Speaking as a VW guy, VW guys don’t actually have 10k.

Enjoy fleeting perfection:

If Seb leaves F1 someone will take his seat and no one will care about what he says. He has bigger impact being in F1.

Ummmm does he know what he does for a living, and how much ‘the circus’ contributes to climate change? I mean he makes his living in an industry that ships hundreds of thousands of pounds of equipment around the world multiple times each year. Dollar for dollar he’s probably doing more to hurt the climate than almost

Bit if an aside, but have you noticed that the people complaining about gas prices and promoting more oil production NEVER talk about reducing their own consumption?

I’ve definitely thought about this a lot. Part of my resistance is just how expensive used EVs are around here- even with reduced (and shrinking) range.

Couldn’t you just buy a used EV?

Solar panels are not as far up there if you put them in the basement.

I will say it is easy to say EVs are the way forward when all the mining and destruction is done in another country.

‘carbon free electricity generation’ is a bit fact contingent, however. While I understand that EVs are still more efficient, and less harmful, than ICE cars even where electricity is generated in a less than clean way - it still significantly hits their benefit.

“I’ll call George Washington antifa if it’ll get my dad to finally notice me!” — these clowns (probably)

I like how they call anyone who just doesn’t want them clogging up the roads in their town “Antifa,” as if being opposed to traffic jams is some sort of radical left conspiracy.

Welcome, good luck righting the ship

-Small cheap cars are better than big expensive ones.

Hmmm...I bet I could find a TDI-swapped XJ somewhere. Ooh, or an XJ with a big honkin’ Detroit up front.

Great introduction.

I’m more curious about efficiency. Like E-85, if it causes you to use more gas to go the same distance, even if it’s emitting fewer of certain particles, is it really helping?

ok, so about a 5.5% power loss leaving the dealer lot. How about 3 years down the road as that filter picks up more and more particulates?
