After 15+ years, Jalopnik: 

He’s a millennial. Do I need to say more?

I mostly agree, but then again this IS the government, it’s gonna take its sweet time paying out.  It’s kind of like if you owe the government or a bank or whatever money that want it YESTERDAY, but if they owe you, well you’ll get it, eventually.

Oh god that makes it even worse. The state of universities if they’re graduating kids like this.

Amazon’s investment into Rivian for these trucks literally saved the company from going under before they produced a single R1T.

I’m not sure if it’s everywhere, but in OK there’s a totally separate delivery station for large and heavy items. And as of last year, which has probably changed, was an independent contractor who made those deliveries in their own company trucks.

I can’t fathom not understanding it. What’s unclear?

The downside is that you have to live in New Jersey.

One of the main tenets of CCW classes is to have heightened situational awareness as well as minimizing exposure to places where you might actually need to shoot someone.

To be more fair and honest, no one beside the law firms bank account will show an increase in value.

To be fair, a lot of pretty ordinary people own some Tesla stock.

This also serves as yet another argument for EVs. Gas stations are statistically the most likely place for most of us to become victims of a random violent crime.

Nobody is going to try that on somebody my size. And if they try it on my mother, I pity the fool. She WILL hose them down with gas and toss a match their way. She may be crazy, but she’s ex-military and one cast iron bitch when she wants to be, even at 75yo.

This smells like one of those “it happened to one lady in a random PA town so that local police department is warning everyone nationwide...” type of things, like the whole “gangs flash their brights at people and commit violence as part of gang initiation” thing that was going around the internet for a long time.

So then once there are dedicated chargers at home and at work, what will be your excuse then? You’re acting like the issue of not having chargers at apartment complexes and other non-single family homes will never get solved when in fact cities and private development are adding chargers for their residents right now.

It’s more likely that they missed it completely.

Im assuming since you can afford a 100k plus car, that you didn’t have any time constraints on your trip.

Sometimes they do if the true costs of those products are externalized from the user. For example, R-134A was not a superior refrigerant for automotive air conditioning to the R-12 it replaced. However, R-12 needed to be banned because of the ozone layer depletion it caused, the cost of which was collectively borne

I have driven a Taycan from New York to Los Angeles. It was fine. 

Its a complex question. There are a lot of categories where EVs are clearly better, and with the right use case, they are fantastic. There are also a few major categories where they just can’t compete yet. Charge time, towing range, and charging for those without home chargers are definitely big ones
