Do you mean City Nerd? I like that guy!

The only legal destinations are indoor or outdoor licensed ranges.

I laughed at your comment, but there is a difference between just “knowing” something bleedingly obvious, and having objective evidence to back it up.

And the base model Ioniq 5 can’t charge at anything approaching 350kW, either. I think it’s limited to around 150kW, which is still decent but not blazing.

Sweet Jesus that’s terrifying.

Four blocks? I’ll never get over the kind of laziness that leads someone to drive four measly blocks. If he’d walked, he wouldn’t be looking at disciplinary action right now.

It certainly won’t have a 58kWh battery at that price. Presumably that would be a long-range option. I suspect something around 30kWh - plenty for a city car - at such an aggressive price point.

I’m guessing the Wranger comment was very tongue-in-cheek.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to evaluate the data based on whether the subjects are “morning people” or “night owls.” I’m a morning person and have never struggled with the time change, to the point I can’t believe how much people bitch and moan about it.

So are they doing the AWD mechanically instead of a separate motor? Having the exact same horsepower would be quite a coincidence if they swapped one motor for two on the AWD model.

As a frequent cyclist and pedestrian, the “imposing” SUV front end can die a thousand fiery deaths.

If it was an inside job as posited, that probably wouldn’t have slowed them down either.

Regarding the per-minute vs per-kWh pricing: in many (most?) areas the charging company cannot charge per kWh because of laws that say only the utility company may charge for power. So instead they charge for the time you’re parked while charging. It’s an unintended consequence of what was probably very well…

We would have been fine with a Bolt, but where I am there is zero inventory and factory orders are taking 8-10 months. So used ones are going for the same price as new. Sorry, no. I’m not going to take the depreciation hit when people are no longer desperate enough to overpay.

My wife and I had a Leaf, but it got wrecked a few weeks ago. It was our only car, so we need to replace it. Our preference is to get another used EV, but we had enough range issues with the Leaf that we wanted something with more range.

Regarding Tesla’s price drop:

I get that reading comprehension might be hard for you, but maybe try again? 

This one-upmanship EV wankery is boring. Wake me up when meaningful range and true high speed charging is available at a reasonable price.

I wish this was a thing in British Columbia. Demand is still very high, and EVs are hard to come by. Used pricing is still the same or higher than brand new MSRP on Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Polestar 2, Hyundai Kona EV, Kia Soul EV. It’s nuts.

Owen, Owen, Owen, how wrong you are. As the owner of that exact year and model of Leaf I can tell you that the range may have been 107 miles brand new, but it isn’t anymore. In the city you might get about 80 miles out of it if you aren’t using the heat. If you stick to about 65 mi/hr you might get 60 miles from it on…
