I’m surprised Elon hasn’t tried to use that moniker on his cars.  It’s on brand for him.

No.  I hate when my car is dirty.

I can’t imagine what my life would be like if I had gone through with that purchase. My wife never said “I don’t like it.” But I can read her very well. I could just tell she wasn’t impressed. After that, I decided to start looking at other options. I ended up with a Kia EV6 GT and I’m very happy with it. These are…

Yup!  I’d be shocked if this wasn’t one of those.  I had a pre-order on one for two years and luckily pulled out of it once I saw how underwhelmed my wife was with it at a showing in Seattle.  So I’ve been following this whole saga with fascination.  Ha ha!

Kia EV6

I can only imagine what the insurance on a car like that for a 16 year old boy would cost, though?  Why even pay that if you’re the parents?  

And it’s really not any uglier than a Cyberyuck.  Its face was the big knock on this vehicle back in the day.

I’m not really sure how money laundering works, but... money laundering?

This goes for all YouTube, but the stupid mouth agape, shocked face, pointing at something look they all use.  I run my company’s YouTube channel and they always tell us crap like “The algorithm likes people’s faces.  The algorithm likes when people point at things, etc.”  I don’t give a crap.  That’s not what our…

How long until Trump pardons this nutcase?

The suite of safety features in my EV6 GT are largely helpful and can be turned on or off.  But the rear cross traffic system is VERY nervous and you cannot permanently disable it.  You can turn it off, but you have to remember to do it every time you start the car, which is annoying as it is in three submenus.  The…

Not sure what her commute is. But I’ve been doing Tacoma to Seattle for the last 16 years, which is about as far as any semi-sane person would be willing to drive around here for a commute. Anyway.. I have an EV6 GT, which rates pretty low on the range meter. And even with that car, I have more than enough range to…

In 1995 when I was 16, I paid $1000 for a 1977 Buick LeSabre that I hated and didn’t want but my mom and sister absolutely harangued me into buying the stupid thing because it was owned by old people and “Old people take care of their cars.” The hell they do! That thing was a shit heap and left me stranded many times.…

Subaru has not been interested in the wants of its performance audience in 20 years.  

My EV6 GT does 0-60 in something like 3.3 seconds.  I can’t imagine needing to go any faster than that.  It frightens me thinking that there will be a certain subset of morons that will be able to pick up these missiles cheap used and then push them to their limits.  Used EVs will be the new Charger/Challenger for the…

I work in Seattle.  The Model 3/Model Y are basically every other car on the road.  It is TEDIOUS.  Especially white ones.  If you had to rob a bank and slip away quickly and then into traffic undetected like the Joker at the beginning of The Dark Knight, get one of these jellybeans.  

I just saw my first Fisker Ocean here in Washington (Tacoma, to be exact) about three weeks ago.  I had one of these reserved for two years before canceling my pre-order (THANK GOD).  I saw it from behind quite a distance off and did my damnedest to get close enough to actually see it in person.  It was the bright…

Well, that must have made for an interesting “Track my package” update.  “Why is it in the woods.  Wait... why is it AT THE POLICE STATION??”

I’ve been at work since 3:30 AM. I work in news and we don’t really get holidays off since anything can happen at any time.  That being said, we do scale back our content so I’ve done very little today.  But I’m almost done!

Hyundai can go a little nuts, though. My wife’s Ioniq 5, I feel, is the perfect balance between physical controls and use of the touch screen. However, the Santa Fe (it was not one of the brand new ones, perhaps the previous gen) we rented a few weeks ago while on a trip was absolutely insane with buttons. So much…
