I used to take the train. There’s a commuter rail about a 15 minute drive from my house that would then be an hour train ride into Manhattan and another 15 minute subway ride to my office. But since we’re in the middle of a pandemic I don’t feel safe getting on a train full of people, many of whom are unmasked, for…

I... don’t have any problems with 100 amp service? 20 amps of that is dedicated to central air conditioning and 20 amps to an exterior outlet that were both installed in the 90's; the rest of the house is still on the 60 amps that were originally installed in the house in 1960. Never had any issues. It’s not a…

There is a Tesla Supercharging location about 8 miles from my house; and an Electrify America location about 4 miles from my house. I work in lower Manhattan; parking with electric charging available is non-existent here since parking spots themselves are so scarce.

I drive a Mustang GT, which is comfortable and fun to drive, but certainly not cheap. Most of my commute is through NYC, so an electric car would be great mileage wise, since I can see single- digit gas mileage in typical stop and go traffic where it takes 2 hours to go 10 miles through Queens. 

My house was built in 1960 with a 60 amp panel. In the 90's, the previous owner upgraded that to a 100 amp panel when they installed central air conditioning. But 100 amps isn’t enough to install a level 2 charger with, so I’d need to install a new panel (and run high voltage cable from my basement, up to the attic,…

...OK? That doesn't make my commute any shorter. 

I can trickle charge on 10 amps / 120v at home. Installing anything more serious requires rewiring my whole house and getting permits from the town - a whole process that I’m not quite ready for. My commute is 50 miles each way, and the garage I park in does not have chargers. So charging means finding a charging…

On average, in the summertime, my house uses about 61 kWH / day in the summer time, and about 15 kWH / day in the winter (air conditioning is rough). So a typical EV battery would be able to power my entire house from 1-several days in the event of a power outage. Seems like a great idea.

A lot of people I know have (gasoline powered) summer cars and winter cars, and just disconnect the battery off-season... don’t know if that would fly with EV’s.

I wonder about the longevity of solid state batteries. Lithium Ion batteries don’t really hold up for very long - if you left a lithium-ion powered car untouched in a barn for ten years where it gets down to 40 below zero in the winter and up to over 100 in the summer, the battery would be all but useless by the end…

Because Mitsubishi Mirages sell so well. 

In 2021 I bought an off-lease 2018 RX350, fully loaded, for $32k for my wife. By far the best car value I've ever purchased. 

Why buy a Sequoia?

Starts at $58k, goes up from there.

I’m sure these are fun and all, but I can’t get over how much better looking my 2015 GT is, inside and out. It’s 65 hp down on this, and doesn’t have the trick suspension or exhaust, but it’s more than enough for anything I’d ever want to put it through, and I’m happy with it. Something tells me that the S550s are…

2015 Mustang GT, long since paid off

That was in response to a comment that alleged that my wife was a blood relative. Also, why would a socialist not drive a Mustang? It’s a UAW made automobile; I would only ever buy myself a union-made car.

Plenty of baseball and basketball and soccer players get paid tens of millions of dollars a year to play a childrens’ game.

Incorrect. My grandfather worked as a street mechanic in Maspeth during the Depression and taught me how to work on cars from when I was a little kid; I’ve always been passionate about automobiles and always loved nothing more than just getting in my car and driving. Before I got married I used to spend a lot of…

I have, many times, but we’re not talking about Mumbai here. The article is about Kalamazoo, Michigan.
