This is false. They aren't really that much heavier, 1k lb or so. It's not the weight that tears up tires it's the instant and 100% torque when you hit the accelerator. If you go easy on the launches your tires will last longer.

I sent it from my tmo number to my GV number. I can do the inverse as a test too but I don't think anything will change.

GV is a voip carrier.

Everyone should have a main account with a local credit union and then secondary accounts with whatever "fintech" banks you want. I keep multiple accounts and everything flows through a local account first and then gets moved elsewhere. Currently I'm using revolut as my secondary to help budgeting.

Luxury isn't about price point. And last I checked, you couldn't get a new tesla for 40k.

Saying that tesla is luxury is like saying that McDonald's is fine dining.

Do yourself a favor and look up the comparable pricing for the ioniqs versus tesla. Tesla has always been overpriced (from factory) for what it offered.

One thing.

Tesla has never been known for luxury at all. I'd bet my ioniq phev was more luxurious and my 5 most definitely is.

They used to have a decently priced unlimited ticket that you could use to see the country during summer break. Get on/off the train whenever/wherever you want.
