It’s awful how many accidents turn into the whole Southfield being a parking lot. No shoulders, concrete walls to pen them in... I’m amazed nobody’s done anything to make that road, or the Lodge, safer...

This opens up so many questions!

Am I the only one who’s surprised he’s complying, rather than just finding another country with less rules to follow to launch from?

Did you dig into the cost of living for those households? No, you didn’t. If you had, you’d see that it doesn’t support your view. $100k a year barely covers the bills in a large portion of the US, especially since the rent and housing prices went up in 2021. It has nothing to do with appearances, and everything to do…

As this site, and many others, have pointed out - the average car price is unaffordable to most of the American market right now.

The Leaf is impractical for most drivers that don’t live and work within the same small area.

For context, I work for a data analysis firm that exists to help people understand causes of poverty, and whether or not people can overcome them. You apparently don’t realize you’re talking about the upper 18% or so of Americans. The remaining 82% of us aren’t doing so well, by no fault of our spending.

If they weren’t vaporware, or so boutique they didn’t have to worry about crash safety regulations, Alpha theoretically makes some pretty interesting EVs.

The Leaf is miserable by any measure. The Bolt is discontinued. The others are alright, but when you step up to the Niro, Ioniq5 and EV6, you’re stepping out of the price range the majority of single income or dual vehicle households can fit into a reasonable budget.

Sorry, was that supposed to make any sense? The general public (most of whom are Millennials and Gen Z at this point) would have trouble affording the monthly payment on anything over $30k, with a single income. Most people other than boomers can’t just shoehorn a $600/mo payment into their budget.

Your second sentence shows a staggering lack of understanding of the financial realities of most Americans.

The EV credits are incredibly restrictive, in terms of which models they apply to.

At their lowest spec, the model 3 is nearly $40,000, and the Model Y is nearly $50,000. The Bolt is dead product.

Gee, maybe they’d sell more if every EV the general public can afford wasn’t awful...

It’s amazing how little changes will be necessary to build a Lego version...

Thanks! I’ll definitely snag a copy of the game and start playing with it, and with food!

Anyone know if the recipes in the game are legit? I’m always looking to explore new food, and I’d love to learn some authentic recipes from a video game!

Didn’t someone on Jalopnik write an article about the J.W. Westcott a few years ago? A boat with its own zipcode?

That Frogtown one is bringing back memories, but somehow I doubt “Hell comes to Frogtown” is what the artist had in mind...

That’s the entire reason my next car isn’t going to be an EV. I’m not rich enough to buy one.
