“one thing is clear. This is a big of a once-promising brand for the automotive industry.” This is the one thing that isn’t clear.

that’s a solid trade up.

“When it makes sense” for example I planned to keep my 2014 Kia Soul for a lot longer because “I don’t drive much and I want to wait until I can get a good price on a used electric car” but then I found a very good 2017 Chevy Bolt (less than 10K on the odo) and since the battery hasn’t been replaced yet I get a fresh…

That machete is a kukri.

No I don’t remember headlights being so bright even 10 years ago. Sure the occasional dude forgot to turn off their brights, but now its just the default car setting, or their just adjusted too high.

Meanwhile in America:

Even if you cut your Merc into pieces (this is your last resort) it’s still easily worth that much since it looks very solid in a lot of places.

If you want a weird, smaller city car, just buy an i3 for similar money. They you get an electric (or electric with range extender if optioned correctly) that is a nicer vehicle.

That and RV driving and trailer towing

Erik won’t get his $20k EV car

What will you do without your car telling you what year it is!?!?!

Who needs their car to tell them what year it is?

It is said that there are two hard problems in computer science: dates, naming things, and off by one errors.

I was wandering around a Northern Tool and saw a clearance battery weedeater that was $75. Decided to give it a go, and it actually rang up for $57 for some reason. Works better than the 4 stroke it replaced and weighs half as much. Slings a wider arc and uses thicker string and will last for about an hour, which is…

I thought the answer to everything EV was don’t live so far out in the middle of nowhere.
