If it’s broken you don’t need to add gas.

Will any of these be eligible for the $7500 tax credit for buyers (not lesees)?

A 35 mph, 265 mile tunnel makes no sense, even for Elmo. Assuming a straight shot with no stops or delays for bathrooms, traffic etc that works out to a 7.57 hour trip, one way. For a drive that takes a bit more than 4 hours in a car right now to cover 270 miles. Hell, the Vegas shuttle bus from LA is under 5 hours

What do you mean? Something that’s always broken and never leaves your driveway will save you a ton of gas since you’re talking the bus everywhere!

ND at that price with those problems and flaws. I have worked on these when I owned a shop in years past and that’s about $10k too much for my wallet for that particular car in that shape.

EVs can sit in traffic for ages and not meaningfully run down the battery as long as you keep the heat and A/C off, and EVs are BY FAR the most efficient in stop and go traffic, my 252 mile range Bolt has significantly more range when kept under 40 mph. Like 300+ miles on a full charge.

And unlike any gas car, I can

Except cruise ship tourists don’t rent hotel rooms, they often don’t go to restaurants because they get their food and drinks onboard and I’d guess those local uber drivers aren’t making their years’ income in the 60 days a year the place is pummeled by 15K cruise ship passengers. Who wants to take an uber when the

Please tell us which “well established consumer protection laws” are being “blatantly violated” by GM here.

Be specific.

If they’re so “well established” and are being “blatantly violated” as you say, you should have no problem listing them here.

Also, auto manufacturers can absolutely limit factory warranties to the

Good luck with that, and bring a lot of money to pay your lawyer (and possibly the defendant’s legal fees too, if/when you lose).

30 years in the business, I service managed three major market multiline dealerships (NY, L.A. and Nor Cal bay area) and was a tech or master tech at two more covering a total of 12

I’ve seen gazillions of Teslas in San Francisco and exactly one (1) VinFast. It was a demo car from the local franchise, and marked as such.

What are the odds they make the car decent enough or cheap enough to sell before they run out of money and the founder pulls the plug?

Obviously I’m not talking about producing or aggravating an unsafe situation.

The idea is to not have to go through the expense and hassle of finding an electrician, pulling permits, replacing an entire panel, doing whatever code-mandated upgrades are required when you do that with an old property, etc etc.

It’s often a lot more than $600. Like, way more. And all these factors can be a huge

Apparently you can get a dummy antenna that plugs in well enough to avoid setting a trouble code but does not transmit data.

As a motorcyclist in Tesla-crowded San Francisco, this is a real concern. It’s one thing for paying Tesla customers opting in to kill and injure themselves beta testing Elmo’s half baked BS, but the rest of us who know better also share these roads and absolutely did NOT sign up for that.

This is why devices like the simpleswitch exist.

How much of that load are these old houses using from, say, midnight to 7 AM?

I live in San Francisco, which has an electrical code that’s demanding enough so that lots of licensed electricians refuse to do work here, but will work in Oakland, Alameda, Hayward etc.

Genesis wasn’t spun off into a separate brand until 2015/6 IIRC. I don’t know if they used any of the defective Hyundai engine families in that time.

As far as the old house thing - we have an old, small rowhouse. Our typical level 2 charger pulls 32 amps max, about the same as an electric clothes dryer. Our biggest barrier to getting a standard NEMA-50 plug installed was finding an eletrician willing to do such a small job. Seriously.

We didn’t need one, but there
