I don’t like that you’re right, but you are right, take your star.

Mass market is definitely relative here. But while Tesla is the obvious comparison, it also kind of misses the point.

I could be talked into a used Bolt to replace my dying LEAF, but new ones are not common in my area, let alone a factory CPO, and I don’t want one bad enough to go chasing one out of town.

The sad part is how many of the people who will likely buy one of these vehicles that would never actually consider a GM vehicle.

Neutral: I did the used LEAF thing a few years ago. Really like having an EV, hate the LEAF, the car is fine, the batteries are horrible.

I have 4 cars ranging from 70 to 7 years old. I like to drive, but if I could hop in the car, tap in my destination, and sit back on a long monotonous highway drive while I do anything else instead of getting angry at how badly other people drive I’d do so in a heartbeat.

I’m going to say a Ghosn problem. The LEAF never really evolved out of the compliance car specs which doesn’t improve when you add Nissan’s penchant for mostly making cheap and lackluster vehicles that are basically the automotive equivalent of plastic SOLO cups.

Socialists; please post your typical “Nobody’s forcing you to be here! Leave the site now, etc.” garbage in response.

But Tesla’s (really Elon’s) whole point in the beginning was that they could drive down the cost of EVs to make them competitive with “normal” ICEs, the Model S and X were just the stepping stones to get there.

Well lets be fair here. Yahoo was added in 1999 apparently. In 2008 Microsoft offered $44.6 Billion for Yahoo and was rejected, by 2016 Verizon bought them for $4.8 Billion. So it was not like they got an offer they couldn’t refuse, the ship was going down and they bailed.

Yes, this has been known for some time. It is definitely not a maintenance part, though supposedly Tesla has taken steps to minimize the problem in programming. There was a company or two that had figured out how to fix it, but it’s not DIY unless you also build circuit boards regularly. It’s a great example of the…

I love my 2005 RT, and tend to keep cars forever, but if they had built one of these I would have traded up in a heartbeat!

This is basically our story too, except both groups of parents are high risk right now so they at least do take it seriously. Thank goodness for video chat but I feel for them though as it’s just not the same as being there, especially when it comes to young kids, that’s time you just won’t get back either.

Any such system will need to have extensive and ongoing security testing. We are not talking simply plugging into an OBDII port here.

It was more a combination of everyone buying more than they usually did followed by the people buying up everything they could find in order to either re-sell for profit.

The original Hummer was conceived as a way for civilians to play war, driving around a street-“friendly” version of the Humvee,

My mid-life crisis car would be a Morgan 3-wheeler, problem is even the used ones are practically full price.  Sure it’s horribly impractical, dangerous, and I have neither the space to store it or the time to drive it, but when has that ever mattered?

Alas but I have only one star to give!

Most politicians aren’t really paid all that well today considering. They do it for the power, not the money. Power attracts money, hence the campaign finance issues, Super PACs, and corruption that goes on.

It’s a 2013, I bought it with 11 “bars” (about 85% capacity) @ 47k miles, and in the three years I’ve owned it it has dropped to 6 “bars” (or about 50% capacity) @ 64K miles. It hit the warranty level 3 weeks after the warranty expired.
