Sad to say, but the owner probably got the best possible outcome there —- insurance pays her to replace a vehicle that has terrifying depreciation. It’s the only way she’d ever get close to her money back. 

That’s definitely one of the reasons, but the other reason is probably that their cars are now 6+ years old and fucking old now interior or exterior wise.

After failing to offload his old pickup truck online...

I sold my last car with a for sale sign in the window with the car at a Cars and Coffee meet.

Plenty of people, stop being a dick and look outside once in a while.

Why wouldn’t you?  Takes like a minute to make (or $1 to buy and fill out) and would increase your chances of selling.  Last vehicle I sold, I used both online ads and a physical for sale sign.

See “Retired school teacher”. “Internet” is where his bass and crappie go.

Why do you see what?

I think it is a matter of time before gasoline refilling will see outdated. How do I know if the pump works, how do I know if the gas is fresh, and how do I know if it will take my discount card?

And while it’s a relatively simple idea considering how connected modern electric vehicles are, it’s also one of those things that’s so obvious, it’s hard to understand why it isn’t already commonplace across the entire industry.

I live not far from this particular Supercharger station, and this does not surprise me at all.

I’ve been hearing and am now in agreement. We did not EV tax Credits. We needed EV Infrastructure. Standardizing to the NACS plug for Level 1, Level 2, and DC Rapid Charging is the first step. But 80% charge at home. 20% do not. And 60% in total use Rapid Charging at least weekly.

Until you have more DC Rapid Chargers,…

Should we combine Karen and Elon to make a special name for these people? I’m sure there will be more run-ins like this in the future. How about Ellens?

Range Energy is doing exactly that with Class 8 trailers. They have a battery pack, an electrically-driven axle and is controlled by the inputs from the trailer’s kingpin.

It would make sense but there is a lot of work to overcome the technical hurdles of connecting an additional battery resource cleanly to the existing EV supply.

It’s called knowing your customers.

That’s not fair, the Weiner Mobile might be the coolest vehicle ever made.

Even a Weinermobile would be cooler than what’s on there now.

My car gets about 20% less range with a small utility trailer so I am not surprised at the reduction but odd that the bigger one loses more- my wild ass guess would be aerodynamics 

Interesting that we’ve seen videos of tug-o-wars with Rivians, F150s Lightnings and Hummer EVs without this issue occurring.
