The shame in this is that EVGA has the best customer service in the business, and while their cards weren’t necessarily the top performers, they were at the top for reliability.

Also.. EVGA is a small (280ish employees) privately owned company,  so they can make business decisions on a more personal level.  

Watch Steve’s video to understand all that’s going on.

Got bad news for you.. Nvidia is working to manipulate the market to get prices stabilized,  so they can charge $1500+ for the 40x0 series cards. (Check the Jay2Cents video about that.)

You miss my point.. the folks in Argentina still aren’t happy about it.

Name one colony that she created.  Go ahead.  I’ll wait. 

Yeah,  she sure sent out troops to conquer the world.  Unless you’re from Argentina, bugger off. 

Typical clickbait here..  not like the community actually helped him.  That might have made an interesting story.  

I’m gonna laugh like hell when in 2032 we get electric rationing, and if you’re got an even numbered plate, you’re only allowed to charge on Tues and Thurs, and so on...

It’s all about the number of people. If you might be routinely hauling 4+ people, then yes, minivan beats those awkward 3 row suv’s every time.

You mean 30-50% markups. 

You aren’t factoring in the dealer markups.  Say new Kia Sportage,  nice equipped price was $38k.  The markup on top of that was $16k.   A $42k Telluride had a dealer markup of $22k. 

The irony is that this is also as CA is pushing for denser urban housing.  Which for new building it’s fine, you can legistlate charging capability.. except, that hasn’t been done.  CA needs to get it’s act together, including upgrading the power grid with more nuke/solar/wind power. 

That’s in a lot better state than say here in LA.  Parking is just asphalt and paint..   :D 

That’s great in the next 30 years maybe..  or in high-income work spaces. But who’s gonna do that in the barrio? 

That just won’t happen with a lot of the current appts, especially in carports where it’s not practical or possible, especially in low income areas.  Shared parking is the core problem here, where there’s also plenty of option for abuse (stealing from your neighbor’s charger.. etc).

Yep.  It’s gonna be ugly.  INB4  people get shot during arguments over chargers. 

And yet CA is going to outlaw ICE.  Your Nissan Leaf is gonna cost $60k when that hits. 

Waiting to see the stories about the 80 unit apartment complexes that get 2 chargers for all the units to share. 

No one will be rolling in those blackouts...
