Yeah. No worries. You’re not wrong tho.

22 year old driver. there is speculation he may have fallen asleep at the wheel too. but motives are still unclear.

i can maybe sorta get it... it just comes down to pricepoint tho. the bolt starts low, and the niro used to have the tax credit, so people would cross shop them.... I can also see alot of people looking at the 500 because it’s probably gonna be a low pricepoint, but then like “for a little bit more, i can get a car…

yeah. honestly i try to ride my bicycle as much as possible. cars are more of a hobby for me, so i dont really burn too much fuel. maybe a tank every 4 months or so around town.... i do burn a fair amount of fuel at the track tho... but thats only like 3~4 times a year.

after rebates ours was $700 down and $150/month for a new car on closeout. our buyout is a fantastic deal too.... with full EV, our range per kwh is roughly 20% better than the PHEV version of the same car too 4.7 vs 3.8 miles/kwh so we’re better off even when on full electric. electricity is about 1/3 the cost of gas…

def little harder but the guy I was responding to had a house.

hahah you and me both.... I inherited my fathers 1937 buick special (the car i learned to drive on) and it has a siezed straight 8, and a holy-ass raidator. which gives me the perfect opportunity to EV swap... the straight 8 engine, and transmission weigh north of 800lbs so batteries likely wont make the car any…

Honestly, you dont have to upgrade your home electrical... as long as you dont get a massive EV... our 2020 Ioniq gets 4.7 miles/kwh, and we dont charge on the 240v at home.... we just use the 120v L1 charger that came with the car in to a regular 120v outlet... we talked about installing a 240 in the garage, but in…

yeah, thats exciting. when I replace my truck itll definitely be EV or PHEV depending on ev improvements when the time comes. the only reason I keep my 92 K1500 tho is because it still only has 104k miles on it, it’s in near perfect condition, and costs me next to nothing to own... (i dont drive it enough to worry…

2020 Ioniq EV.

that rear end i feel takes a lot of cues from the gen 1 Ioniq.

we went full EV too, hands down the best financial decision we’ve ever made on a car.

same. I hate it. I hate that I actually like it... lets just hope the real version lets us down so we can continue to give the prius the irrational hate that it doesnt deserve.

tesla has roughly 100,000 employees around the globe. that bonus is basically $560,000 per employee.... all to himself. fucking insane.

Tesla employs roughly 100,000 people

Oh yeah. I should have been more clear about that part. You’re likely right that this a-hole side is who he actually is, but I’d suppose he sees acting like this is a win win for him. He can be who he is and he can break in to that new market at the same time. 

this may be an unpopular opinion, but 84-month or even 36 month lease plus 72 months loan isnt a bad thing if that allows you to keep your payments under $300/month. if we go off average mileages, that would put you at around 9 years and 100k miles for a car that originally retailed for around $25k. which would…

yeah, one day living in a house in front of a stop sign wont be as annoying as it used to be.

there are a ton of us. more and more every day.

I have a 92 K1500 with 104k miles, but I would like to replace it with a Volvo truck (I dont want a semi tho) and complete my volvo ecosystem, S70, 444, future Volvo EV, and this for towing/outdoor shit...
