Well, I understood him just fine. Are you a native English speaker? You seem to write well enough.

Well, the Times has a vested interest in selling papers and Tesla has a vested interest in selling cars, so I'm not sure we'll ever hear the real truth. It sounds like terrible marketing on Tesla's part and a bit of a flourish by the Times writer.

That should have been your clue that you were mus-interpreting it.

That is certainly true... if you are driving something built 30 or 40 years ago!

You've been watching too many movies. Gasoline is more "flammable" than "explosive". The simple innovation of shutting off the fuel pump in an impact prevents most fires.

Usually because they are bad at math or love the environment, but yes - they do seem pretty loyal.

Two miles in Manhattan can take hours, especially if there is a bridge or tunnel involved. I've never lived anywhere so small that felt so big. :)

I don't know where you are from, but in the US you almost never get pulled over if you stay below 10-over-the-limit.

Goodness, that's pedantic. He means "if you AVERAGE up EVERYONE's speed, it will be about 5 over". It's not the most well-constructed sentence, but most native speakers should be able to figure out what he was saying.

Since I'm not rich enough to afford one of these, yet I still have two cars, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I wouldn't expect people to use their electric luxury car for long trips. Hell, we take our less-efficient car (minivan) on trips because it is more comfortable. It seems to me that the Times was looking for a way to fail the car to make their story better. Most of us would probably commute in this thing.

And, while that has happened to me, at least the gas station was only 3 blocks away and the generous thieves left enough for me to get there.

That's because they show that the reporter made a stop to drop of guns in Sandy Hook.

Yes, to this day it Plays For Sure!

In my case, I had a gift card, and the Kindle was what they had at Best Buy.

It's not irrelevant at all. Ron Paul seems to be a big fan of free markets - this is not a free market. He never told people that they shouldn't work with regulators where they exist - just that there should be fewer regulators.
