In high school I drove a 1972 Toyota Land Cruiser. All three beautiful gears of it and barely double digit miles per gallon.

Apparently not. A price drop might move a couple more, but until Elon isn’t involved, the universe of USA EV shoppers will continue to look at other brands.

My favorite military story from Oz: The Great Emu War

The article seems to say she is just another American that has embraced the alternative facts narrative.

• Brakes last 2-5 times longer than ICE vehicles, depending on regen use.

I’m just excited that my first generation Nissan Leaf missed the list.

There is a certain type of customer for a product like this and I think they should have no problem hitting the 35K. I wouldn’t touch it, but I understand someone longing for a well cared for unique automobile.

This is an interesting scientific take from Neil deGrasse Tyson. If you do not have time to watch, the core issue is the tires and that sub 1 second seems like it would be impossible today, unless the tires were not actually moving the vehicle. (Rocket)

Now imagine they made the Toyota Prius Prime SE as a BEV instead with just ~50 miles of range. Without the weight of the motor and petrol tank, it would be the greenest vehicle on the road!

Yeah, I mean - why even have laws because there will always be people that break them. Amirite?

I ignore railroad tracks and can just drive right over the circle in the middle to get where I am going, so I’m good.

I’m not certain you were paying attention to the part where two Max planes crashed carrying hundreds of people directly due to Boeing negligence. Had that not happened, the door plug story would already have been forgotten.

That’s the point of the “nanny”. You wouldn’t be able to break the law by more than 10 MPH.

10K for a cute niche Honda that is in good shape and you might never see on the road again gets a thumbs up from me. I wouldn’t buy it, but I judge this based on whether the market will — and it will.

Going to have to disagree with you. The main problem with everyone but Tesla is that they subcontract fixing the stations and, as a result, when they are down they stay down for a ridiculous period of time. It is getting “better”, but nowhere near good enough. They could have followed Tesla’s lead but this is one huge…

The cost to repair is irrelevant if people are not getting into crashes. The true issue: The total number of auto claims have been dramatically increasing since the start of COVID.

Slideshow Summary:
Don’t buy a Kia, Nissan, or VW if you want to be happy with your vehicle.

Do they, though? Maybe you are right but I haven’t seen any data to back up that claim - only very loud complaints about how awful they are.

We seem to be hovering around half of the media talking about surging demand for EVs in America and the other half talking about how the EV bubble has burst. We really need an article about how these vehicles have made the media suffer schizophrenic episodes.
