How true. It doesn’t matter how fast the state will let you drive if there is some jackass doing 50 in the passing lane.

Speed limits are fine in most cases. Whats sorely lacking is enforcement and education about passing lanes. Until that’s fixed it doesn’t matter how much you raise the limits, I’ll still be stuck flashing my high beams at some idiot doing 50 in the passing lane on I-95 who moved to that lane position immediately after…

55kW charging is an issue for road trips, but for most people with charging at home it’s not really an issue 350 days of the year. It will still make an excellent commuter car with very low running costs, that is pretty comfortable.

They tried this on me when I bought my first new car. The finance guy must have seen a young idiot and thought cha ching. I told him no I’ll take the lower rate without the warranty and he hemmed and hawed and I got up to leave before he said let me have a word with the manager blah blah blah crap. He came back and…

“Turns out, the finance company won’t approve you if you don’t buy the extended warranty.” Oh yea? The extended warranty company that isn’t affiliated with the finance company in any way but happens to give you a sweet commission for every policy you sell? It’s also illegal to try to force a customer to buy an…

“DARE MIGHTY THINGS” has much more impact on the wall of a NASA facility than it does in cut vinyl on the wall of my in-law’s living room.

This is not an either-or situation. I think the right solution is a 200mi BEV with a very clean ICE range extender. If you add something like this eFuel to power the range extender then there is very little environmental penalty to letting people have a vehicle that can be both 100% electric for daily commutes but…

Depends where you live. Here in Quebec, if you’re not in Montreal or Quebec City, you’re SOL. You can easily be a 8-10 hour drive away from them. And yes, before any one asks, Volts/Bolts do get sold in the boonies here as well. Electricity is dirt cheap everywhere in Quebec, gas... is not.

We bought a 2020 Bolt in September. On the highway at 65-70 it did 220 before the temperature dropped and we started having to use the heat. Mixed driving it was 270. Chevy was pretty conservative when stating their range.

I’m sorry, but you don’t entirely know what you are talking about. I’m an installer and I also have four years on the design and planning side of residential PV, so let me break it down a little.

For you are a puny 9-panel god... while I am a mighty 27-panel god. I bend the sun to my whims and desires.

Dare I say I prefer the looks of the Audi over the Porsche? This is the most German looking car I have seen in a long time. The whole thing looks like it was carved from a single block of aluminum.

They are issued to every child with male genitalia at birth as a signifier of manliness. You wouldn’t want to lose yours, or nobody would know how manly you are. Duh.

A Man Card is an imaginary thing that you forfeit when you do un-manly things like hire someone to fix something for you, be a vegetarian, read books that aren’t by Tom Clancy, care about the clothes you wear, and buy a minivan. IE, something assholes say to feel better about themselves. 

Yep, because I’m sure you look so cool in your Traverse.
