Well I'm more concerned about the potential for whiplash injuries from all that sweet EV power. 220hp and an 8 second 0-60 shows that this thing means serious business.

But the opening sunroof is supposed to add range and speed up charging....

For me it's pretty simple. If "Jill" thinks a sunroof is important, I think a sunroof is important. Don't listen to these clowns

Actually interested in a real conversation, not silly bullying.

There seems to be this idea that in an EV its odd to want an opening roof, I don't get it.

Think of the reference to the moonroof as a MacGuffin, as it served no purpose other than the advancement of a little Tesla trolling.

And here I thought I was defending "Jill". Doxxing is publicly releasing full name and address, as well as email and phone numbers. Can't recall ever doing that

In case you haven’t noticed, nobody but you seems to care. Cyber bullying is silly when kids do it. When adults do it?

Actually I think nobody cares what you think, which is what makes you so clueless

Seek help. I don’t know what your real name is or what gender you are, nor do I care.
