It’s not just the press.  Automakers LOVE these stupid screens because they can cheap out on the dash area.  No longer have to design the layout and knobs/buttons and what not.  Just stick everything in a screen and be done with it.

Right it’s like you go in give a little squeeze maybe a pat on the back and you’re done. Like anything longer than that feels really awkward

Or best if your sick lol.

I’m fine with this.  Honestly you should be getting your goodbyes out of the way on the drive, then one final quick hug and send off when you get TO the airport.

I am pretty sure all used car sales are “as-is” unless you explicitly give some kind of warranty, either verbally or written.

Sure they can “make it work” but that’s not really what people want, they want the Apple approach of it just works. IMO if you are replacing your only vehicle, you want what amounts to a 1 to 1 replacement in terms of usability. I 100% could make a 100 mile range EV work, pretty easily in fact other than I can’t…

Fair enough, and your right, but I think if you can get about 300 miles a charge from whatever point the battery charging super slow, so like what 80% or 90% from full, it would make most people happy.

LOL poor guy, thankfully I was blessed with a robust constitution. So something like that almost never happens to me. Last time it did I think I was like 12 or 13, I am in my 40's now. And because I know your wondering, it was a Hostess Fruit Pie.

Maybe maybe not depends on how much you have to go OEM on or how much you can use “generic” parts for

that’s why I said 50 to 100 is plenty for most people without a huge commute. But the main point is that ICE vehicles have averaged around 300 miles a tank, I get just shy of that in my full size V8 sedan, for a long time, so the fact that no most people don’t need all that range, it’s become the expected range…

So you can get a car for Civic money, but have BMW maintenance costs, pass lol.

Need and want are 2 different things.  Realistically MOST people, unless you have a monster commute, could be perfectly fine with 50 to 100 mile range, and charging at home.  That said the real answer is what others have said already which is 300 miles/charge, which is roughly what an ICE car can get on a tank.  Most…

Oh come on now who doesn’t like gambling with a fart after some gas station taco, and losing LOL Nothing like a code brown for all the wrong reasons

That sucks, I wonder if COVID killed them. that said running a restaurant is and succeeding is VERY hard. Which his funny because we have SO many mexican joints around here and they tend to stick around forever.  We just had 2 places shut down a bbq place in down town and a pizza place where people RAVED about the…

Fair enough.  I think actual real food in gas stations, or gas station adjacent, has been a thing in the south for a long time.

Oh interesting. It depends on the chain down in the south, sometimes the franchisee is willing to let you do whatever, Raceway seemed to be like that. But then they just drop a food truck in the parking lot. And practically every single gas station in town has a food truck now lol. But I am also in Texas so like out…

Yeah that black front, umm mustache, makes the front end look odd, the new 12cylindri has the same design, and listening to Shmee talk about it, it seems like that is a design thing moving forward. I suspect they moved the ADAS sensors into that kind of bar, and made it black like that to hide the otherwise black…

Yeah no you got to go for the independent places. Though we had a taqueria in a Raceway gas station, a chain, and they were fucking LEGIT tacos. Like the parking lot was packed every single pump, parking spot, or open ground had a landscaping or construction truck. And like only 1 lady there spoke any English. The…

Precisely there is no such thing as cheap bbq ANYWHERE

1000% this, if you are in the south you can get better tacos in a gas station or food truck that just about ANY Mexican food place. And it’s easy to tell where the good ones are, just look for landscapers and construction workers packing the parking lot, then you know you found the spot. Also bonus points if speaking S…
