Not with that defeatist attitude.

NP. And people who are saying the repair costs will melt your credit card are overly dramatic a tad.

NP, cheap AMG badges and tackiness notwithstanding. The AMG versions of these are tough to own, but the M113 V8 in these cars was actually pretty stout and reliable. I would be most concerned about the air suspension these came standard with, assuming this car still has it (possible +1 for reliability if it’s been…

1st Gear: “but as it turns out, the data just doesn’t support that line of thinking... yet”

Everything except the chassis, which used expensive “hydroformed” rails like the Corvette.

As an EV road tripper, parks sound nice in theory but in practice when I’m stopping for 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours what I really want is somewhere to pee and buy something to eat or drink within 1-2 minutes walking distance (and not having to run across a major road). If there’s a bench to sit on away from the…

In general, I think more chargers is better for everyone, regardless of where they are located and what consumer behavior it might try to encourage.

Considering rest stop restaurants exist, it is clear that people aren’t that bothered with the concept considering those places have been around since before EV’s spread.

Never sat in a restaurant or movie theater for more than 45 minutes? Or sat in a coffee shop and talked with friends?

Not if you’re sucking down a mochafragilisticexpialicchino and biscotti while taking a meeting and grinding out emails, it isn’t.
