Hold to that opinion for long enough and the transmission will tell
you otherwise.

Like many pure electric vehicles, the Tesla Model S is missing a
whole lot of extraneous stuff including aÂ*transmission, gearsÂ*and
aÂ*clutch. This means there1s a plethoraÂ*of things that don1t needÂ*to
be maintained due to component wear or failure. But it also means
that the Model S has a much different driving characteristic thanÂ*any
other car with a transmission.

which has nothing to do with computers.

do try to stick to the topic. if you can.

Playing with words again? Or just displaying your ignorance?

not in the least.

Now why did you snip my reponse to you? Was it because it showed you
to be both ignorant and foolish? I say again:

because you ignored the above which shows you to be wrong *and* cars
have nothing to do with the topic.

once again, you're trying to argue and bringing up irrelevant crap.

you obviously *can't* stick to the topic.

So you were really trying to wriggle out of your statement that
"anything that requires the user to manually manage it is
fundamentally broken".

Neil responded with "It will be interesting to see how long your car
lasts without an oil change". to which you responded:

"that's not the same thing and you know it.

and for an electric vehicle, there is no oil to change."

I picked up on the second part of *your* reply and showed that you
were wrong. In fact there are plenty of fluids which require changing
in electric cars, including the fluids in the batteries. In fact you
did not know that and are now trying to wriggle out of discussing a
topic which *you* introduced.
