OK. What about the next time you burn out another $400 board?  Wouldn’t it make sense to get that new dryer instead of fixing the old inefficient dryer?

I have to say I like both the coupe and the sedan.  Not that I would ever buy either one, but the design is not too bad.

Adding NVH to a car!? I can’t even....

On the West Bank they voted for the Palestinian Authority which has been peaceful and has done everything Israel asked them to do. And what did they get in return? Even more Israeli land thefts. As JFK once said- those who make peaceful dissent impossible, make violent revolution inevitable. Israel brought this upon…

You seem to be forgetting that Hamas is not the only one keeping hostages. Israel is holding at least 2000 Palestinians in ‘administrative detention’ - which is extra-judicial imprisonment with no charges and no trials.

Your side has already killed 30,000 Palestinians. Congratulations. You won the Genocide Olympics.

I’m glad he is convicted. But one gets the feeling that, if the victim was a young black man and not a white woman, the killer would have been able to get off with the usual ‘fearing for his life’ excuse.

My point is we are living in a world powered by lithium batteries now. There is no turning back the clock.

The Jewish driver would take your order but then take 2 hr.s to walk it to you because he can’t drive on the Sabbath!

What is the power usage on the Hummer EV?

The real solution is going to have to be solid state batteries.  So probably another 5 years.

Well then you better avoid hauling cellphones, laptops, Roombas, VR glasses and all the other appliances and gadgets that have lithium batteries.

Where are you getting those numbers? On the EPA website:

Financially, the only thing that really makes sense, is to buy a car that has already bottomed out in terms of depreciation. So in other words, a 1994 Corolla with 180k. Zero depreciation on this car. The down side is you have to waste time and money fixing it. So in the end there is no free lunch. If you buy a new…

In my experience these plug strips are never totally air tight. It will eventually develop a slow leak. Whereas the mushroom style plugs are both easier to put in and also more air tight over the long run:

It’s not a scam at all. The scam is that here in the US, the car makers decided to push big expensive EV SUV’s instead of cheaper small compact EV’s. Elsewhere in the world- like in China- small EV’s dominate.

If it was made by anyone other than Toyota you would be right.

Well the Prime would also sell for more when it comes time to sell the car. So the ‘it takes * years to recuperate the extra outlay’ calculations don’t really apply here.

I find it hard to believe the Hummer EV, as bad as it is, would be worse than a Ford Raptor. Something is fishy about their calculations.

I was amazed by how many Fiat 500's (the modern one) I saw. Here in the US they are known for falling apart if you look too hard at them. I have no idea how the italians manage to keep these crapboxes running.
