I think that you’re misconstruing my tone. Like I said in another post, there are exceptions. If you have tens of thousands returning less than the return of solar a month, then sure, buy solar. Also, congrats on being in a very comfortable, but small club. To put it another way, if solar really made (on a macro…

There will be exceptions to any statement. I guess that I can elaborate on “financial sense”. I was quoted (on average) at about $35,000 for my house. I’ve never had an electric bill of $300. But let’s say, for this, I do. 300 is 0.8% of 35,000. That lump of cash can do WAY more for me than pay a $300 electric bill.…

Ah ok. Well, you can actually sell back, which almost always sucks. I think a lot of people are still navigating the process of solar, so every bit of syntax matters!

I think I would have to be inept at investing for solar to actually net a financial return greater than taking the sum cost of the system and putting that into a Roth or a couple ETHs, and using that profit to pay for my electricity

Solar still doesn't make financial sense, and it sucks. Also, the agreements between utilities and the state suck. You can never go truly off grid. That being said, Colorado and Excel have a 1:1 credit system for kWh, which is way better than selling it back to the grid. I hope you look and see if NV has a similar…

Your vision relies on the notion that Dodge and Chrysler have been building brand equity for 100 years. I would argue that they have been doing a hell of a lot to tarnish rather than build. Dodge is doing its damnedest to become the HD of cars, and Chrysler is basically your uncle that has given up on life and just…

I will say that I do not think ‘91 Dodge would have as hard of a time as current Dodge with the transition to EVs

Another way to put it is that Dodge is not “The” performance brand. It is one performance brand out of many, and their particular brand of performance is not exactly the crowd/culture/branding that translates well to the EV segment. Supra != Charger. Porsche 911 != Challenger. All of those are performance, but the…

I will try to be more clear, but I don’t see how it can be more clear than this: Tesla already makes cars that SPANK performance ICE cars in acceleration, yet you still have people in V8s blocking charging stations. This tells the real story: it’s not about the performance after all, it’s about the image. EVs don’t…

I’ve heard this counter point before, and I don’t buy it. Tesla already makes cars that SPANK performance ICE cars in acceleration, yet you still have people in V8s blocking charging stations. This tells the real story: it’s not about the performance after all, it’s about the image. EVs don’t have that image. Rivian…

I personally think that Dodge is doomed, as it’s brand (and maybe even customers) doesn’t translate to a small displacement ICE -> all EV world. Yes, EVs are fast, but they're not brawny, brash, country accent voiceover material. Dodge has been pigeonholing itself for decades now, and it's time for that harvest to be…

Grab all the French crossovers, smooth out the exteriors, plush up the interiors, and let it ride. Keep the Pacifica and whatever Stellantis replaces the 300 with (if they do). If that doesn’t work, stick a fork in them. The PSA brand should be sold in America somehow, and utilizing an existing brand and dealer…

When I was living in Europe I almost bought one of these in a two door. I was surprised though. There aren't nearly as many Hondas on european roads as an American might think. Quite hard to find one near where I was

Lol, you beat me to the exact post I was about to write out

This heavily tracked name branding is a fad, and it’s disappointing to see Lexus try to rebrand its logo based on it. It's going to look really tacky in 5 years, just like all of you people putting arrow motifs in interior design

I mean, I’ve been saying this about automatic sports cars for years. What the point? You press and go. I think that everyone has their own definition of driving enjoyment. I like it to be as engaging as possible. Some like it as loud as possible, while others just want it to be stupid fast. The fact that the current…

“Kuniskis likens this situation to the late 1970s, where The Powers That Be began regulating muscle cars out of existence”

It’s very clearly a step that is needed for the car to fully drive itself. Should they have removed any physical shifter? I don’t think so. But quotes like, “The thing here is that this seems like a hell of a lot of technology to solve a problem that really doesn’t exist” obviously didn’t have much thought put into…

It’s looking realllll nice

Is there a baseline regulator? What if you want to pedal harder one day but not the next?
