9000 fucking pounds? Jesus Christ we can’t even do EVs right. Every day I’m more and more convinced that we flew too close to the sun a long time ago but convinced ourselves that the horrible burns were a nice tan. Fuck it all, no engines over 200 hp without paying for a more comprehensive license and any vehicle over…

We own our third and fourth Foresters still. Combined we have logged about 600K of them with 450K on the two we have sold. Foresters are not off-road vehicles. They are nimble. They are sure-footed. They eat up the worst National Forest roads. That doesn’t make them off-road machines. They don’t have any real low gear…

It’s your pet, not everyone else’s. Leave the dog at home, especially if you’re going to a restaurant.

This is from a lecture given by P.D. Ouspensky, author of “The Fourth Way” -

Best thing you can do is just breathe. Its going to happen, there are no rules about whos luggage goes where other than first class and there will always be folks who value themselves over all others. I used to fly 30-40 weeks of the year and you just have to take a breath and get on with life.

So the issue is that you’re paying for all the maintenance at once rather than piecemeal over the same mileage for an ICE car? Hell, just the regular service interval tuneups on a comparable ICE car would probably cost you a $2-3K let alone if you actually needed anything replaced.

That looks like the vehicular equivalent of a cartoon character that’s just had its ass kicked up around its shoulders.

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.

This horrendous abomination and every other way too gigantic, way too obese, way too powerful, way too fugly electric luxury SUV. Fuck those things for clogging up our (european) cities, wasting so much energy which is more often than not still fossil and causing wasteful emissions, for the insane amount of fine…

Easily the Power Wheels JoJo Siwa Jeep. Just look at it. The range sucks. The roll bar offers zero protection, and its top speed is, shall we say, anemic. Not to mention I don’t think this think would make it 10 feet into Moab. Dammit Jeep, get your shit together.

This. “100 miles range is fine” is “can you get by with 75 miles in the winter? That’s 35 miles one way and back hoping chargers are 1). Installed, 2). Working, and 3). Unoccupied.

The Mini E would be fine at $20k but it’s just stupid priced the same as a Bolt that, although less luxurious, gets well over double the…

Fight me

You’re not alone, I came here to mention Tesla, as well.

Also long trips mean long timeframes, and renting a car for $1000 is a few payments. If I already have a car payment, that’s not something I can just spring for.

chargers are cool. i don’t get yer statement.... 

I’m wondering if some of the design stagnation and high barrier of entry will stick around when some of the other major car makers really start churning out EV’s.  I have a feeling that Elon has gotten away with a lot of this because Tesla was the only manufacturer really going all in on EV.  They weren’t the only…

An EV people claim is bad but is actually good is the Mini Cooper EV. People complain about the 110mi range yet the average american drives 50 miles a day and almost no one road trips in a mini cooper. they weigh around 3000lbs, do 0-60 in a respectable 6 seconds, and cost $30k. The reality is that most homes have one…

The only reason I’m angry is that I wanted to be the one to say it. Honestly, any Tesla though. Their predatory sales model might actually be worse than the Stealership model, the fanbase is rabid, and the build qualities of all of them are dubious. I renounce Elon as our Lord and Savior.

The #1 cause of fuel pumps being slow is that I’m already late to wherever I’m heading.
