EV degradation curve is steep for the first year or two but then flattens out. In 2016 my model S could do 270 miles on a charge. I purchased it when it was 3.5 years old and had 50k miles on it; then it would charge to 250 miles. A degradation of 7.4%. Today my car has 135k miles on it. It charges to 242 miles, so…

No, it was more that Honda got flat-footed like all the other Japanese automakers with the rise of EVs. They were the only ones to pivot and basically acknowledge that they got caught unprepared and decided to partner with GM so they could put something out in a reasonable amount of time.

This looks like a dud... right down to the CCS charge port...  when it should have NACS.

I said it from the beginning, but dumb ass trolls who refuse to listen or think we're all about telling me "you're an idiot! Hydrogen fuel cell cars will dominate EVs and are the future". I told them good luck with that idea, since it will be prohibitively expensive to install any kind of widespread refueling…

Yes, at today’s pump prices the $15k in free hydrogen will last new owners about 24,000 miles before it runs out. After that it’s about $190 per fill up from empty at today’s insane prices

Nobody wants these because they’re an insanely terrible deal. Even if hydrogen refueling stations were everywhere, which they very much are NOT.

Hydrogen costs $32/kg at the pump here in California last time I checked.
1 kg of hydrogen is the energy equivalent of 1 gallon of regular gasoline, about $4.64 average in…

For a long time now, I was sure that Toyota had some secret tech that they were going to release that would make fuel cell vehicles practical enough for widespread use. Something like on-the-fly ammonia reformation that would enable liquid fueling that produced hydrogen as needed. But, nothing.

you’re not comparing apples to apples. the Blazer EV prices are MSRP and don’t include the $7500 federal tax credit but do qualify for it. it’s $48k for the Model Y and $56.7k for the equivalent Blazer.

it’s also silly to use the base model y as any point of comparison here. GM is going to make a 2LT FWD variant that…

I love my 2024 Cadillac Lyriq so far. Much better purchase than the Model Y and a better vehicle in almost every measurable way. The only negative on the Lyriq is that its drag coefficient is 0.25 instead of the Y’s 0.23. This requires a bigger battery in the Lyriq to be 102 kWh instead of the Y’s 78 kWh (long range…

Talk to an employee of Tesla if you want to know how Mr. Elon Musk’s White Nationalism is killing off new car sales, except from Tesla Fanboys...

Except for Tesla’s: crap assembly, safety issues that require anti-disclosure agreements , high price & delays for service & collision repair, and Mr. Elon Musk’s White Nationalism. Given that he is encouraging Hate he should be Deported back to South Africa...

that’s not exactly it. Tesla obfuscates the pricing on their website. The price displayed includes the $7500 tax credit and a $3600 “gas savings”. AWD model y’s are either $48k for the long range or $52.5 for the performance.

Vehicles shouldn’t be able to move without:
1. alcohol monitoring tech
2. Seatbelts secured for each occupied seat

I’m not taking questions, thanks.

Maybe if somebody has such bad PTSD that they think acorns are gunshots and empty their firearm at the sound of an acorn, they shouldn’t be allowed access to firearms?

Or the wife could get a job instead of, I dunno, calling into a radio/podcast show and painting her bread-winning hubby as a chump.

Second, she says he purchased the EV6 for $72,000. EV6 pricing doesn’t reach that high, which also tells us that the dealer screwed him on the purchase and likely marked it up, especially given the timeframe that he purchased it in.

If you’re calling into a radio show for financial advice, you’re already lost.

Counterpoint: it looks awful. But hyundai isn’t paying my bills so I can say that I guess. Forcing Telluride design details on a van to make it look more like an SUV is awful.

Why does everything have to look like a truck and have high hood lines so you can’t see little kids in front of you? And this minivan doesn’t have stow-and-go, which makes minivans much more useful. It’s not just dropping the seats into the floor, but those cavities under the floor can be used as great storage areas.…

I believe they can design, engineer, and build it, but the question for Ford is whether or not they can build enough of them to meet consumer demand in a timely manner while having a remote semblance of quality control.
