I think he’s looking for $15,000 total, not 9 payments of $15,000. :P.

VW’s are not known for their reliability. But this is probably the WORST era and though it has low miles, I knew SO MANY people with VWs from this era that had some of the most atrocious issues with the things at less miles than this one. And that was back when these were brand-new. ND- even if free.

Lol this is America, where the former president had lunch with a known white supremacist. 

Why wait a few years? A Chevy Bolt is half the price of a Tesla. I love mine, just wish it charged faster.

“Racially insensitive.” No, that is a hell of a lot more than insensitive, that’s the whole kit and caboodle of straight up fuck-you level racism.

The amount of energy and effort of some people to go to in order to be a flaming asshole never ceases to amaze me. Furthermore, the name of this person should be released to the public so that nobody will ever hire that shithead

You are correct. There is a very slim weight penalty between say a 250hp and 500hp electric motor. The 500hp motor isn’t any less efficient when putting around town than the 250hp motor either. Nor is there much of a cost delta between the two. So if you have a big battery to support 300+ miles of range then you have…

There’s an article out there about this somewhere. EVs are in a HP war partly because it’s not a massive deal to add more power. The limitation is generally current flow rather than the motor itself. The way to get more current is to add more cells, which you need to get decent range anyway, so getting more power is…

“Good morning, Tesla. Take me to Mars.”

bro, the name of the website is literally at the top and in the link you posted, how did you spell it wrong?

Hitting-and-running from a vehicular homicide is not “letting traffic violations go”, but you probably get that trollup.

Well today I learned that peleton is a real word.

Fuck you for a thousand years. 

I know you have to do what’s right for you but it bums me out each time I see this. It means that means there are fewer riders on the roads and drivers will just be less used to seeing us and they will be more entitled to the road that they, and they alone, own.

Just an assumption here, for the other drivers in the past that got leeway, I am assuming they were all white? I have not looked into it, but this driver appears to not be white by his name, so that is probably why they were quick with charges that actually match the crime.

You do realize GW was the smarter of the two sons, no?

The fears are unfounded. Your colleague ran an article about a grid lock situation where cars got stuck for hours and the EV fared a lot better than gas cars that ran out of gas of the idling:

Yea, I have a bit of an inside line here, but I don’t want to get into the price side of things due to my job. If supply starts to outpace demand, I am a buyer, until that happens, I am on the sideline. Plus, this would be a third car so no real need on my end, just more of a want.

Not that this is pertinent to the article, while one can debate the usefulness of driving aids in everyday driving, this is one situation where I think that it wouldn’t even be debatable. Put on ALL the driving aids as you crawl along at 15 mph stop-start emergency evacuation speed.

I’m not sure what he’s worried about. I would assume most EVs would have close to 200 miles of distance on them in the case of emergency evacuation and maybe up to 300-400 miles. If that isn’t enough distance to get you out of an emergency range, you’ve got some real problems. I live in Florida and the biggest issue…
