My commute is 50 miles each way. I have a 120v outlet in my garage, which is on a 10 amp breaker that’s shared with my living room, dining room, and basement family room / guest bedroom / bathroom. There’s just no way that charging a car on it would be feasible.

I have a 60 amp panel, so I would need a new panel and a new trunk line from the main electrical line at the street, because mine is original to the house (built in 1960) and simply not designed for the type of draw a stage 2 charger would take. On top of that, the panel is located in the basement on the exact…

My commute is 100 miles a day, 50 miles each way, so I would definitely need more charging than just the 10 amp, 120 volt outlet in my garage. The nearest public charger to me is about 5 or 6 miles away - for whatever reason, Long Island has been slow to adopt public chargers for a place with so many people.

Hadn’t heard of that; it looks like interesting technology. 

My current car I bought new and will have daily driven for 12 years when I buy a car to replace it. Do you really think that gas stations will still exist 12 years from now?

I don’t know that it’s necessarily financially beneficial to buy an EV. The prices / kWh I’ve seen on charging stations near me are around $0.43, which works out to roughly $0.14 per mile for most EV’s, which is the equivalent of paying $3.50 for gas for a car that gets 25 mpg. Maybe that’s different if you can charge…

I would buy this car if it came in full EV form. I’m not buying any more cars with an internal combustion engine, PHEV or no.

I’ve owned some objectively awesome cars — 1968 Dodge Charger R/T; 1991 Mercedes SEL560; 2011 Porsche Cayman; my current 2015 Mustang GT — but none of them give me the “man I wish I still had that” feelings I have for my old 1994 Ford Taurus wagon. It had wonderfully comfortable mouse fur seats; had the rear-facing…

Don’t get me wrong; I love EV's. My next purchase will be an EV. It's just Tesla in particular makes garbage cars under orders from their garbage owner.

...sigh.

But then you’re visibly showing your support of Elon Musk, one of the absolute worst people alive.

Imagine a real auto enthusiast like Leno owning some garbage Tesla

Needs some work, but capable 4x4's have gotten crazy expensive during the current offroading craze, so for the right person willing to put in the work it’s NP. Not for me, of course.

I know somebody who daily drives a Dodge Shadow convertible. Weird dude.

Chrysler Aspen Hybrid should be the answer for everyone — I believe fewer than 100 were made. It was Chrysler’s first ever production hybrid, but it (and the Durango hybrid platform mate) were only in production for 2 months before the plant was shut down as part of the financial crisis in 2009.

Not as concerned about his tweeting that people vote Republican as the fact that he’s summarily dismissed everyone in charge in privacy protections at Twitter while Tesla literally keeps videos of everywhere any one of its cars go.

There’s literally a longform article about his mismanagement of the company on the front page of the New York Times right now. Even if people don’t care about Twitter, Musk’s phenomally bad mismanagement of it is certainly noteworthy.

The target market for Teslas is upper-middle-class to wealthy, left-of-center people who are concerned about the environment. I wonder what that type of consumer thinks about the way Musk has been running Twitter?

How much power can that battery possibly hold after 20 years? You’re just running a 70 hp gasoline motor since the battery holds less charge than my cell phone. ND.
