And you can get a $7500 tax credit on a Wrangler now but not a Tesla. I’m actually wondering if the reason Hummer is coming back is for the tax credit. Can’t get a credit if they are sold as a Cheby.

Two doors are AWESOME! I’d be fine if my ELR didn’t have a back seat. I mean, everyone is not out there looking for a 4 door Chevelle, yeah? Also 95% of the time I drive alone. Having a car with only 2 real seats is also good at work as I never get asked to drive out to lunch. Win-win. Demuro was wrong.

I can either get paid mileage or a rental. One of those pays back better.

I wish I had more that 3 days in a windowless office there. Did have a nice beer at Zaftig, though. That wasn’t bad at all.

I’m in the market for a lake house!

You nailed it.

Not too far off. I did take a 2,900 mile road trip to help a friend get a car from Montana to the southeast a few months ago. So, yeah, kinda.

I commute 20 miles each way and have a charger at work. I do tend to drive lots for work. I typically drive 35K miles a year. I’ve driven to Columbus for business and am baffled why people live there.

She really likes the Wrangler. She has wanted one since she had a Jeep in Hawaii 20 years ago. Life gets in the way and makes it difficult to keep a second vehicle. With the Jeep, all the goals are met by 1 platform. I thought I’d never say that about a Jeep.

I debated getting a model 3 last year. Instead I bought a used plug-in and a boat. The Tesla would have cost just shy of $50K and would have cost more to insure and register (the state of Georgia is no longer so BEV friendly). All in, I still have spent about $13K less than the model 3 would have cost. I’m looking for…

My cost per mile is far lower using electricity than any fossil fuel. My girlfriend just got a Wrangler PHEV for a good deal. It will probably work out to be cheaper than a similar Wrangler after the tax rebate. Getting something that can pull the boat without having another car is a good thing.

I had a leaf for a year (and a gas car as well) and lived in an apartment with limited chargers. At first there were no issues with the chargers and then it became difficult to get on a shared charger. At one point, I became so frustrated as to leave my Leaf at work on the charger and my gas car at home. It defeated…

I have shared custody of my daughter and my ex lives out in the sticks. I pass the last Tesla charging station about 40 miles from her house. most of the route is very rural and would turn my 5-6 our drive to an 8 hour affair in a Tesla. My current PHEV and previous Prius have no issues with the trip.

Yep. I got the Cadillac version. The used prices were so close as to not matter. After looking at about 15 used Volts and 2 used ELRs the difference in how the vehicles were obvious. The Volts typically had about 20K-30K more miles, and the 2nd gen Volts seemed to all be ex-rideshare cars. The ELR I bought looked like…

I really don’t get the hate, either.

I understand the limits of a Tesla. $47K is a grreat deal for that kind of capability. I bought a used PHEV last year for $19K. For typical daily commute, I run entirely on electrons.

Yep. My SO and I both travel frequently for work. I tend to have trips of at least 200 miles one way every 3 weeks or so. She tends to travel every 5-6 weeks. I’m currently about 750 miles from home. Drove here in 2 days. Last month, I drove 490 miles 1 way in a day. In February, I did 6, 200 mile days in 8 days. I’m…

As of 2 days ago, I now have 2 PHEVs in my garage. The current BEVs will not work for my use case. I’m sure in the future they will. At this point I’d need to have 2 BEVs and 2 gas cars to meet my family’s needs. I feel that 2 PHEVs makes way more sense. 

Renting one over Christmas in 2019 was what made me think they’d be OK to have. I took my rental to a cabin during a snowfall in the Northeast. I’m sure someone with better snow driving talent could have driven up to the cabin in a Civic with snow tires, but it was crazy fun driving up in the Wrangler. My SO is going…

I totally agree. They are expensive. Wranglers also have stupid high resale value too. Buying a used one just didn’t make sense. She’s wanted a Wrangler for like 15 years and you can’t get any other convertible to pull a trailer. We need an SUV or truck to pull the boat. She also needs to commute in Atlanta (radar…
