Your local pedantic commenter:

Stared for correct use of the term current, “amperage” makes my skin crawl and the word appears nowhere in the two volume Shorter Oxford English Dictionary (approx 1990 edition).

Most reasonably competent DIYers can handle it. Every serious diy person probably already have at least one 50a 240v garage outlet for a welder. My garage has 100 amp service for welder, compressor, and plasma table that are all 240v. But I could pretty easily wire up a new one. 

I definitely think it’s electrically inclined folks being more interested in EVs from the start. I jumped on a lease for the Nissan Leaf and installed my own charging station once I ran the numbers. Every time I suggest to friends/family that an EV would be a good choice for them, I always feel resistance unless they…

I mean, ok, but it still depends on how often you’re actually doing these things. $100/day gets you 100 days of traveling before you hit $10k. And that ignores the other costs of actually owning a car, like parking (in NYC, that’s probably 4/5 days worth of renting a month, minimum), insurance (which is much more…

You guys have missed a very important fact: Parking a car in NYC is eye-wateringly expensive.

It’s not really about the car and it’s capabilities as it is about the type of people that have them

The test drive is the only thing I need a dealer for.

I 100% agree with your assessment, but when I sold cars, I found that only about 10% of people were like us (if that). Most had very little car knowledge, and needed a lot of hand holding before choosing a vehicle. Even if they knew they wanted a Sierra, I would have to walk them through trims levels, engine options,…

Agree, I was pleasantly surprised by the experience provided by Genesis when I test drove one. Booked online, came to my door, 30min test drive and quote online exchanged by email. No BS, no time waisted.

I think the same cycle can be applied to a lot of motorcycle ownership cases

I love that colour scheme, why is yellow so hated?

SGP = Some Guy’s Project, so nope, even though it looks professionally done, but he wants all his modding-money back, and that ain’t happening.

MFW Jalopnik misses the joke, then starts talking about stocks 😂

Bolivia just voted to become the next Venezuela.

the interesting thing for me is that the only reason tesla took off the way they did is because they invested into their charging network.  every other automaker just said “we build cars, charging ain’t our problem.”

Eh, there’s 7.5 billion people and a pandemic on.  A few tesla owners less isn’t a tragedy

I figure that whoever wrote that had a brother in law that owned a fence building company and they could pull the old get money from the .gov trick.

I’ve had the same thought as you on this, though I’m in the opposite boat in the sense that I’m in my late 20s and have zero interest in these cars. I think the market for them will disappear as older boomers age out and leave them to their kids, who want nothing to do with the cars and sell them for whatever the…

These are a ‘meh’ for me. Nice enough, but I can’t say I was ever a big fan of them.
