2.8 million miles and no maintenance!

It all makes sense when only white people face discrimination and climate change is a hoax.

While the average car engine is only designed to last about 200,000 miles, the average semi engine will go approximately 1,000,000 miles. 75 percent of American communities depend solely on truck drivers to deliver goods and services.Feb 23, 2016

They don't make engines.



1.A motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy while an engine converts various other forms of energy to mechanical energy.
2.An engine is a mechanical device that uses a fuel source to create an output.
3.The word “engine” is generally used to refer to a reciprocating engine (steam or internal combustion) while “motor” is generally used to refer to a rotating device such as an electric motor.
4.An engine is made up of pistons and cylinders while a motor is made up of rotors and stators.
Tesla builds all their vehicles from the ground up to be all electric. This means there is no gas engine. In a technical sense, a Tesla still does have an engine, as an engine is any machine that converts power into motion, but generally, when referring to an all-electric vehicle, you would call it a motor.Mar 2, 2018

There's a battery holder under the driver's seat that holds 17,982 "AAA"s.

If you put one in the wrong way around, though, you are knackered and will have to fly in a Tesla technician from their secret lab in Area 51.

It is actually area 49 1/2 but no one is supposed to know that.
