Cyber truck is gay. Lightning is cool but has power to range issues. Rivian has a solid product but it’s pricey.

my work ordered a lightning but it’s like a year out. Will be cool to try out when we get it.

There's a lot to be said about the moral cesspool that is Elon Musk and his empire, but honestly people shouldn't be buying Teslas because they're ugly anyway. They are easily the most horrible looking cars on the planet. Shiny plastic on wheels.
Exterior design is definitely the dumbest thing to complain about on a Tesla because at least they don't have the whole matchbox car 1000 fake styling elements 'we're ashamed to be an EV and larp as V12 biturbo monster'-starterpack

The fake design elements are stupid, I agree. But I don't really get why an EV needs to look futuristic either. The Model S for example just looks good. Model X and Y look like spaceships. Why can't they still look like cars?

This Audi has much more presence, while being over styled, but Tesla is just a generic looking EV (look at all Chinese copycats) and it is made to look like this mainly because it is easier to manufacture (and aerodynamics).
If everyone applies the same principles in the future we will hardly be able to distinguish between different brands. People now complain constantly about all cars looking the same and Teslas are among the blandest designs possible.

Though if it were all aerodynamics, cars would look backwards. You want a long tail and a short hood.

Yes, but if cars look like teardrops hardly will anyone be excited and also I think the current shape is better from safety point of view. Mercedes EQXX looks as much as possible close to a teardrop for a modern car and it is not the best looking thing, if I am being honest.

Are AP classes racist and/or unfair? Why or why not?

It’s unfortunate his family is so tied to U of R.

To be fair, TC Williams high school (Remember the Titans) also changed their name but for a different and a different TC Williams.

Let’s be honest here. Ohio is a shithole. Easily the worst state.

This is a little ridiculous, honestly. They're also making their students less competitive for more prestigious out of state schools. Culver City is mostly white and Asian, too.
