He can’t rid of them unilaterally, Congress has to repeal them. But they can repeal them retroactive to January 1, 2025. Given the tight margins in Congress, it’s not a sure thing. But it’s certainly a possibility one cannot rule out.

And this list also does a good job of illustrating the biggest challenge that EVs face for mass adoption… only one of these vehicles has a price tag that begins with a “3”.

On one hand, I appreciate you explaining this, because I genuinely didn’t know.

welcome to the bolt club.

How is it possible Land Rover didn’t make this list?  Did they break down on the way?

Lexus = Toyota and Honda = Acura.

Prius. It’s a better car than you think in every way

I saw the Cybertruck referred to as the IncEl Camino and that’s how I will forever think of it. 

The “hose it out” thing is actually an unsafe myth - they will rust like crazy and you will potentially damage all the wiring under the carpet if you hose it out. They are not designed for that at all, it is just a rumor that started back when they were new.

Honda Element was literally made to be a dog-friendly vehicle and fits this almost perfectly. The only thing it doesn’t do is hold a 4x8' sheet, but almost nothing will hold that except for an old Volvo wagon or a minivan. Element if that requirement has some wiggle room, minivan if it doesn’t.

This story broke due to the efforts of AL dot com reporter John Archibald. He not only dove deep into this piece, but has done outstanding follow-up reporting. Maybe link to his original work instead of the aggregated piece in The Guardian?

I want to believe that I was smarter than this when I was 18, but I might just not have had the opportunity to be this dumb.

Could be younger buyers. My eldest has been an authorized user on my cards (but never got to use them)for almost a decade. When he hit 18, his score was close to 750. A teenage boy is still a risky borrower, so I’d expect higher rates for him when he starts that mess.

There you go with reasonable facts and data to refute a story. Take your star. Still, this sure explains how so many people are driving around in $60k trucks. 

It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see where things go from here — just a passing look at what happened a decade ago.

One time, late on a Wednesday night after the track setup had been completed, I drove the Monaco Grand Prix circuit in a rental Citroen C1. Having a slow car (with a manual) meant I could pretty much go all-out without technically doing anything illegal, and this is without question the most fun I’ve ever had in a…

Reserved ‘Nissan Versa or similar’ from Enterprise at BWI. Agent said they were out of that class, but he had a Charger. I said, “Same money.” “Yup”. “V6?” “Yup.” “Hmmm, that’s nice, but a Charger needs some get up. Got a V8 Charger?” “Yup”. “Same money?” “Yup.” Rock on!

I was once charging something to a hotel room, and when the cashier (who was Indian) saw the very Indian name the room was under and I (who am rull white) explained it was my fiancee’s, she started quietly chanting “One of us! One of us!”
