It depends on your driving? Long distance trips? no way am I taking a EV... even the 30 minute recharge times would increase the damn trip by like a hour a day easily...

I am thinking of an EV for a third car to extend the life on my ICE cars that could be just hobby support vehicles and the EV for in town daily driver to work and for errand running. I do not have one yet as they are, as you state, still to expensive for that kind of 3rd car situation. 

My ideal two-car solution is a Lotus Elise and a Prius Prime. They also have the same (brand of) engine.

you talking about the Hanes Tshirt guy? with the moustache?

And golfing, don’t forget that.

I’d never recommend that anyone who didn’t have a reliable way to charge at home get an EV for now or the near term future.

I know right, he played baseball too, but I dont think he was a major star there either.

I’ve got LED stick lighting smothering the garage ceiling—I’m with you—a well-lit garage is nirvana.

Meanwhile, in the US, someone would probably be spouting out nonsense that the fire is a hoax and trying to badger people into staying put to “own the libs”.

I get the feeling that BEV vehicles are difficult to make profit on and they are exploiting features for maximum MSRP increase with minimal cost. 
The companies that do well are highly modular, minimal differences between offerings, offer subscription services, and demand high premiums for minimal add ons. It’s crazy…

Yeah. For all those people that are talking about how cool cars were in the 80s.. I present why most were not.

Because it has sold zero. The “sold” trucks are pre-production examples.

TGNA-K covers a lot of models, including the new Crown variants:

I have a 2009 Venza and I love it.

Yeah “not safe to be on the road” is usually neglect and deferred maintenance not the car breaking down due to age. I would save that 15 grand and have the daughter get a job to come up with another 6,000 and get her in a brand new car. 

I get it since, why risk your job for a celebrity over a company policy. They took the safe route with their blanket policy on age restriction.

First thought was “Prius”

I don’t remember much about the C I got in Economics, but supply and demand was something they talked about.

Agreed. I could see the company leasing used cars in 6 month chunks with the intent to do that like 6 times before selling it. So they'd break even or lose money on the first 2 leases, but make the money on the 3 through 6. The math's are hard though to pull that off.

Better than most of the real 737 MAX.
