This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Been very satisfied with Model X for 3 years now. Trying to by eriendfan

talk my wife into a Model Y to replace her third and final mini-van. Now that she is a grandmother, she is considering something smaller.

She is totally anti-Tesla and probably anti-EV. She is very concerned about charging and running out of charge even though we have taken long trips in the Model X. But she points out all the charging stops not realizing I would need to stop anyway to empty "my tank". And she will only be driving around town mostly and knows that each morning you wake up to a full battery and you never have to go get gas.

I am going to keep trying. I think the Model Y is a very close to perfect car and will be the standard of comparison for many years.

I am not a big hybrid fan unless you are always going to be under warranty. You get the complexity of both systems and it seems kind of dumb. My daughter was going to get a hybrid Toyota Sienna or Chrysler Pacifica and i talked her into just going for the gas Pacifica. The Toyota was only in hybrid and was much more expensive.
