That's PROBABLY a lot steeper than it looks.
That being said, those squeaky brakes suggest the things I've heard about poor quality construction are right.

I did more in my Civic. Granted, it was a manual, but it was still only 108 HP front-wheel drive.

I might consider a used tesla, but I have need of a real truck, when I need a truck. I'd have to win a cybertruck on Price is Right or something.

First of all, how embarrassing to be caught on camera vandalizing a vehicle while wearing that outfit.

Nah. I traveled this last week and saw a couple of youngins with masks on in the airport. No crime. Situation matters.
Yoots walking into a store with masks? Crime.

Tesla Wants Its American Cars to Be Built Without Any Chinese Parts
Man, that's great! Everyone should be doing this!
Tesla has been trying to reduce its dependence on China-made components for its U.S. cars ever since the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted the flow of goods from China, and encouraging its China-based suppliers to make components elsewhere including in Mexico. But this year, after President Trump imposed stiff tariffs on Chinese imports, the company accelerated the strategy to cut out Chinese parts, the people said.
