All of upstate New York has affordable cities like Syracuse. If you can make it work for you, there are some real gems. 

Well, maybe refunds.

Here’s about the most definitive take on how well Andor did as a streaming property:

Sorry, no refunds. Tesla already started to recognize FSD revenue to help with the quarterly numbers.

Agreed. Not the best dealer experience, but their main EV expert was out sick when I was going through the purchase. Actually, the dealer was short handed overall due to a bunch of people out sick. 

I don’t like the way you control the audio etc, but my wife has no issue with it. She’s got it all set up and for a lot of things you’d like to do, the voice commands work well. All my wife’s friends love it. That I don’t get, but we got the red and I think the big glass roof impresses.My wife loves the way it handles…

The ID branding definitely works for the US. My wife now dailies an ID.4 and she couldn’t have named a single VW model other than the ID.4. When we were at the dealer she kept asking me what’s this one, what’s this one? VW was just not on the front of her mind. But she really liked the fit and finish of the ID.4. We…

I wonder if there are any pricing concessions for opening up these chargers. I could see a world where Tesla chargers open up, but charge far more for a non-Tesla to connect.

Oh sure. And it’s much easier to have a buddy or AAA show up with a can of gas. With EVs it seems like it’s a tow situation if you loose juice.

I've made this comment elsewhere, but when you drive mostly in a rural area you can feel the range anxiety and definitely plan ahead. My town had one pump open until 6pm on weeknights, earlier on weekends. Next pump was probably 20 miles away and also not open that late. Always good to have a can of gas in a pinch. 

Growing up in a semi rural area, we always planned our trips carefully. One gas station in town that closed at 6 most days (12 pm on Sundays). 20-ish miles to the next station. And even those weren’t open that late. You learned to never let the tank get too low. Though if you knew Brad and Judy, they might turn on the…

Given the size of the US market and federal incentives, it's really surprising Subaru isn't moving nearly all their manufacturing to the US. 

Wut? I'm taking delivery at a local Ford dealer. Build date scheduled, not sure how long it takes to show up at the dealership once it's built. 

March 2023. I got in under the last window this past summer. 

I’m hanging in there for the hybrid Maverick. Build date scheduled for middle of March. I have no idea how accurate these dates are and how long it takes to go from build to dealer.

Amazing how cable solved what Netflix is trying to do. My MIL has a beach house and has to pay for internet and cable at both her homes. That physical cable from the utility pole is a very tough item to share.

I tend to agree, but just in case I’ll print out this thread and include it with my taxes. 

Just wait until Elon gives Ye the first one. 

Agreed. All the major players are investing in capacity here in the US. A player like VW would be right to complain about its BEV investments in TN that may or may not pay off. 

I’m looking at this right now. A TN ID.4 build is arriving today at my local dealer and I need to decide if I still want it without the $7500 federal tax credit. The Manchin bluster is giving me pause.
