Kinda weird to mention that repairs cost more when in fact one of the biggest benefits of owning an EV is how much cheaper the maintenance is over time since EVs lack many of the parts that you’d have to replace on a gasoline vehicle. I do love how much time I save not needing to care about oil changes and smog checks.

Former Civil Engineer here. One semi truck does the damage of 10,000 passenger cars. If you eliminated trucks from a stretch of US interstate highway, you’d reduce the required concrete pavement thickness from 9-10 inches to 5 inches. You’d also extend the pavement life from 20 years to 50 years.

So I’m not too worried…

well, you need more expensive repairs but you also need FEWER repairs overall, so it tends to be a wash. Obviously you still have a drivetrain but there’s a lot less to go wrong with an electric motor than the complicated dance of pistons and valves that is an internal combustion engine. There’s a reason the electric…

You don’t need a 300 amp service. Unless you also have a grow op.

He’s an engineer!!

For real, Tesla had a 10 year lead on EVERYONE, but in the last 3 years that same EVERYONE caught up and surpassed them

In the not too distant future Tesla is going to be a case study on wasting a head start.

Listen, you’re focusing on the wrong thing. Look over here, it’s TWITTER!

Boomers who buy Vettes don’t like mail-in ballots.

It’s-a me, Mario, and Afeela like-a this-a name-a sucks-a!

Pass! It’s been in an accident. A pretty bad one, too. Severe enough that it knocked the steering wheel over to the passenger side!

Especially when May and Hammond are right there

From what I can tell, they seem to hate her because she’s black, American, and doesn’t come from very old money, which somehow makes her unworthy of marrying a royal.

Should this be surprising to anyone? He’s an automotive shock-jock. As noted, a troll. And a physically violent one at that. He always has been that way - everyone used to indulge him, or excuse the worst of it, because Top Gear was just such a great show. But now that Top Gear isn’t around anymore, people are turning…

Well, I suppose they’d have to hold a special election.

I mean, if “provides gender affirming care to trans children in consultation with a doctor” is sufficient evidence of abuse to take people’s children from them and throw them in jail, Cruz probably deserves the death penalty for this.

This poor child.
