It’s easier to justify buying a large truck or SUV when inventory is high, gas is cheap, and interest rates are low. The question shoppers should be asking themselves is if they really need a larger vehicle, or if something smaller can do the job while saving them thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. Forbes…

The advice for shopping in the current market is the same as the advice for shopping in the before times. Buy what you can afford that meets your needs. Focusing on what things used to cost, or speculating on what they might cost in the future isn’t part of the equation.

I would prefer to buy a small car over a larger vehicle because it is easier to drive, less anxiety about parking the thing, better fuel economy, and the feeling that you are not wasting so much space in a smaller vehicle if you are driving by yourself or one passenger 99 percent of the time. 

Pro: lower cost, possibly buy it outright.
Con: higher unexpected maintenance costs.

Car payments for a vehicle under warranty are predictable and considered more safe, financially speaking, than a cheaper car that may have a power-steering pump fail unexpectedly or some other expensive to replace part. Basically,…

I’m sure this won’t be a popular idea on Jalopnik, but a better long term solution is to push for your town to build better public transit and protected bike paths. I love driving. I pretty much won’t buy a vehicle without a stickshift because I love climbing through the gears and hitting that sweet rev-matched…

I feel like in this market, if you’re price sensitive, you’re only shopping because you NEED a car. Like your old one is dead. If that’s the case and you’re not able to afford the 2022 CRV of your dreams, why not buy the 2012 CRV of your “lets just get a car that works for right now” reality or some other Cash car…

You’re conveniently ignoring the fact the cops arrived soley to prevent the man from doing self-harm and he instead ends up dead.

Getting shit done in a private session is a welcome change. 

Might have been interesting to include the legacy logos

Post offices are large commercial buildings that suck down some serious amperage to keep air conditioned. Turn off half or so of the AC systems at night (when it likely isn’t needed) and switch that power supply to a pile of Level 2 chargers. Charging your vehicles in 10 hours is perfectly fine in this case.

This all sounds too much like a GTA5 side mission:

If anything, this should be the easiest damn thing to plan out for electric vehicles....

Their graphic designer is laughing all the way to the bank after creating such a profound logo........

You don’t get more range by reducing available hp on EVs. Electric motors don’t work like engines. You can get marginally more range in 2WD than AWD due to less friction from fewer moving parts, so in that way reducing total hp does improve range by simply removing extra motors. Simply decreasing power in the motors…

you are not going to get that much range difference with a lower hp motor. just look at the range difference between the 300 hp models and the 557 hp trim, only 30 miles of range difference.

These are the things that grumpy old man me hate. Don’t complicate things that don’t need complications. I get it, EVs are supposed to be new, cool, and futuristic, but damn, we don’t need power openers for every port and door possible hahaha.

the Estate is the only one of these I’d touch with a ten foot pole.

“Power-opening charge port door.”

Thats cool and all that it has nearly 600 HP.. But when can we get normal levels of power. No one needs that much power. 

As soon as I saw the pic, I was like “THIS BETTER MENTION THE DUAL REAL WIPERS” and bam, first sentence.
