I don’t want to spend hours charging one. I like being able to fill up my car in a couple of minutes and then go driving whereever I want without worrying.

I hear this option a lot from people, but it doesn’t compute for me.

Why am I not buying an EV? Same reason I’m not buying a car in the first place.

Cost, lack of sufficient infrastructure, inability to repair it myself, and range/“refueling time” for the objective reasons. No manual option, no way to buy one without interior screens, and I dislike their appearance for the subjective ones. I’ve been driving manuals for so long that being required to “drive” a vehic…

Can’t afford one. Or any new car. And by the time EV’s are in a used market that I could afford, they’ll need new batteries which will cost more than the car is worth.

Right up until you don’t.

Except that sales have been dropping and inventory has been going up since December.

Carmakers “destroy” unsold cars?!?! As a former new car dealer, I can’t begin to tell you what utter bullsh!t this is! What Q-Anon blog told you this “fact”?

Fleet sales were 22% of new cars last quarter normally they are like 8%. Retail sales were down.

This is still an enthusiast’s site. Don’t you dare call the Lincoln LS mediocre.....

Agree - having driven it hundreds of times in cars and on motorcycles.

This highway is not easy to drive during daylight (even though it is better than others in Westchester). There are very few, if any streetlights for the majority of the highway as well.
And the highway is very much not in “Greater NYC.”

I know that stretch of road very well and it is not surprising at all. Been on it hundreds, if thousands of times over the years. Accidents from running off the road there are usually deadly. The Hutch/Merritt Pkwy was designed and built in the 1930s and was built to be a country road. Over the last few decades it…

Full size trucks are awesome if you’re the one in it. My F-150 has great visibility, tons of interior space, and a bed that I can use for a lot of things, especially when I installed a roll up cover on it to keep the elements out. Is it tougher to park? I mean maybe the first week you have it, but drive what you can…

Probably just me, but I think the Envision is one of the nicest looking crossovers on the road today.

Counterpoint: The Merritt is awesome, it’s ever-increasing size of vehicles that is the problem.

I grew up near the Merritt. So many high school friends spun out on the exits. You’re going 65 to keep up with traffic and end up in a tight radius exit designed before WWII. Also, the elevation changes mentioned lead to traffic jams as drivers constantly hit the brakes, especially driving southwest into the afternoon…

I can attest to this. I am actively between Boston and NYC, and all of the nav systems try to push you onto the Merritt. I honestly find staying on 84 all the way out to 684 to be a less frustrating ride.

But on those rare Saturday and Sunday mornings when traffic is light, the sun is shining, and you have the right…

Having lived in southwestern Connecticut and southeastern New York -and commuted both ways to work- I’d choose the Merritt over I-95 almost any day...the exceptions being days after wind storms when the Merritt’s natural beauty is strewn all over the pavement. Those overhanging trees may be pretty but they can tie up…

I drive on this everyday, truly some bad drivers. The road is amazing when no one is on it, can easily do serious numbers since the cops don't care at all. The lack of on ramps is miserable, and the people who never leave the left lane makes it 10000 times worse. All it takes is one accident and it's shut down for…
