I make too much money to qualify for any of the tax credits and I can’t afford a $63k EV. I really wonder how impactful any of this is.

The F-35 has been in development since, at the latest, November of 1996, when the contract for the Joint Strike Fighter development program was entered into. That’s over 26 years. If you haven’t been able to get your flagship STOVL system working in over a quarter of a century, you’ve got bigger problems than just…

Actually, since March 2020 never ended, we’re only in the first quarter of the first year of the 2020's.

I always turn WiFi off when I leave the house. I don't see a need to shut the phone off entirely, so long as I keep it in an RFID blocking case while I'm out and about. 

Everybody that buys these turns them into conversion vans with plush velvet seating and window curtains and etc., so the interior doesn’t need to be up to snuff, but it’s really silly how outdated the exterior looks  until you do your own painting or vinyl wrap on them.

Oh, I always keep the GPS, mobile data, and mobile voice connections on my phone turned off whenever I’m out of my house/office, so there’s nobody tracking my location via my phone’s location, so I wouldn’t be able to use a non-OEM map system regardless.

I have only driven one car with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay: a Chrysler Pacifica rental I had in New Orleans in 2019, and for the 3 days I had it I couldn’t figure out how to make it work so I never ended up connecting my phone to it. Is it useful in any way? 

I tend to agree that having giant screens with all kinds of information on them is a bad idea that’s going to get regulated out of existence, but the big problem is not being able to adjust basic controls by touch. This is the interior on my Mustang. See the seat heater buttons on both sides, with the “heat” button…

This is the reason I feel bad that Ford stopped making the Panther platform cars.

Close! Only off by 24 years.

Awful back seats? Have you sat in any Lexus recently? Except I guess the UX.

I defy you to determine (without a reverse image search for the source) what model year this Chevrolet Express is:

I’ve been debating getting something more efficient so I can stop using my 8 year old Mustang GT with 90k miles on it as a daily driver/ long distance commuter, but the math just does not work with interests rates where they are.

Man, that must have been the most awkward conversation possible while waiting for the rescuers to come. “Uh, sorry... everybody... that was an... accident?” “Dammit Steve, you can’t even get a triple murder/suicide right! You fail at everything you try!”

You can get a used Leaf for less money than comparable home-based batteries for solar collection, so I wouldn’t think it really makes any difference.

Why not just use a regular snow drivel to shovel snow off the roof? That's what I do when it's too deep to get off with a snow brush

Or he could just fly commercial.

I was about to say NP just because of how the market is for running cars these days, and this one is spacious and adequately powerful and should be fine to give to a kid to take to college, until I saw the cylinder deactivation thing. I forgot that had those this model year; those systems are WILDLY unreliable on…

Buy it. Make it look like a real Quattro. Pretend it is. Go to Cars and Coffee and keep the hood closed.

The best “deals” I’ve seen on EV’s are dealers that are dropping their $15k markup down to $10k:
