Nope just means you have more than 2 brain cells. the only vehicle that screams political affiliation to me IMO is the Bro Dozer. Some people might bring up the Cybertruck, but unless it IS you entire personality, it just screams LOOK AT ME rather than I vote left or right.

God no, look Amazon treat it’s workers like shit, but at least they generally get stuff to you on time, unlike the USPS.

Of course they are, while getting the recall fixed is free, in my prior car I tried I think 3 or 4 times to get it done, and they never had the stock at the dealer. Or they had one of the two in stock but would only do them both at the same time.

Fair enough, I mean I can’t shit on anyone for using Amazon considering I have had prime for YEARS, though I haven’t ordered anything off Amazon in a while. Last thing I got was a set of MMCX IEM cables, ordered one they sent me 2, got one then next day another lol.

“Thanks for the daily reminder of how much Amazon sucks and U should avoid buying anything from it at all costs.”

New construction yes, existing construction no. But you are assuming the business itself would be running the EV charging location, they don’t work like that they are run be a separate company the business merely provides the space and pays to install the unit. After that the maintenance/upkeep/billing is handled by a…

Oh that have tons of them for older cars with infotainment screens, it’s just that finding them for newer cars where essentially everything is controlled in a screen is a lot more difficult to make in the aftermarket.  It’s not impossible but the more basic car functions the screen is required to control the harder it…

That’s why I have advocated for requiring EV chargers being installed in the same way handicapped parking spots are required. Basically copy and paste those regulations/rules from whatever state/town you are in and just remove the location requirement, most places require they be x feet from the entrance, and you…

Yeah I mean who would drive 500 miles straight, and this is coming from someone who averages 8+ hours a day of driving if I am road tripping. Like I did Colorado Springs to my house straight and that was 13+ hours.  All 500 miles in an EV means is more battery, meaning heavier, and longer charging when you do drain it.

a DEEP cavity search I want them tickling your tonsils from behind LOL

But that is typically for cars that only had navigation, audio and backup camera functionality. Not integration of things like AC, seat controls, among other vehicle functions. The more stuff is controlled inside the screen exclusively the hard it is to make an aftermarket unit. Would it technically be possible,…

Sure 500 miles range is nice, but it’s not really needed, give us 300 miles real world range in say 90% of conditions, except towing, and you are fine, since that’s what the vast majority of ICE vehicles will average.

This is exactly WHY current vehicles will likely never be collectable in the future, save some super small run exotics. When everything is controlled via the screen once it shits the bed and there aren’t aftermarket ones, the vehicle is essentially a brick. Doing aftermarket for audio, backup camera and navigation is…

100% this, especially in the south. You find a tiny, kind of shitty looking, gas station in some small town that has food, I don’t mean like roller grill stuff or heat and eat Deli Express stuff, but like actual food, it’s probably better than any food you have had at any of the big chain stores known for food. And if…

“Another reason is that for many their electricity prices are sky high”

But at the price of one of the major EV’s home charging shouldn’t really be an issue, unless you live in an apartment/rent, which to be fair a lot of people do.  But heck even if you rent I would assume a lot of landlords would be ok with installing a charger, assuming you don’t take it with you.  That’s a potential…

Well I have never been there, but there ARE some tiny specs of a town that I would assume have a gas station, EV Charging not so much. The actual drive according to Google Maps, is just shy of 500 miles, Fairbanks to Prudhoe.  

Well considering there don’t appear to be any EV charging locations between Fairbanks and Prudhoe Bay, which is 350+ miles as the crow flies, I suspect the odds are HIGH, like Snoop Dogg high

Obviously, I mean it’s got the chain RIGHT THERE lol.

Counter point just redneck engineer a chainsaw motor onto a bike and make  a real chainsaw powered bike.
