If you just want an electric car, there are lots of options. If you want a Model S, this price isn’t awful based on what’s out there. It’s ok I’d say.

I’ve owned six EVs so far, and none has shown any significant change in range from new. I’m not saying range doesn’t diminish, but most studies suggest it’s in the order of 1-2% / year. If the car has used a lot of fast DC charging to maximum charge, that might be different, but the average EV that’s mostly charged at…

I think it’s overpriced as well, but battery degradation in Teslas is actually very well managed, on average:

....I mean, more is still more, if only slightly so. Consider the counterfactual that, 10 years on, more people had switched from a 2013 Camry to a 2023 Camry hybrid: 316g CO2/mile vs. 170g CO2/mile.

As so, so many others have said, gas is too cheap here; the national average in 2023 of $3.54/gallon is only…

Not buying that in the real world, at all. Maybe on the highly unrealistic Euro tests, but in the real world I have rented LOTS of both of those vehicles, as they are very standard rental cars here in the US and I travel constantly for work. In the real world, there is a good 5-8mpg difference between them, more on…

I seriously do not get parents today. Most of my friends with kids DO drive them to school every day. Despite there being a perfectly good bus that would pick them up right down the street.

I’m sure it’s all that and not the fact that Americans are fat, lazy, and feel entitled to drive.......

I just post this video any time I see a story like this. Maybe some of the so-called “men” that think holding a gun makes them tough will get the message.

Mental healthcare would work if there was universal healthcare, you can’t expect people with cheap insurance to auto diagnosticate themselves and go spend money they don’t have getting the help they need. 

yet you removed guns from the equation and it probably ends up with 2 black eyes and sore fists.

This all could have been prevented if there had been a third person with a larger, higher-caliber gun who could have defused the situation. 

Lmao, I guarantee you I burn way more calories on an ebike than walking or driving a manual. You still need to pedal on a class 3 bike. Cycling burns more calories per hour than walking btw. E-bikes just let us go faster and farther. I just rent my car out to make extra income or keep it in the garage to keep miles…

A lot of what you just said is pretty blatantly incorrect or otherwise misinformed, but I’m gonna assume you live somewhere with poor biking infrastructure or otherwise doesn’t make much sense for it.

The thing is, I cannot bike to the point that it is real exercise because that involves working up a sweat. Biking is a thousand times healthier than driving (assuming you’re safe from toxic people in brodozers and Jeeps and far away from the semi-conscious in crossovers), but I wouldn’t equal commuting by bike to…

We have built a lot of bike infrastructure but the question is, how much of it is truly functional? Like, in my city we have an impressive array of dedicated bike paths and these are fantastic for getting from, say, my neighborhood to the farmer’s market downtown. BUT, we don’t have a lot of neighborhood focused bike…

Did it for years, never smelled bad. You just learn how to do it correctly.

Manufacturing of complex goods requires certainty. A dysfunctional political system that enables policy changes depending on whether a slight breeze moves past is a recipe for disaster.

In fairness  - if I’m visiting Putin in Russia - I’m developing a fear of flying and taking the train too.

Shit, 28 years. The 90's was longer ago than i remember....

Boring answer: anything Toyonda.
