It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I guess I wasn't really discussing the economical or environmental benefits or negatives of either of the types of vehicles. I was more describing that somebody who likes to ride, and ride hard, will probably not want one as it won't have the range that they require under load. Exactly as my experience seeing the Teslas sitting in the slow lane in Germany demonstrate.

No, it’s my fault. I was supposed to be responding to another comment about pollution. Sorry for the confusion.

Got you. No problem
