Stop buying shit knockoffs and garbage products? I buy a bunch of electronics and motors and etc off of aliexpress for way cheaper than OEM prices here and have nothing but good products...

Honestly, at this point, even if the Seagull is priced at $20k for the 38 kwh extended range one with 250 mile range, would still make for a better commuter vehicle than any of the EVs here other than used ones...

I mean... You don’t even need to add that to the cost of using cars. Insurance is just going to add that to everyone’s car/home/building/commercial building insurance.

I mean... it’s only a issue because the western developed countries consume so much...

Man... That’s because none of the manufacturers or 3rd party charging companies in NA even tried to build out their own extensive network.

The standard isn’t under their control anymore. but the vast majority of NACS is operated under Tesla and you still have to work with them to connect to their chargers. Hence the complaints about not having anyone to contact at Tesla from other manufacturers.

The problem in the first place was adopting NACS.

They weigh about the same as a penny/dime... Getting hit by one of those at 70 mph doesn’t seem fun either.

Wax, more wax, and even more wax. like 3-4 layers of wax should be enough.

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....
