Paying interest on a depreciating asset doesn’t seem to be a good strategy.

“We work jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need.”  - Tyler Durden, 'Fight Club'

I’m a writer & no Victorian prude by any means, but the consistent use of vulgar slang (other than satire) can often be an indicator of a less intelligent author & make one skeptical of the subject matter.

Buc-ee’s is a horrible company run by terrible people. Buck Fuc-ee’s.

Poor word choice I suspect. But if you actually hated it you’d be a total moron who hadn’t thought ownership through for even 8 seconds.

Another day another “The Tesla Cybertruck is not very good” story. Yawn. Did people really not know that putting ferrous iron on stainless steel out in the weather would result in rust? I feel like this is that Costco butter recall because they didn’t put that it contains milk on the package.

Nothing gets lower. It’s a mind fuck. Like gas will go up 25 cents and then down 20 cents and people will say it’s lower! No it’s still 5 cents more than it was.

Fuck you and your politicking after an unprecedented natural disaster.

My EV requires an order of magnitude less thought and effort than my gas cars. No oil changes. No air filters. No spark plugs. No gas stations. No clutches and throw out bearings. No diff fluid or pinion seals. No chain lube. No grease fittings. Two years ago I set the max charge and then I was done with maintenance.

Does opting in, with your picture on file, help you go through security faster the next time?  If the answer is no, then it’s of no benefit to me. 

When they say “didn’t compensate him for his trade-in” what does that mean exactly?

There are multiple other brands out there that aren’t Ford that will sell you that car, not hard to find them either. 

Its not just share, cult member. Actual sales are falling monthnto month, too.

I have a leased Mach E GT for a daily and I’ll never to back to ICE for an everyday car. I have a GT350 as well so I get my fix for a manual and glorious V8 sounds.

Did you read the article, though? Tesla’s actual sales numbers are going down while those of most of other EV manufacturers are going up. It’s not a case of “a smaller piece of a bigger pie,” it’s just less, period.

That misses the point of this article though. A lot of publications seem to be running stories or editorials talking about the collapse of EV sales and how everyone pushed too early and blah blah blah. These articles focus solely on the total numbers - which is understandable. But when the collapse in EV sales is just…

we bought one... we arent toyota people, but with the closeouts and toyota trying to dump them, it was absolutely the cheapest new EV we could get our hands on... and for that it was worth it.

I see this as an absolute win.

Look you may not be able to afford one, and I certainly can’t and unless I win the lottery will NEVER be able to afford one lol, but say what you will about the car, I would argue there is NO automaker anywhere in the world creating the innovations Christian Von Koenigsegg is. Free Valve, The Light Speed Transmission,…

I’ve never gotten that, “EV’s can’t be heard”. If a car is going fast enough for a pedestrian collision to, we’ll say, end poorly, you’re hearing tire noise more than engine noise unless the car is a performance car. EVs still make plenty of tire noise.
