This post should read: “Meet the interviewees we specifically cherry-picked to make you rage.”

Uhh, I would be surprised. Right now buying an electric car is a novelty. And you want to go with the “hip, cool, technological edge” brand.

Ah, 1st Gear: good ol Nafta.

You don’t need as many as gas pumps because there are less people filling up, because most of the “filling up” is done at home.

This is an interesting question. But while some rich people do, I know plenty of poor(er) people who give no fucks while theyre rollin’ coal down the road.

I’ll jump on the battery swap bandwagon. It won’t happen. It will never happen. You’d have to maintain too many different format batteries, keep them charged, and have different tools and systems to change the different formats—both between manufacturers and within a single manufacturer... it would have astronomical…

This isn’t really true: why? The majority of people will recharge at home. Also, gas stations aren’t cheap. Hypothetical costs are in the range of 300k, and that’s not where land value is cheap. Cost estimates of supercharging stations put them in the 150-250k neighborhood.

You couldn’t even post a 300M special? mmmmmm

It wasn’t snow, rather, snow that melted and refroze as ice which caused numerous accidents. When you add in the fact that people are already usually at an almost standstill going home to having some of the nation’s worst traffic, things get ugly in a hurry.

So... has anyone bought one of these? I’ve seen exactly 0 on the road.

Oooh that should be a post.. “If cars had honest names..”

What? The Karma was completed and in production.

Why do you think apartments would not offer something they can charge for?

Most of these brands were dead already. Saab was dead, and GM bought them. GM didn’t help them, well, because they couldn’t really be helped. They had a low volume product that they wanted to be unique—the cost to create that unique product was too much for the amount that they were actually selling.

As an Ohio native, Ohio is absolutely the worst. You should never be driving more than 10 over the speed limit on an interstate. I swear they have more highway patrol per capita than any other state I’ve ever lived in or driven through.

The Tesla Model S would like a word with you..

It’s not rare here. I’m guessing you don’t live in a major metro area. I see X5s, Land Rovers, and Cayennes a plenty. None have shit on their roof.

That’s hilarious. How many 100k+ SUVs do you see driving down the road with something on their roof? None? Oh, OK.

One of my favorite examples of this was allowing Adobe to buy Macromedia. Pretty much main competitors at the time. I have no idea why this was allowed to happen.
