“The plug in was for my commute, San Diego to Downtown LA.”

This is no good, my daily  commute is 450 miles one way and I tow 7000lbs, I cant wait 20 minutes for it to recharge ! I want a 6000sux

“...a $500 “general admission” ticket, featured no views of the track itself; instead, you’d hang out with a bunch of other F1 fans in a convention center and watch the race on TV.”

1) It’s a half-decade old. That’s 12 years old in ICE-V years.

It’s OKAY priced. A new 3 is similar but the S is a better highway cruiser and this one seems pretty well put together (I did not get a feeler gauge out for the gaps). Redo the tint (mandatory driver side and probably windshield), redo the tail lights (asshole idea), a couple of grand off and I’d be interested.

I cycle and drive an EV.  ;)

Interesting how years of anti-cyclist/pedestrian sentiment and car-biased propaganda has pushed an entire population of people to see them as subhuman.

Lol porsche overall has a ridiculously low default rate. Nobody cross-shops car payments that are $1500 apart. Anyone looking at a $100K SUV/Daily can more than afford it. 

Yeah... Just because they can’t afford it, they think no one else can afford it either lol.

Elon’s famous for saying that if factory workers can’t work from home, software engineers shouldn’t get to either. But that doesn’t apply to him, does it? He’s in an intense leadership role in multiple companies. If I told my management “Hey, I’ll be spending eight months of the year working at other companies, but I…

Never thought about that perspective but it makes sense actually. Our family was a one car household for a few years until last year when I finally got myself a car. And since I hardly go into an office and only drive a few hundred miles a month, I just got an older, interesting car for about $10k.

The number of peope who work for Twitter and Tesla and SpaceX are not enough to shift the car market like even a fraction of a percent when spread over the next however many years.

More likely he (like other CEOs) have tax credits built into their shiny new buildings and factories that revolve around a certain number…

Oh totally agreed. And that’s a big reason why I think my family will be looking at a PHEV in the near future.

Apparently Melon commented that workers who wanted to work-from-home “gave off Marie Antoinette vibes” and were “detached from reality” - which is 1) almost as rich as he is, and 2) more than a bit self-serving given his demands on his own workers, and the direct connection between workers having to commute to work…

Worse, tinted WINDSHIELDS... it was a thing I used to see only a few times years ago in Queens in some eurotrash neighborhoods but now I’m seeing it out east on Long Island... like HOW do they not get pulled over daily?

Got to hand it to Kia. Cutting out the middle man.

Inclines largely cancel each other out from regenerative braking and just plain old physics...

Fucking awful, awful man. Too bad the fall wasn’t more serious.

The older I get the less space I take up outside of my house. I used to climb mountains by myself. I’d never do that now, and not just because of arthritis.

Sounds like she needs to shoot him down again.
