There are some hot takes in these comments that are so bad y’all should get a job writing for Jalopnik. :-P

Bad take.
No, you specifically said “Overpriced and unperformed in pretty much <u>every performance aspect</u> in 2022". Then you turned around and cherry picked “other aspect” as a basis for your opinion. That’s no big deal. But the fact that you got snide about being called out on it, with a characteristic that is often regrad…
that’s all Model Y which is pretty new, and lesser extent Model 3 which I guess is just 4 or 5 years old.
These look the exact same to me, and they’re a decade apart. Fascia and trim upgrades aren’t major styling changes, not to mention the face lift made it look like a 15 year old Genesis. The S is the same now as it was ten years ago, and looks every bit of ugly now as it did in 2012. And people pay $90K+ for these…
Thank you! I am so sick of hearing how such and such new EV won’t beat a base Model 3 in a quarter mile. It. Doesn’t. Matter. I live in San Jose and see Teslas as much as I see Honda Accords, and they both go the same speed.
I do agree that these being so big are not good and neigher are their ICE versions that are the same size. but getting people out of full size trucks into full size EV trucks is a win. youll never convince them to get a smaller car because their pride is why they buy the big one a lot of the time
It’s really good. There’s still the environmental costs across the lifecycle to consider, which have GOT to be higher here, but your point is really solid. Anything that helps “give people permission” to go electric for the first time is a win. I was never interested in EVs until I saw the Porsche Taycan/Audi e-tron…
What people get confused about is the kind of emissions. Battery creation emissions are not climate warming carbon emissions. they are things like toxins and waste that have to be handled correctly but not CO2 release. Also the maverick has these same batteries as well but a smaller number. When it comes to climate…
I was curious to put real numbers to it myself because id heard this explained before but never with US electric grid numbers
I get where you’re coming from but I think you miss the point of the Hummer EV. It’s about getting customers to transition from driving massive, gas-powered land-yachts to massive, electric-powered land-yachts. If even a small percentage of the pickup truck and Suburban crowd adopted an equivalent EV, then that would…
No way are the ID’s the *worst*... especially for the price. $39k minus tax credit for 280 miles of range AND a good charge rate (unlike Bolt).
did some calculations. the Hummer gets 47mpge combined but gets 53mpge city. 47mpge is 1.4 miles per kwh. one kwh from the US grid emits 0.85lb CO2. so the Hummer EV emits (if using the US grid average) 0.6lb CO2 per mile. A 15mpg truck emits 1.4lbs of CO2 per mile.
A honda accord emits 280g of C02 per mile (or 0.6lbs)…
Its vastly vastly better for the environment and climate change than any gas powered truck on the market at any size. It will replace the largest least efficient trucks out there and have more positive environmental impact than people trading in their accords for EVs.
That reminds me of a slightly jacked up truck I saw yesterday. It actually had the words “Small penis, Big dreams” on the back window. At least he was aware of the situation.
Getting people excited about EVs for irrational reasons is exactly how we get more EV adoption. People don’t buy cars for rational reasons, we buy them for emotional reasons. Thats what Musk figured out and why he was the first person to market EVs successfully. Thats why Nissan and GM failed at this task with the…
The MERCEDES MAYBACH G650 in gold chrome. Why would you want to do this to your child?
Mitsubishi iMiEV, 100 miles of range, 66 hp, all while looking like what your dad thinks electric cars look like (image source, Wikipedia).
