Use taxes are far more expensive for people in lower incomes, who often have to live farther away and don’t have time flexibility.

Or they’ll just rent them.  Housing is still in short supply in many markets.

I’d suspect because gas stations probably existed prior to dealerships being pervasive.

He’s showing us what a gift Howard Hughes’ hermitism was to society.

He’s literally just the energy guy...with money. He revs people up to do the work. And as noted, they ‘manage him’ to not get in the way of that work.

Just as likely in the reverse:

Body camera being “turned off” in a citizen interaction results in job termination in a lot of major police forces

Pretty safe to assume the cop’s body camera is turned OFF. And since they have been proven to delete evidence...

Converse, officer is doing illegal things with his personal cam turned off, the COPS can view the livestream and intervene to save ppl.

The question is why wouldn’t they have gotten it certified at *full* power knowing they were planning on this stupid subscription ‘boost’?

Yeah, I’m from Rochester, NY and the years I lived in Charleston I experienced winter conditions I’d never seen.

thx, I suspected as much but hope recharges eternally! haha

I can guarantee you the panels don’t cost $10K. The entire car is < $25K.

We had a pale yellow impala and a two tone blue caprice classic wagon.

the doors aren’t gonna really be a factor in the charging. Doubtful the a full door even produces 5% of the total solar charge.

Wonder if replacing them with a modern battery would fix those issues?

It’s literally free energy...on a car that costs thousands LESS than most other options.   So maybe 100 miles a week.   Compared to gas that’s a bargain.

Solar panels are just another issue. Even mild fender benders can total cars now...the cost and *liability* of re-certifying the safety systems/sensors gets expensive fast.

Black color will do wonders.   A dark interior would also help increase the thermal store to melt the exterior

The south has signs “Bridge freezes before road...hell freezes before bridge”
