Who else would need a cable I don't know.
Selling them on eBay maybe.

Brainwashed people conditioned to believe EVs are 10x worse than gas cars. Go to any YT video that is smack talking electric vehicles and you'll see this mindset. Crime of passion.

I feel naked without a recording device when I drive. I've said it before a sentry like mode should be mandated by law on all cars it would save so much fraud and prevent crime.

One great thing about Tesla is if you get in a crash they will send you all telemetry on request, all parameters that the vehicle records like speed, steering angle etc. and timing of airbag deployment. This goes beyond just having video you can use the data to help in injury claims for example.
Tesla has used this data to defend themselves many times against fraud for example unintended acceleration claims.

Need to watch that. I really like the ID.Buzz, and have it on the list as a Grandadmobile, but it's a terrible value relative to its basic EV capabilities like range, performance, tech and so on. The question is do other intangibles make up for the ostensibly poor value. They may very well, but with most dealers here are still pushing for ADM on these it makes the whole value judgment even more of a conundrum.

Styling
Can be configured with multiple colors and options
Roomier than most minivans
Drives and handles better than other traditional minivans like the Sienna, Odyssey, and Carnival
Excellent lifestyle vehicle
Cons:
Software implementation- more geared for the tech savvy
Range
slow charging
No heat pump in the US
Expensive even before dealership markups

My wife is away for the next week and a half. I see some test drive opportunities ahead of me.
None of the "cons" are really issues for us. We almost exclusively charge at home, get no benefit from a heat pump, would mostly drive this locally and I'm not a luddite.
