The Equinox EV starts at $33.6k. Again, stop.

Well, the Equinox is ONLY $5-10K too expensive at MSRP, so you’re right about that. But leasing one is cheaper than I thought (sub $300/mo. w $2,500 down). And you’re right about it: it does look pretty nice and seems reasonable/practical too. I keep watching Logan’s review of one from the other day (still looking for…

Looks are subjective. The Equinox EV looks great, has plenty of technology, and comes in well below $66k. Same for the Blazer EV. Hell you can even get Lyriqs below $66k.

I doubt many of them are smug. They have their own worries around getting a charge somewhere. A full charge in most EVs might get you to GA, assuming you don’t run the A/C. But the problem is the part of GA where you’re going to be stopping for a charge is also experiencing flooding.

All the smug electric car owners are starting out this emergency with a full battery. As long as they have a long range car they are golden. Short range car?  You gonna die.

$10 would be 18kwh, so enough for maybe 72 miles of range, HEAVILY depending on car and conditions. To put it another way, 72 miles of range is maybe 2.5 gallons of gas worth of range for a typical crossover suv. 2 gallons of gas for a compact car. And like 1.5 gallons of gas for a hybrid sedan.
So this is MORE…

Public charging is either free (sponsored by a retailer/employer), or almost as much as gasoline/mile. In Colorado the going fast-charger rate is about $0.65/kwH - which is between 5-6X my rate at home.

At 3miles/kwH, that’s about $0.20/mile.
Compared to gasoline at $3.50/gallon / 20 miles/gallon = $0.175 miles/gallon.

I…

“you can see that a customer was charged $0.56 per kWh. That might not sit well with some as charging prices in parts of Southern California has been something many have been complaining about recently as some feel they’re too high.”

1st Gear: Tesla Kills Its Cheapest Car

Draw a Venn digram of all those things — comfort, safety, FWD, mature, under $15K, reasonable maintenance, Colorado-climate friendly, good road-tripper — and you’ll see this baby right dead set in the middle:

You can get a Chrysler, a Toyota, a Honda, or a Kia. That’s it. That’s all that’s left. Is this the world you want to live in?

If I saw this I’d flick a cigarette at them.

Apparently you haven’t faced constant exposure to the endless noise from various far-right lunatics about how seed oils are causing transgenderism, all of our heart problems, and turning our nation of manly men into soyboy cucks.

I think he’s more of a sea anemone. Capable of receiving and reacting to outside stimulus, but not capable of any real executive functionality that would allow him to decide what sort of response to give to a particular stimulus.

It was replaced by the USMCA, which is basically the same as NAFTA except Trump could take credit for it.

NAFTA was replaced by USMCA, which I referenced in the third paragraph.

I had the head of a big beautiful American corporation come up to me. Big guy, strong guy. He came up to me with tears in his eyes and he said Sir, sir we’re getting beat by the Chinese. Chinese tractors and combines are being built by Mexicans in Venezuela and being used to ship migrants over the border. So we’re…

Bradley, I know the Herb doesn’t give hazard pay for psychic damage, but I will bet a tasty beverage that he actually said something more like “and uh [unintelligible] 100 200 percent because *grunt* Mexicans the women, y’know women love me an’ [looks around] John Deere! Great American company beautiful tractors…

So, what exactly do we think is physically happening inside his skull, where the rest of us have a brain?
