Old makes way for the new in Dedham

... to see how tesla dealership sausage is made.

Given the halo around Tesla and Musk I was expecting to see a gleaming dealership rise up out of a puddle of nanobots busy eating/recycling all that was left over from the darwinian loser dealership previously in it's place.

I wonder if this service center will replace the one presently in Watertown... I've heard whispers that developers are swarming around that property...

A typical Lincoln vehicle will get you approximately 300 to 435 miles on a tank of gas. And when you have to fill up again, you can do so almost anywhere and in a matter of minutes.

A typical Tesla vehicle will get you a maximum range of approximately 265 miles. And when you have to recharge, you have to not only find a charging station, but one specific to Teslas (ahh the wonderful thing about standards). And a full charge will take you up to four hours about forty minutes (Tesla's estimate).

Plus, a typical Tesla is considerably more expensive than a typical Lincoln. Not to mention that, when the Tesla's batteries go flat in eight or ten years, it will cost you more to replace them than putting an entirely new engine in a Lincoln, which is far less likely to happen at eight to ten years, would.

Now, what was somebody saying about the Lincoln dealership being a darwinian loser?

For the record, my present vehicle is a 2012 Ford Focus that uses gasoline. Yes, it's not nearly as big as the average Lincoln road behemoth, but I'm perfectly happy with my current mpg averages (24.5 mpg city, 40.6 highway) which give me a range of 308 to 510 miles on a single tank of gas..
