Yeah.... but there’s the whole you know.... slave labor being used in China to make things like car parts or entire cars. Or more recently, when officials in Brazil literally stepped in and saved a bunch of Chinese workers being used to build a BYD factory there. I don’t like Tesla or Elon. That’s why I bought a EV…

While they offer flexibility in packaging a series hybrid will *NEVER* be as efficient as a parallel hybrid in steady-state operation. In reality packaging/size/weight isn’t any different.

“Too early to jump to conclusions” and then immediately jumps to one helluva conclusion....

Incendiary speeches lead to incendiary events? Who would have guessed? 

Probably a very unpopular option, but I don’t know how much privacy you can expect to have in a motor vehicle. It is a licensed, registered, tagged, 2 ton piece of heavy machinery, operated almost exclusively on public infrastructure. It’s like Elon’s privet Jet on a smaller scale. If these thing are reporting GPS,…

Miata is the answer, a well setup Na with barely 90hp, manual steering no power brakes, still the most fun thing ive ever driven. Especially on winding country roads.

If she lives in NYC her car is going to be contact parked into oblivion. She should keep her money and her current shitbox. She should also seriously consider taking the train to Westchester. In theory it takes twice as long but traffic says otherwise.

Here’s a little secret about “adults”, they never really grow up themselves and still tend to act like Children or worse, but with more responsibilities =) And that is A-OK. Whoever tells you to grow up are mostly miserable, insufferable people themselves. Never grow up!

Thats the problem with a lot of these range extended BEV’s vs a traditional strong PHEV. The flow of power for a REX is something like ICE > Gearbox > Generator > Inverter/Switch > Battery (depending on design) > Electric motor > Gearbox > Wheels. Each one of those steps has its own inefficiencies and you need way…

Fundamental point also remains: we’ve been hearing how just the right “crop” for this is right around the power. 10 years ago I’m pretty sure I read the same article about some kind of algae in Spain.

Broke into his house while he was home, took his wallet and keys then stole his car. And the solution is to replace the car with something less flashy and hope the thieves ignore it?

Honda’s leather is garbage anyway. I wouldn’t option it if I was planning to keep it for a decade or whatever. Their cloth seats wear like iron.

They kind of have the same issue Nissan is having rn. The have the cheapest “luxury cars” right now and dealer will work to get you into them no matter your credit score.

Probably not helping is that it seems incredibly popular with dickheads.

That’s an easy answer. Because Stellantis isn’t dumb enough to sell the goose the lays the golden eggs.

It takes a while to figure out what new, innovative mistakes to make next, you know? And those golden parachutes don’t pack themselves.

I don’t think EV owners are smug about it, the point they just want to make is having an EV is not always necessarily a bad thing in an evacuation. This is just a reminder that even though gas can be refueled quickly, in a disaster scenario getting it is not always possible.

I mean, why not use both? Less traffic on the roads, less competition for dwindling fuel supplies, better all around.

100% agree. All the speculative explanations are unnecessary in the face of the facts: Nissan’s cars suck. They’ve been peddling crap for so long they clearly have no idea how not to. Old dated-tech crap at that. Consequences. Let’s not even get into Infiniti. Lipstick on a pig is a complement. Q, my ass.
