I am so torn on this.... I hate subscriptions, and having to pay for shit bolted on that ill potentially never use, but I will note that self-driving is the one area that I feel a subscription is somewhat acceptable, because that’s an area thats going to be getting constant updates...

and all those stupid birds and squirrels building their tiny homes out of sticks, crowding the local trees? no thanks

“we have thoroughly investigated ourselves, and fortunately for us, we have found there to be no foul play and no mistakes made. we have since taken the appropriate steps in order to absolve ourselves of any wrongdoing. furthermore, we appreciate the support from the local community in the understanding that there are…

“it’s not always about how fast you get there.... sometimes it’s about how good you look getting there...”

as long as you get billet or forged spacers youll be ok... not cast... also get hub centric spacers... ones that sit of the hub lip, and also have a lip for the wheel... always use a torque wrench and never impact.

I agree with this here about musk and pricing....

when you have a broken down Jag in your driveway, you can say “well.... at one point I had money....”

yeah, tesla runs on hype... I used to work in procurement (different industry), and every time I hear how much tesla promises, I’m like “lol, I’ve worked with factories there’s actually no way that production ramp is even remotely realistic...” but people eat that shit up....

chargers tend to be lower priority than combustible fuels so gas stations have attendants who check up on the pumps every day vs the chargers just rely on someone taking the time to report it (thru the app).... the catch 22 is that someone trying to use the card reader likely doesnt have the app....

honestly this was exactly what I was thinking.... they could push the $14k negative equity off split between 2 cars. if they cant make payments, they could push all their payments to one car, and lose the other, but they wont lose their only car.

“Kesterson says that Volvo customers usually pay cash for their vehicles”

damn... extension cord it is!

we have an EV, and we tend to get at least 10~15% more range than what the EPA states, so I can see the 48 miles for the bolt working out. efficiency on an EV is pretty much a direct correlation between resistance and energy used, whereas, a gas engine’s efficiency can fluctuate on rpm/load/gearing

well the laughable problem is that the simplest solution to charging back 100 miles faster, is add more cells, each cell can only charge back so fast, but if you double the number of cells, you should be able to charge back that 100 miles at twice the speed...... at the same time, a full charge will net you double the…

we have a 1st gen ioniq, we get 65 miles overnight.... a leaf or bolt should be able to pull close to 50+ too.

we charge at home on 110v its been perfectly fine. as long as the car is small and efficient its not really an issue.

I’m gonna softly disagree. (Speaking for those who can charge at home)

best color is brown... and they’d sell dozens.

And at the same time gas cars burn about 1/2 gallon/hr just to spin even at 5mph. 

An additional project car my wife won’t complain about.
