    If enough of us say it is then you can be sure that the rest will believe it.

    OK...just to widen your view, there are a few reasons why a person would ask such a question. It might have something to do with investing / career move / future vehicle choices / other reasons.

    These don't have to be mutually exclusive. It is possible to push an enormously flawed agenda/industry and simultaneously attack a person associated with that industry, especially when he's now "that twitter guy" instead of "that Tesla guy" with regards to his public persona (also not accidental).

    You are correct, as you know what they say about "assume", but this being a Tundra site, How many threads have you seen pertaining to poor fuel economy ? This is whyI more often than not I avoid these threads, but every now and then I get sucked in....No more I say!!!!

    I'm not sure I understand

    If you have a specific challenge to one of the factual statements I made, let's hear it. If you just want to do childish things then that is your prerogative.

    Good to see the players in the EV charging space that are adapting NACS...need to research which stock to trade.

    Gov just made rules that they won't allow subsidies for chargers that don't include CCS. This was after the GM and Ford decision to adopt NACS.

    As I mentioned earlier, gov is not friendly to Tesla, despite their desire to push us all toward EV. Unsure how these rules will impact Ford and GM's decisions, but it does suck to see gov using it's (our) money to direct the market where it's not necessary to do so.

    That meme was in reference to me. I have a bad habit of pushing buttons . Your post made me think of it. No offense to you implied or intended.

    It is a joke. To inject humor. To lighten the mood. A little self deprecation.

    I find that if I assume everybody is arguing with me or making a personal attack, then I am aways argumentative and defensive. If I take myself so seriously that i can’t take a joke, then life must be pretty dour. That type of behavior makes it so nobody wants to play in the sandbox with me; it also makes it less likely that they will warn me about that giant cat turd in the sandbox that I’m currently lording over by myself…

    For example, what do you think when somebody pronounced Toole “TOOLEE”? Are they trying to argue with you? Are they just uneducated swine - the incredulous number of which is so abysmal that it causes you to stew over their idiocricy and mope around the rest of the day dwelling on the miserable lot you were dwelt to spend your life surrounded by the bottomless pit of dog fart sniffing, tofurkey loving, granola munching ignorarmical girly-men.

    Or do you just laugh and say ‘Ha ha, its actually TooIllUhh. But everyone says it that way’ and move on with your life, having had a small chuckle.

    No, that wasn’t a personal attack on where you are from - just what is hopefully a personally relevant example that you would understand easily and laugh at.

    I can understand people's confusion/misinterpretation/frustration because it's difficult to figure if a post is a joke/sarcasm. No facial expression and tone of voice in textual communication.

    My contribution to this thread for today is this:

    One thing I know for sure is that gas is still cheaper than bourbon, even the shittiest of bourbons; unless the bourbon is so shitty that it was gifted to you; at that point gas would be more expensive than bourbon, because no one is going to gift you gas :thumbsup:....
    Hey, today is National Bourbon Day:cheers:

    So, cheers everyone and head on over to the Favorite Bourbon Whiskey thread and share your celebratory experiences today w/America's favorite libation :D

    Edit: Quick link to that thread for any of you that may have already started and are struggling w/your navigation skills Favorite bourbon/ whiskey...
