no discount is going to balance out the current EV depreciation curve... If you want one of these, just wait till year 2 or 3. 

I would be interested in looking at the technicalities between the 2 soap dispensers. They do look different. And 1 has to operate in colder and low-pressure conditions that the other doesn’t.

Previous gen VW Tiguan. Basically a raised golf. Can tune it like an R, can come with AWD, and is pretty fun.

I’ve been driving my wife’s for a week, and she won’t let me have it permanently.

That only is until you increase electrical capacity and drive power costs down. Far easier to do that than hauling fuel all over the place. The difference is that oil traders can use stored reserves to play energy markets. You can’t really do that with electrons. You just need to increase capacity.

I’ll say it. America is literally not built for these vehicles. With our suburbanization pattern and interlaced DOT highways and local roads, there is virtually no where in the US where a 35 mph capped vehicle could operate safely. Anywhere that is, they just reserve it for golf carts which are regularly modded to get…

For some reason I got your comment notification 42 times.

I have a hard time believing this graphic, just as it is drawn. For something so critical, you probably should have drawn it to scale. Or am I to believe that hood length and verticality have nothing to do with vision difference?

That said, I think it would be more effective to add front facing cameras, like we do rear…

My use case is not that extreme. I’m the primary driver in my family, and my car is the primary road trip vehicle, since my wife doesn’t want to drive a “big car”, but needed for road trips.

F150 comes close at 704 miles, Camry at 686. Grand Highlander at 619.

I don’t think i’m advocating for 850 non-stop, i’m just questioning what a 500 mile EV does that a 250-350 doesn’t? OP was debating that people would whine about 500 mile range being “a bad thing.” But I can’t think of why it would be a “good…

don’t disagree, but what does 500 miles get you in that scenario that 250 or 300 didn’t?

I completely agree with your take, which is partly why i posted the above. If you can plan out your stops appropriately and chargers are available, the electric car road trip seems completely doable. So, to my point, i’m not sure how a 500 mile range, with potentially longer charging stops helps.

I guess to me, if…

I’ll bite, tell me how a 500 mile car is a “good thing”? Like what is the delta between a 350 mile car and a 500 mile car? I still can’t do the drive from my in-laws to my house in a day on the 500 mile car. That is 850 miles. (yes we stop, but is the goal fast charging while taking breaks? or being able to road trip…

all zoning is a constraint on your neighbor. 

why the HELL would you mention international terminal TSA? That is local only knowledge. Keep that shit to yourself.

I’m flying pretty regularly to jobs throughout the SE, and I’m easily from my car to the gate in 30 minutes thanks to the plane train. ATL is pretty easy, but I also grew up at DIA that has almost…

the issue you have is that every ev charging network makes its $ off of the software management and subscription costs of the stations. Not off the delivery.

how about a shop where you can pay them and the mechanic can help you learn how to wrench on your own?

pot calling the kettle black here.....

Yeah I hate it when republicans use that excuse too. 

Do you have the same attitude when it comes to housing? Because 90% of zoning law is the local government defining what housing is available. 

They shouldn’t be driving in either location.
