For me, that’s a Volvo XC60.  

This! is true.   My Mazda 6 seats reflect this truth.  

see, it’d be great to see a list of such cars people have found to be comfortable.

Like all things EV, I’m sure it’s not as bad as some have made it out to be. I’m not an EV hater, so I’m not making an argument to dismiss them. Every argument about range has to be tempered with the fact that if you have an in house charger, you start every morning with a “full tank”, which is better than you can say…

I got a good one on sale. It’s hard to answer that question. It’s like insurance: completely worthless until it’s absolutely priceless. And in a certain sense, I hope I never need it.
Beyond that, it also feels a bit voyeuristic--I have the front and back cams enabled, but not the inside cam for that reason. 

I sorta think that calling sports cars uncomfortable is cheating. Yeah, I’m going to assume that they are uncomfortable to the point that Jalopnik should make a list of “surprisingly good daily driver sports cars”.
My take: I’ll put up with some uncomfortable aspects for a fun ride but I won’t put up with bad…

A car without heat may describe EVs...  I mean, they have heat, but severe winter conditions and cranking up the heat kills range like anything.  I am hoping these heat pump systems for cars work well and are efficient. 

My personal experience has been that since the pandemic, drivers have gotten faster and more aggressive in general. LE has only started to try to catch up but just a tiny amount. I never cared if someone went 5-7 mph faster than posted speed limits, but I’m routinely seeing people going 15 -25 mph over the speed…

TBH, I would have just quit. I hope there was something about this job that made it worth keeping, because it sure doesn’t seem like it.

Roads scale poorly. One train could keep upwards of 500 cars off the roads and deliver you there are 2.5 times the speed. If you don’t build the train then you haven’t solved the traffic issue. The train is still a considerably greener solution in the long run when you factor all of that in. Certainly costs need to be…

except for the small little detail that it was approved by the majority of voters and still maintains majority support. It’s the special interests that are holding it up ...and the greedy.   Sort of a hard YEAH!

tax everyone, like all other taxes, you know, like the, ahem, gas tax.

This is the kind of thing where climate change considerations need to take precedence and it should be, um, railroaded through. Impose those carbon taxes on those ICE cars and aircraft.

I was impressed in Korea when they in just a few years extended a rail line by 30 some odd miles—through valleys and mountains (i.e.…

I suspect you just paid the price of an early adopter.  By law, EV batteries must be warrantied 8 years against losing more than 20% of their charge.  Generally speaking, people who have driven EVs longer than that or have put on a ton of mileage, have seen batteries last a lot longer.  I think you have little to…

It’s not an either/or question. I think my next “car” may be an EV. There are plenty of 300+ mile range models that seem to be out there that are on the edge of affordability, and that’s what I want. 

The issue for me is: fast charging and ubiquity of chargers.

I.... am a stubborn asshole. And I won’t buy something if it doesn’t work out in the percentages I need it to for my income. IMO, more people need to be like me, then the car companies will mysteriously quit jacking up their car prices. I’ve been out of the car market for quite awhile now because of this madness.

That…

given current geopolitics--that’s quite possible.   Also, given the effects of climate change, it kind of should be at some point.

yeah, I think people aren’t considering that... you start every day with a “full tank” so to speak. I do a lot of long distance driving so charging for me in that respect is an issue, but I think even for me at this point it’s not an offsetting one given both fast charging and especially with the charging build out…

Um. Yeah.   I guess I can’t fault someone for not understanding new tech.   But hating on it is another thing.   At least have a legit criticism.  Or if you learn your criticism is wrong, let it go.   EVs have their drawbacks, but far fewer than the average non-EV users seems to understand.  I’ve already decided I’ll…

It’s okay to hate Elon, he deserves it. But EVs... I think the day will come when it will be much harder/more expensive to find gas than it will be to charge your car.    In theory if you have a good charger at home, that’s the case most of the time anyway.
