What conditions vary the Civic’s performance?

What “winter” temperature was he basing his data on?

How big was the battery in the Tesla?

So many fact gaps there, for a fact checker.

I compared a fully fueled 2025 Honda Civic to a fully charged Tesla 3.

There are four engine options for a 2025 Civic.

The Model 3 has three battery size options, I see.

And looking at this closer, there are 47 and 40 litre tanks in Civics, depending on the engine.

99% of Canadians will never need to worry about being in their car stranded and in the cold for 20+ hours.

I was going to say, do a lot of people get stranded for more than a day at the side of a road? I have never seen it or heard of it.

[Mike K.]

Well, he did say camping.

And hundreds of thousands of Canadians are stuck on closed highways in winter. You’ll want your heat on for some of that time.

I never found Volvos to be particularly luxurious, solid yes but not luxurious.

That’s all you need to cross from West Shore to downtown across the water. Cutting nearly an hour off your total daily commute. You can just land in any downtown parking lot, or the top of any parade.

The best part is that you can leave the top floor of the parkade by air, at the end of the day. Free parking.

It's a prototype..... Cool prototype. But a prototype.

For your first trip. Then, after the battery becomes slightly less efficient you don't quite make it home. 

also, you think they will allow us plebes to travel by air like that? I doubt it. 

[Mike K.]

Due to the wind created by VTOL aircraft, these will be banned everywhere just on that factor alone.

I wanted to follow up on our last message as we get closer to opening orders and move toward first deliveries in starting late this year.

A few things to keep in mind:

- Reservation holders will be first in line when orders open this year
- Your reservation keeps your options open while you explore configurations and accessories ahead of ordering
- The $50 reservation remains fully refundable until you place an order

If there is a chance you will want a Slate, reserving now is the best way to hold your place in line for ordering and delivery:

What questions do you have before moving forward with your reservation?
