I would have to consume an extra 127 gallons of gas a year to pay what you pay. 

Georgia charges $200/year for EV registration to “make up” for the decrease in gas tax revenues. Current gas tax in GA is $0.3515/gallon, so my break-even point would be 569 gallons of fuel annually in a comparable gasoline-powered car to my Model 3.

Washington state is charging EVs $150 extra a year in car registration fees, which comes out to paying MORE than if I was driving a similar sized gasoline car.  $50 of that fee is specifically for charging stations.

One good place to put chargers would be apartment complex parking lots. My commute is <10 miles, I could easily drive an electric car... except I have nowhere to charge it. I’ve even talked to the leasing company about paying to have one installed, they won’t try to bring it up with corporate unless I actually commit…

Look at moneybags over here with his “memory seats”. you think you’re fancy Kristen or something?

I spend the next 3 months trying to get the seat back in the right position.

I just don’t get it. The frequency someone in my neighborhood posts online that their car was ‘broken into’ when it was left unlocked, street-parked is embarrassing. Even our alderman is just ridiculing them openly.

Technically the GM guilty of felony-level badge engineering went bankrupt in 2008. The GM we have today is literally a different company.

Give GM a little credit here. We’re talking about a huge company that not too long ago made some utter pieces of shit on wheels and had a serious badge engineering problem. What they are doing here is not only a complete re-brand but a complete product and service portfolio replacement. That is amazingly difficult for…

Where have all the people that love cars on Jalopnik gone? Every comment section seems to keep harking back to judgement about how other people spend their money or finance their cars. I am sick of the “If you lease a car that’s stupid. I lived in my mother’s basement eating baked beans for 20 years so I can afford…

That’s probably something psychosomatic, which I completely understand as I get that way sometimes, too. Like, know when you’re on the fence if something is still good but you end up eating it anyway, and then you feel sick all day entirely because you’re so worried about getting sick? The mind is a powerful thing.

The…

Tell her that if she’s ever been in the kitchen while you’re cooking meat, she has inhaled some meat particles, and thus cannot call herself a vegetarian.

Obviously the truest, most conservative financial conservatives converted all of their liquid assets into canned food and water purification straws years ago in preparation for the end of times.

Lmao.

I don’t think he is saying you have to pay cash, simply that you have to have the ability to pay cash to be able to “afford” it.  So, if you are buying a $30k car, you’ve got to have $30k in liquid assets on hand.  Sure, take the financing, but have the money.

It’s surprising to a lot of people here on Jalopnik, but some people like to get a new car every 3 or 4 years. And they aren’t greedy capitalist pigs for doing so.

haha what ?

If you can’t afford to pay cash, you can’t afford that car.

This is really bad advice.

For many reasons, a plug-in like the MX-30 will not have “all the emissions of an ICE”
