A business should make a profit. I don’t know how expensive it is to operate in the auto industry, but if a company makes over a billion in profit we should chastise them.

I would say it depends on the job. There are jobs that aren’t meant to be careers, and that I would think shouldn’t be considered livable (whatever that means, as everyone needs are different).

How is it racism? I am pretty sure that there is a diverse field of those striking.

I don’t want a union in my position. I would rather see it where I don’t pay dues so someone who doesn’t work next to me takes a large pay check home. Management of unions is big money. 

Towing... That is my single largest lacking feature for a road trip. Towing in an EV that is at the same cost as I can buy a pickup is where the market lacks. Until then I will continue using ICE.

You are missing the fact that when roadtripping you have your 7 minutes of deadhead plus X amount of charge time. That grossly misconstrues it to make EV look better. If as you admit once every other month. 6 roadtrips a year really would catch up to an ICE in a hurry. 

WRX. It is a 4-door and sports-orientated at a minimum. I averaged 75-80 mph and 32 mpg. I topped off at 450 miles prior to leaving a large metro. It claimed 50 miles left to E, so it likely would have went over 500.

Need locations for charging. Those of us in rural America don’t have that possibility. Urban, okay, but rural it isn’t there.

Depends on location. I cover distance of 100 miles in some miserable conditions at time (-20F or colder). There are 5 locations between my place and my parent’s farm (which I help out on during the weekend) that I can fuel up. There are 0 options to charge to get the rest of the way. The average size of each of those…

Technically not free. Energy was used.

They are moving final production/sub-assembly to Taiwan, Vietnam, South Korea, or SE Asia to avoid the tariff. I have seen it first hand. Parts are still partially made in China, but enough value added outside China.

The regulations were pushed through faster during the wanting years of the Obama administration to ensure they would be locked under his Presidency so that the next president couldn't change them. 

I personally think it should be the EPA setting the tone and CARB agreeing. The vehicles are federally standardized vehicles. If the EPA had to create zones I would be fine with it for fleet averaging. In the Midwest there are more people who want to get home from work if it gets crappy out. SoCal doesn’t have large…

If I had one, I would have to leave town for a 20 mile plus drive prior to arriving at work.

No, it doesn’t.

Maybe, maybe not. the ZR1 is already around 120k. They might bump that up some. Or they do like this, a level of performance for price and hit similar marks.

Well you pull the center console out to do that... Kidding, but I would think it would be reasonably easy to drop the engine/transmission/rear suspension out of this thing. 

lol yeah, and all the disclaimers in ads for BIG Pharma are a joke. Hence they aren’t safe for consumers either, no matter how much testing.

Depends where you live. It is a bit of a drive from my house to get to a CBP screening location for an interview (~70-90 miles), but my parents live 11 miles south of the Canadian Border while I am 70. I am guessing that the interview would be easy to schedule. If I knew further out from my international trip next…

That’s the 3/4T pickups you mentioned, half things will be half that much torque. Somedays I wish I had a diesel Colorado, but overall the gas does alright. 18k miles per year so far
