500+ miles of range? I don’t know the numbers but I am going to guess you are talking about a minority of ICE vehicles. (My Honda Prelude gets ~300.) And the number of people that fix their own cars? Talk about a minority of that minority. And, FWIW, I have fixed the only “problem” that showed up on my 2014 Nissan…

It’s actually a genius idea. I bet the next stage is to update the Model 3s so they can all get linked together and have a single driver in front of the chain lead the rest of them along. That will allow passengers to sit in the drivers seat of the linked car thereby increasing passenger capacity from 25 to 33%. The…

“Libertarians are like house cats. They are convinced of their fierce independence while utterly dependent on a system they don’t appreciate or understand.”

If he was a private citizen, he’s be driving a Hummer or a big-ass Ram (with a hemi) to prove how manly he is.

Daley was peak idiocy.

I have been watching this guys channel and he has a series of videos out about Chicago. In them they touch on how Chicago has sold off parts of the things like this and tolls to banks or outside interests so no money actually stays in the city, it goes to Qatar, Canada, Australia, etc....

Daley doing a tour of other cities telling everyone what a good deal it was was also peak idiocy.

Here in the great white north, we elected the Conservative government in the 90's who sold off Highway 407 for 99 years despite taxpayers paying to build it.

Did we learn our lesson? No. We re-elected them in 2018 and they’ve promptly sold off prime waterfront property again for you guessed it - 99 years, and we’re…

There is something so pathetic about someone who has to constantly tell you how much of a manly man he is...

Yep, that was in the era when he was out of every fuck he had left to give, which is saying something as he never had a large supply of those to begin with.

Selling your birthright for a mess of pottage, or some really sweet bribes for the mayor and aldermen who will happily shaft the people in exchange for a Cayman Islands bank account.

They quadrupled the rate when they took over. 

Well, 40% of Americans don’t pay income taxes, so a non-refundable rebate wouldn’t help them anyway.   You have to be in the top 30 percentile of earners to even have $7500 in liability.

This is pretty much the Libertarian wet dream, which is why we should all recoil in horror at libertarians and their insane arguments and claims.

Most people knew it was a bad deal from the start, but Mayor Daley pushed this through the city council in such a short time that he didn’t give the citizens a chance to weigh in on the deal. All that money was spent within a few years of getting it so Chicago has nothing to show for it. Daley also sold off the Skyway…

I was living there in 08 when this went through. Me and my wife went out onto our street and gorilla glued like 20 meters shut in protest.. small effort but i am glad it cost the city a little bit for its stupidity

As of January 2024, the $7.5K tax credit becomes available at purchase, rather than having to front the money and then claim it when you file your taxes the next year. That right there would very much explain a bit of a wait that out slowdown. And you can tell that the automakers are pretty much expecting that to…

Next you’ll be wanting cities to put in street lights and stop lights.  No way a city can afford to run electricity like that!

The biggest hurdle to overcome when it comes to EV adoption is the fact that there is no good solution for much of the country to charge their cars if they don’t have a dedicated parking spot with an outlet nearby. People keep focusing on how many fast chargers there are in an area, expecting it to work like filling…

It’s the trend.
