for the most part is it is better to lease EVs than purchase them

Came here to say this. 70 on I-5 is dangerously slow. Average traffic speed is generally in the mid- to high-80s.
If you have a long daily commute and work until the age of retirement, you'll likely spend a few years of your life waiting at stoplights or in traffic
Actually, Harris Ranch is notable both for being the biggest rest stop on the route from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and also almost exactly halfway between them. In this case, I, a resident of California and occasional San Francisco-Los Angeles driver, agree with the way it was said. Maybe it could have been more…
Can you please explain to me how "I have a bomb" is a "flippant remark"? I may have missed something here.
Even then, "US electric" is not monolithic. The primary sources of electricity differ greatly by region. I'd love to see a map of electricity generation and electric vehicle ownership overlaid. I have a sneaking suspicion that the weighted averages would result in significantly less coal power going into electric cars.
Thank you. My family has been paying extra for carbon-neutral energy for as long as it's been an option here (12 years or so), and we don't even own an electric car yet. I would imagine the vast majority of Tesla owners do the same. Selection bias is real.

Did the EPA numbers have 8 significant figures? Hell, did they even have 5? Going to more decimal places than the original data had significance for is just noise and inherently incorrect. (I'd check but for some reason the EPA document won't open on my computer.)
A car so American, even the displacement is in imperial units!
Congratulations on making 7 spelling errors in your post versus just one in the headline. And that's not counting "Bruh".
10/10 would hoon.
Funny, I had exactly the same thing happen to my Toyota RAV4, on exactly the same two doors. Unforuntately, each one cost, uh... ２００ドル to 直す。 And that was just for parts. American dealerships...

It's a nice sentiment, but unfortunately this attitude is what impedes progress. Oil and natural gas are cheap because the infrastructure is there. Nobody wants to make the investment for clean energy because the short-term ROI is too low, but in the long term, it will be cheaper. The amount of sunlight that hits the…
Two reasons: 1) hydrogen is much more energy-dense than batteries, so less size/weight for the tank; 2) because it's still combustion, you can run it like a gasoline engine with all the benefits for both public perception and nostalgia that entails.
This doesn't match my experience. I negotiated online before going in, printed the quote from the email, brought it to the same guy who made it, he denied ever making it, ended up in a back-and-forth for almost an hour before he agreed that we agreed on that price, then was made to wait over 3 hours to speak to the…
It's funny you mention this. I was in the market for a used Mazda3 at the start of this year, and found the same thing. All the used cars were listed around 18k and nobody would budge. The new ones were higher but negotiating down to almost the same price was trivial. I wasn't going to take a 3-year-old car with 30k…
300MB is about right for an album compressed with FLAC. 700MB would be uncompressed (WAV).
