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

Why because I keep catching you trying to bullshit you way through this thread.

Has a higher rated Mazda 3 ever driven itself into a semi tractor and trailer killing the driver because it's too stupid to see a white truck against a white background?

Yesterday you posted a link that said cars have engines that are designed to go about 200,000 miles.

Then you asked me where I got that stat.

So do you think I really care what you have to say about cars?

You don't even read your own links - and you clearly have no interest or experience with cars

Average of 200,000. And for us above average vehicle owners who do regular oil changes and air filters there is no upper limit.

Still think TBONES met Aldrin in New Jersey or did you read it again?

Your link

In your hysteria to try and compare a tesla to a tractor trailer (?) you failed to notice that you were inadvertently proving my point.

No gasser is going to go a million miles anymore

But I know you can;t admit that because in your tiny white natty brain that means you are admitting climate change is a real thing.

**** knows why

AVERAGE

Did you ignore that word on purpose?

Average includes morons who do zero maintenance.

Do you use synthetic oil in your minivan or a high end air filter that can stop a 1-5 micron grain of dust from entering an engine?

How many 16 year old girls are changing oil and air filters on a regular basis?


And yes climate change is real. It never was static. EVER!
