Yeah, its not a mountain of work to plug in every time, but for that cost I am not running out the door to get one.  Very ready to never step foot in a gas station again though!  Good to hear that this drives nicely.  Not something I hear often about Jeeps.

I am sometimes forgetful, my wife is sometimes forgetful... To remember to do every time you get out of the car is more work than I want to do for a car that costs 30k. Like I said, for half that cost, I would make it work.

Agreed

If I’m honest, 20 miles on a battery and the ability to charge from home with solar, it could do 80% of what I would need it to do. But all that work to charge it every single time I come home... It is just not worth it to me for that kind of cash.  If it was handed to me, or say it was 15k, yeah, I’d make it work.

Dont get me wrong at all, it sounds like a blast.  I love HP but I also feel like access to it has gotten to easy.  Not that it will ever be restricted, nor do I think that is something we should be wasting any resources on.

300 for a small-ish car?  That seems nuts to me.  I have just short of 300 in my Telluride and that feels like a lot more than needed.  I only say this because way too many people are out there abusing the power.

My Escape Hybrid has about 170hp and has done me fine, but really isnt enough.  My Telluride has just shy of 300 and I would say that is definitely enough and we rarely use Sport Mode, almost always Eco.

That Laforza looks like a 20 years later Gen2 Escape.

Bob Barker died a year ago at 99.  As close as he could get to a dollar without going over.  RIP.

Rocket ships? Kinda.

The ignorance from Ray. Cant imagine a “blue guy” driving a Scout? Open your eyes, guy, and try to actually view the world around you.

My parents live about 70 miles round trip. I would be comfortable doing that but only since we’d have a charger at home.  Either way, that seems to be the call right there unless you have a PHEV.

VW escaped DieselGate, which I am still surprised they got out alive.  I am sure they will handle this too.  Especially with the billions they just dropped on Rivian.

Its funny that the one you provided is for sale at a Nissan dealership with 2.1 stars.  I shudder to think about how this whole transaction went down.  Who is trading their Lucid in for a Nissan?  Or did they get it at an auction?  I have questions! Haha

Second one looks like Bob Barker

It sucks, but you are correct.  I grew up vacationing in St. Petes Beach and I want to take my kids there but ain’t no way, ain’t no how.

Totally agreed.  At distance it looks horrible.  Close up seeing the details, I didnt hate it nearly as much.  Certainly a few tweaks would have improved it greatly.

“NACS Port” means next to nothing to many, but Tesla or SuperCharger Port and people will realize instantly. I am no fan of Elon or Tesla, but their charging network is truly a game changer for EV drivers that have access.

My dad has the 2024 and absolutely loves it.

Are they cheaper somewhere? Cars.com has 4 available within 200 miles of me in San Diego. The cheapest was 61k while the next was 75k and the rest well into the 90ks.
