MSRP for a V8 Vantage was about $125k. I’m really shocked that $35k is a “too good to be true” price; they must not depreciate like I thought they would. I figured an almost 10-year-old British import would have at least 80% depreciation at this point. 

Keep dreaming. Website design is be rocket surgery around here!

Your terminology isn’t great either.

Don’t be ridiculous. An individual doesn’t have to know about all of those things... That’s why professionals exist. Your argument is really that an electrician can’t figure out how to wire in a charger or what charger your panel can handle? Again, don’t be ridiculous.Does an individual homeowner have to know the…

Save your breath man, the mental gymnastics of this dude are on another level. I regret getting him out of the greys by engaging him

I think another good idiom is, “don’t feed the troll.”

With Cadillac’s initiative to be totally electric by 2030, I was the one holding the short straw when it came time to decide who was going to spearhead our “electrification” at our dealership.  We are investing just shy of $250k for the required chargers and all the infrastructure needed for support them. A lot of…

Is it possible for the brain trust at Jalopnik to rub together the few brain cells they have left and make a mobile website that doesn’t constantly refresh, scroll around randomly and close the comments section automatically when I’m trying to read them? Am I asking too much?

Car salesmen don’t know anything about the ICE cars they are currently selling, beyond what color interior you can get. Why anyone would expect them to accurately field questions about the future of charging technology is beyond me.

2nd Gear: “As a pioneer of half assed electric vehicles (EVs) with subpar range and inadequate cooling/battery management, Nissan has sort of democratized EVs and invested in building charging infrastructure (but only at their dealers) and energy management (which soaks up good used Leaf batteries for added profit…

Good. Tell Giopapadopapolis I said so.

“So many of the questions aren’t even about the car,” said Joe Jackson, general sales manager at suburban Detroit Bowman Chevrolet.

Omnicron sounds like a shitty Transformer which is a rusted out Nissan Hardbody who transforms into a giant middle finger gesture and that’s it.

You’ll forgive me for having very little sympathy for dealers complaining about people asking them real, important questions about how they might actually go about *using* an EV. The market is changing. You either change with it or you get left in the dust. Whining about people asking questions you don’t know the…

“The stock market is legal gambling with other people’s money.”

I mean, with that logic, do you even need a car? I’m sure you could technically get anywhere you need by foot, bicycle, or public transport. At best, if you do truly need a car, I’m sure a 91 Civic hatch would meet all your needs. Let’s be real here, your need for a car isn’t any more real or significant than parents…

Exactly. I have a double cab Tacoma, people are surprised at how poorly a modern car seat fits in it. Modern, rear facing child seats take up a ton of space. Modern booster seats take up a ton of space.

I’ve told my wife if anything happens to us, the plan is to go full capitalist and just offer money to a nurse. If we need an ICU bed, I’m offering 50k cash to anyone who gets me one from someone that’s unvaccinated, end of story. Sorry you didn’t get vaccinated, but it was your choice, so YOU get to die for it, not…

The only major concern is ICU beds.
