Will people buy the Bolt? Well, plenty of people bought the Leaf and the Bolt seems like a pretty clear step up.

Jesus, Imagine what a Mclaren would cost with the apple tax. “It’s better because it’s got fruit on it”

True. I live in Minnesota. Close enough.

Well, You can erect large plastic-sheet-wall greenhouses rather cheaply, and growing in such a controlled environment has shown the potential to multiply yeilds. right now, I agree that the brute force approach of using large ...tracts of land (gestures appropriately)...makes more sense, but with the right GMO strains…

Yay postmodernism.

This is the funniest think Gawker media has put out since that whole “The cuck” blog thing a few weeks back.

Try not owning a car in a town of less than 100,000 people, and then tell me private car ownership is on deaths door.

$20 says he was trying to dislodge the wig on national TV.

Snowden should be tried, found guilty (he did break the law), and then immediately receive a presidential pardon.

Think of it like this. since even with a fast charger they need about 30 minutes to really top the thing off, They aren’t trying to outlast your bladder, but rather to match the endurance of your stomach.

Chevy Installs a single CCS Fast charger at every major dealer selling the Bolt and they immediately kill the Tesla Supercharger network advantage.

It doesn’t have the supercharger infrastructure, but it can fast charge with the CCS standard fast charger, of which there are slightly more installed in the US right now that superchargers (Though it was close and Tesla’s aggressive so thats subject to change). CCS is more open but less integrated, basically the old…

Whats this “Rebuilding trust” nonsense. They own you. Get used to it. Gawker got itself in this mess by being willfully ignorant of the openings it was leaving for it’s enemies. (and then acting like they’re the first news outlet to ever piss off a rich guy). Deal with it.

correction: 40 miles a day. not 4.

yeah. I mean it depends what you’re used to driving. In terms of looking back down the center, Ive generally found it to be as good as any hatchback, since it has that lower rear window, and the backup camera (is that standard? i dunno) helps a lot. to me it felt liek pretty much any other sloped hatchback rear window.

…

I’m neither. I dont have kids and by the time I have kids old enough to be out of car seats, itll be time to upgrade to a new Volt (The 2nd gen volts have much more conventionally sized rear seating areas. The only reason we’re talking about the Gen 1's is that they are so appallingly cheap on the used market right…

Adam Savage has easily my favorite TED Talk.of all time: “My Obsession with Objects and the Stories They Tell”

Yeah, it’s super busy and I hate that type of button (The whole, smooth flat surface that senses when you touch it but gives no physical feedback thing) is not great, but I still use it more than the touchscreen. Luckily I’ve found the “auto” HVAC works well, so pretty much the only thing I need to control in the…

You know, that is the one thing that concerns me about the Tesla is the gigantic touchscreen. I mean, I understand. the flexibility of the touchscreen is hard to beat, but I almost never use the touchscreen on the Volt, and I’m glad it has physical buttons you can use if you want because I don’t think I’d ever get the…

Same. I got my 2013 used with 20k miles for $17k. When a semi picked a fight with my matrix (not my fault) I was originally gonna get a used Prius, but for the mileage, a used volt was cheaper than a used Prius.
