Top Gear ran a drag race between the new electric Jaguar and a Tesla and the Jaguar won. The Muskovites have arrived in the comments section to the video explaining how the video is clearly faked and if it isn't it doesn't matter and that Jaguar made bad cars in the 70s and that every single problem with the Tesla is a feature you are too dumb to understand. It's fun!

https://la.curbed.com/2018/8/16/17704428/elon-musk-dodger-stadium-tunnel-better-ideas
there is a gondala idea that is kind of wacky but approximately 10000x better than this tunnel thing.
i mean it's even worse than the 3 mile, one way, street car loop that will not have priority over road traffic at intersections and will thus go at approximately walking pace that they want to put downtown
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 29 August 2018 18:00 (five years ago) link
the gondala goes from downtown, and there is perhaps a more acute need to improve connections to the stadium from pretty much exactly the locations this tunnel would serve (among others). so a red line connection sounds good to me in principle! and you can argue that there is value in a proof of concept, and i don't think anyone is seriously suggesting the tunnel would ever make money.
but the city does not need to get involved. and it certainly shouldn't be providing financial support.

https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2018/08/teslas-affordable-model-3-costs-a-bundle-to-insure-study-claims/
Last year, AAA said premiums on Tesla vehicles would likely go up 30 percent after reviewing data from the Highway Loss Data Institute. At the time, Tesla said the analysis was “severely flawed and is not reflective of reality.” But the auto club stated the HLDI’s findings matched its own research, as well as numerous other sources.“Looking at a much broader set of countrywide data, we saw the same patterns observed in our own data, and that gave us the confidence to change rates,” said Anthony Ptasznik, chief actuary of AAA.The contributing factors to the brand’s above-average insurance rate are twofold. For whatever reason, Tesla models are subject to an abnormally high number of incidents that result in insurance claims, but they’re also more expensive to fix. “Teslas get into a lot of crashes and are costly to repair afterward,” explained Russ Rader, spokesman for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which operates as the HLDI’s parent organization. “Consumers will pay for that when they go to insure one.”For the Model 3, the result is tragically high premiums. A recent study conducted by Gabi Personal Insurance Agency Inc. and posted by Automotive News shows the EV’s average insurance cost across 150 ZIP codes is $2,814 per year. That’s $35 less than the cost of insuring a Porsche 911, using the same metrics.“In the last month we had more and more people coming in with Model 3, and they were all complaining about high insurance costs,” said Gabi CEO Hanno Fichtner. “We found cheaper deals for them, but not as cheap as we thought they would be. We even had customers tell us they are returning their Model 3 due to the high running costs.”

When are you getting your Tesla?
I am scheduled to pick it up on September 12th, 2 years and 5 months after putting $1,000 and two months after putting $2500 more down.
Are you excited?
Yes, very much so
Can I have ride?
Sure we can work that out.
Can I drive it?
Unlikely.
Am I afraid it is going to catch on fire?
Internal combustion engine cars are filled with flammable liquid, so no I am much less concerned it going to catch on fire then my Impala.
it goes on and on and on
