate and help me check lanes before passing. Anytime you let off the accelerator they recharge the battery, its extremely funny to watch the estimated arrival percentage to go up when you are crusing over 100 and occasionally taking your foot off the accelerator. Such a fun driving machine, i just wish Elon wasnt such a cunt.

It's called "Pulse glide" it gives more gains with a gas engine but still applies to many systems including HVAC.

Is this a serious comment? Teslas are waaaay less efficient over 70 mph. Going 90 mph absolutely destroys your miles/kWh.
