Too many drivers at unsafe speed when towing. Way too fast.

At some point we may have to re-evaluate just how fast we should be driving, too. I have a camper that doesn’t like to go much over 60 mph, and I have to say, it doesn’t feel like I’m wasting much time by not going 75.

I like my Volt, but the fact is it’s a compromise. It’s a lousy, short-ranged EV because it has to drag around the ICE powertrain and has limited battery space. And it’s a lousy ICE car because it has a tiny engine and all that battery weight. I find the combination useful, but it’s not an ideal solution for any…

That is a horrible graph.

its almost like not every car fits every need.

This doesn’t sound right. 3 hours of charging to add <400 miles of range to a Model 3 LR?

Range isn’t so much of a problem, recharge rate is the problem.

THANK YOU FOR THIS. I cry a little inside everytime someone presents the Model 3 as an alternative to a Bolt. I drive a Bolt. If I could afford a Model 3 (or justify buying one) I would. Trust me, I really, really would. But out the door difference is about $15k - to me that’s not a justifiable price difference, and…

GM needs to drop the “chevy” name for it’s EV lineup. They all should be branded as “Bolt” and designated a model name under that. Chevy is a tarnished name, period.

Nobody  said they suck. He said that “superior battery management” is NOT the reason that 99% of Tesla buyers (or Apple buyers) purchase those products. It’s mostly driven by image, just like many other luxury products. There’s nothing wrong with that, just own it. 

You misspelled “cult-like following among tech-adjacent people who have an unhealthy obsession with one of the company’s founders and will blindly follow anything said company does even if it’s a transparently bad idea.”

If you think you’re “buying into the future” because you got a haphazardly-assembled sedan with an unfinished interior from a South African diamond mine heir, then I guess the hype worked.

We got hit in Northern California by a major series of very wet storms this week. Plus, 80 MPH winds in some of the mountain passes. Mammoth Mountain got 6 feet of new snow in the last couple of days. Shit like roads washing out happens in storms like this. No biggie and I wouldn’t live anywhere else.

To start, in modern America, a state with roughly 500,000 people should not have the same representation as a state with roughly 40,000,000. Think about the amount of influence that the average WY voter has over the Senate compared to that of the average CA voter. The Senate has always been used to protect the…

Yes I know that. OP is talking about the JD Power group and their awards, the post on the other hand is talking about the founder, JD Power III. I’m poking fun at the conflation.

“It’s now owned by a private equity firm.”

Gas tax is far too low and the primary cause for our shit infrastructure.

Gas Guzzler Tax for all cars 25 mpg combined and worse. Zero exceptions. 

What am I supposed to do with the fact that Joe Biden’s official presidential Twitter account only follows one celebrity, and that is Chrissy Teigen?

Not to undermine your very salient point but not trusting juggalos is still a solid policy.
