Come on man. Capitalism doesn’t give a shit about where the parts come from. That’s a bad fucking faith argument to start with when literally everything you can buy now has pretty much stuff made from basically forced labor/slave labor (pretty much all of SEA and African manufactured components, and all the prison…

Put some slick drag tires on the lucid with slightly skinny fronts (I’m assuming that lucid has bigger motors in the back and smaller motors in the front) and we’ll see how much faster it goes lol.

Racing any kind of dumb vehicle is great racing.

The issue is that there’s so few of these vehicles and they’re all such highly built with significant differences in max tolerances, regulations doesn’t exist for them... And there’s also already ratings for submersibles capable of reaching various depths. Titan was not one of them for reaching the titanic depth.

I feel like it would have ended up the same way regardless of how cops approached it.

That’s every area? Shops chains (or even smaller ones with like 2-5 shops) like Mark’s japanese european auto repair in the seattle area or etc are fucking terrible ass shops...

good Indie shops are a drop in the bucket compared to all the shit holes out there.

10 years isn’t jack shit... the average car in the US is 12+ years now and there’s a lot over 15+ years....

Dealerships and parts manufacturers profit more from major repairs than a few extra maintenance appointments.

That’s why you buy the V8 lol.

Honestly, the engines and other parts themselves are relatively good as long as you keep up with maintenance and not follow the absolutely bullshit factory maintenance....

You can’t, it’s not two empty cylinders lol. They just physically cast out the 2 blocks at the end.

Ok, this one is obviously a scam since even rebuilt titles aren’t this cheap for the most part.

Except it isn’t?

I average around 60 miles a day (22500 miles/12 months). But that’s including weekend long trips too. I probably average around 40 miles a day. That’s less than 20-25% battery... Hardly anything that’s pushing the battery at all in terms of range or recharge needs... I literally set my battery limit to 80% to preserve…

I’ll bite.

After living with my Kona EV with SLOW (70kw peak but averages more around 40-50 kw) DC fast charging and also a mediocre range (from 220-300 miles a charge) for a year and put 23k miles on it in the said year...

That’s definitely one of the reasons, but the other reason is probably that their cars are now 6+ years old and fucking old now interior or exterior wise.

That’s the playbook for almost every single EV.

As a add on since I can’t edit anymore, not in favor of the CCP, but they did a hella lot better in the last 30 years than what a capitalist system would have done with the boom and bust cycles, especially with the rapid development rate of the country...
