“it might be the worst time in history to be in the market for a small, fuel-efficient car.”

Used Chevy Volt.  I picked up a low mileage lease return 2018 CPO'd for $20k out the door not too long ago.

Did I miss something, or wasn’t Ford’s first EV the Focus Electric?

How about the Subaru Crosstrek PHEV? with the $4500 federal rebate it’s uncer $35k.  That satisfies her requirement of a small, AWD fuel efficient car.

The situation in Xinjiang is infuriating. One of the worst instances of cultural genocide since WW2. And the CCP simply lies about it despite clear satellite imagery and eyewitness accounts backing it all up.

Plug the Leaf in every night in the garage. Solar panels on the roof and we are about $300 ahead Production versus usage

My Polestar 2 Single Motor was 48K after incentives, no mark up, and has 280 miles of range. Give it a look!

My ‘15 LEAF has me feeling pretty good (dare I say even a bit smug?) about this latest hike, like it did with the shortages not too long ago as well.

But technically, no, the Tesla Autopilot system does not “require” you to be constantly vigilant. It will continue to blast you down the highway if you’re only half paying attention

The thing is “Democrat who doesn’t support single-payer healthcare and student loan forgiveness” and “Republican who commits borderline treason and wants to create a fascist dictatorship in America” is a huge difference you can’t dismiss with Both Sides are Bad.

Yes, yes I am.

When situations like this develop, it’s frequently better to early terminate a business partnership, than it is to try to save it. We are at the beginning of Putin’s New Iron Curtain. This is how he wants it. Since not enough Russians are willing to disempower this one old man’s impotent rage at the progress of…

Been driving the Leaf a lot lately. It has 27K miles on it in 18 months. With our Solar Array and using as a comparison a 30 MPG vehicle we still make about $300 per year on electric bill

Hopefully the higher gas prices mean the end of gas powered blowers!

I have a complete tiny violin section for you!

My favorite conspiracy theory is the one by which Biden is forcing prices higher because he shut down the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline - you know, the pipeline that was never in operation, that was to deliver refining intensive petroleum that would have raised production costs anyway, and then mostly for chemical…

Suck it up. It’s the price we have to pay right now.

Man, it must suck not getting 49 mpg.

I flew yesterday with my daughter who just passed the mask threshold, it was... not pleasant trying to keep her masked. Luckily no one hassled us. I’ll be happy if the FAA rules are relaxed for small children and the vaccinated.

For me, it’s more important to not deal with shit heads. Hurting Putin is a potential side benefit.
