100% with you on this.  I completely understand the appeal of an e-bike for folks that don’t have the luxury of shower facilities at the work end of their commutes.  I’ve met folks over the years that had to find very creative ways around this.  One guy found an industrial strength fan that he’d stand in front of…

A few years back, I undertook a nearly 20-mile each way bike commute during a 6-month contract. It was a phenomenal way to stay in shape without having to think about it. Big ups to that client for having full shower facilities on-site.

First ebike I saw up close was rIdentical by a guy in a class I was taking. He rode it almost 20 miles, one way, to class. Said he would never had made it without the boost. As we strapped the thing on my car one day and gave him a ride home in a nasty storm, he had some major hillage on his route I could never have…

Take the friends having babies out of the equation. You will find they will start hanging out with other couples with kids. They have no single friends other than the ones they are trying to fix you up with.

Ok, let’s crunch some numbers here.

OK, I want the shit out of this. Six grand for an electric all-terrain motorcycle that can do 60mph and travel 100 miles? Sign me right the fuck up. I never even knew I wanted something like this but I’m already saving money for it. Something like this would be incredible for trips into the backcountry, where you want…

My SO pretty much hates all pickup trucks. We’ve been watching the long way up and she’s like “Those pickup trucks don’t look mean! I don’t mind them if they look like bulbasaur!”

I have a small business with only two vehicles, one diesel and one gasoline doing about 35,000 miles a year for both. Combining fuel and maintenance costs going electric would save me about $4,500 annually for both vehicles so it’s certainly an attractive proposition even though it would probably take a few years to…

Up until ww2 electric delivery vans were kind of a thing especially for milk. Really a perfect use case. 

Umm, if there’s no engine under the hood, why not put the range extender engine under, you know, the hood? Surely the electric motor doesn’t take up all that much space under there?  They made it work with the much smaller Chevy Volt.

This would be a series hybrid, not mechanical connection to the drivetrain.

Time for Ford to rekindle the bromance with Mazda and cram a rotary back there. It’s the perfect application for a rotary. You want something small, rotaries are very small. Rotaries are way inefficient outside of a small RPM window, but as a range extender it would always be in the sweet spot.

It’s also telling that accidents are typically very experienced (ab)users not someone on day one plowing into an object.

The Model 3 was the first Tesla to come with an interior camera.

I’m no Tesla fanboy, but JESUS EFFING CHRIST, this “Autopilot isn’t really autopilot hur-dur” shit is exhausting, isn’t it?

I really, truly, believe that everyone that’s continually complaining about ‘Autopilot’ being a deceptive name that misleads people is grossly misjudging the people that buy these cars.

Waiting to find out a high-dollar car sale was used for money laundering.

The prices don’t seem that great. I can find them locally on CL for the same or less with about the same miles. 

I think this is pretty great. So much opportunity here. Power your camp with the battery. Deep water? No problem - and no snorkel necessary - just put it in EV drive. Need ultra low crawl speed? - EV is good at that. Need instant throttle response in mud? Yep - got you covered. Offroading needs to embrace…

I’d hate to take a road trip with you, since you don’t plan to stop to piss at any point in 8 hours. If you charge whenever you stop, you don’t arrive with an empty battery.

I drove a Model 3 from Syracuse NY to Badlands SD, and by charging whenever we stopped to use the bathroom or eat it only took us 20 minutes or…
