95% of my driving is from home to work or near my house. I’m hoping that the next car I buy can be an EV and I can tell you that I really don’t care about hundreds of miles of range for my commuter vehicle. I don’t care about charging infrastructure either.

The Titan, since 2022, has sold almost as many units in total as the Ford F-series did last year.

How am I? After 2.5 years and 4 shots I have, this morning, tested positive for COVID.

Anecdotes, of course, mean nothing - otherwise the plural of anecdote would be anecdata. So I won’t pretend my tiny sample of a handful of folks who own Teslas and are planning on replacing them soon with another brand of EV is in any way meaningful.

My business partner ditched his Tesla for a Polestar 2 EV. Rationale? Tesla was fine when it was pretty much the only option out there, but the Polestar is a much better vehicle. I think there are a lot of people out there with Teslas with pretty much zero loyalty to the brand.

mirrors actually arent a small amount of energy. they’re about 5% of your overall drag. that can easily be the difference between 285 and 300 miles per charge... everybody wants more range... this is part of the solution.

There’s no actual reason to believe they’re necessarily worse in any way. 

I don’t think those are legal stateside yet anyway. 

Think back to high school. Remember the kid who was really smart, but never did any homework or studied for a test? They averaged high Cs, low Bs. Everyone – especially the teachers – knew they could do better, if only they tried. They finally buckled down, earned a great SAT score, and got into a good collage.

It went to collage? Are you saying it went to art school?

Absolutely. I always enjoyed the looks of the Phaeton or the first generation Touareg for instance, just very restrained but classy looking cars.

You mean the Grand Wagoneer L Trailwhale.

I’m waiting for the Grand Wagoneer L Trailhawk. 

Car companies: Nobody wants Sedans, we need to stop making Sedans.
Also car companies: We put all our time/energy into this Flagship Sedan.

I like the cut of your jib!

The Ioniq5 looks like a 1980s idea of a futuristic car and I’m here for it. I love that bold crease down the side, I love the grid taillights. It looks like something out of Total Recall. The only thing I don’t like is the wheels, which don’t really fit the styling of the rest of the car.

Close. The right way is to only travel with the clothes on your body. Make them last a few days then swap them out in a Wal-Mart changing room. This is especially true if you’re planning to fly on a budget airline.

we’re actually considering one of these things, because of where the market is right now, we can sell our current 2020 Ioniq EV for right around $30,000 which is roughly $6000 more than what we paid for it.

Yeah, that would make it the fastest Hyundai ever (nipping the Genesis Coupe by 0.2 seconds).

Yeah, the rise in fuel prices may actually prompt a return to hub-and-spoke routing to a degree that may make the A380 more sensible for some routes.
