I think one of the big things is that you have a lot of staunch EV advocates showing up going “there’s no maintenance!”

Seems like half the car was replaced. My dad’s truck has 250,000 miles and he’s only replaced tires and brakes. I’ll stick to cars that don’t fall apart.

Every part of your comments is easily falsifiable nonsense. 

Just ride the bus lol

As for overtime, it doesn’t matter whether the employer authorizes it or not, if the work is performed, overtime pay is due. It would be up to the employer and the employee to manage schedules and overtime.

It’s a difficult problem. For people who Uber/Lyft as a primary source of income and drive more or less full time, they are definitely getting the short end of the stick by not having employee status. But for many others (like me) who do it part time and just as a way to make extra cash...I would not want employee…

Let me guess...live in a place with good taxi service, or just always drive yourself?

This entire situation is very confusing to me. If they’re reclassified as “employees”, can drivers be restricted from working for multiple companies? Can the companies then schedule times for them to be on/off? This article talks about overtime pay...isn’t that usually up to the company to determine if they want you…

so that we get 3 crappy chargers in a place nobody goes.

The trope that “people get boring when they have kids” really needs to die. ALL people are boring. It’s not like all those single people are driving Ariel Atoms to work. They are buying the same boring-ass crossovers as everyone else.

Amen, Brother! Even though the headline prepared me for what I was about to read, I lost interest about a paragraph in. She has no clue, and I didn’t find it humorous, either.

Good points. Article had way too much single-urban snark.

It’s pretty safe to assume that Kristen doesn’t have kids by reading this. But I feel it should be mentioned, as someone who had kids fairly recently and fairly late in life that it seems to me only someone without kids could feel this way. And maybe some self centered pricks with kids. But lets hope those are deep…

You really are the worst, you know that right? None of your commenting is ever helpful, just unecessary and annoying.

this is America, you’re entitled to your wrong opinions about which wheels should be driven.

stick AWD and ill buy

It’s just about scaling. If you need and engine in the 250-400 hp class I6 makes sense, you can do NA on the low end and turbo on the high end. Same story with the I4. 150-300 hp class engines. Sure you can get those numbers from an I4 (Volvo does) but its expensive, questionably reliable and frankly harsh. One of the…

BMW begs to differ...but yes, I6 don’t really make a lot of sense imo. It’s longer than a V8, but less powerful. V6s are significantly more compact and equally powerful and easier to fit in a FWD platform.

That doesn’t seem accurate. If you bought a house in 1989 and pay it off in 30 years, you went from being in debt to having home equity now, and that’s definitely more than 300% without having to be in the top 1%.

You forget- this is Gawker.
