downside is taxis (particularly in NYC) have zero downtime to waste charging. most of them are hotboxed 24-7

absolutely - every single car in GATTACA - the Avanti, DS, Continental, DS and OG Riviera

how many times did it break down between when you picked it up and got it back to your driveway?

there is a shit ton of evidence that the parkways were built with low bridges to keep the blacks and hispanics out.

what the hell is a school bus doing on the Hutch in the first place? it is a non-commercial passenger vehicle only parkway. one of the ones with the deliberately low overpasses to keep the busses full of black people from using it to get to westchester.

li-fe-po batteries have been around a long time and have a strong reputation in the RV community as well as solar backup. if weight is not a critical factor, you get a lot more Amp hours/$ in about the same volume and they also are somewhat less likely to catch fire.

quite nice looking Accord you have there. when did they start making an R model?

because the oil cartel decided a while ago to charge $1.20 more per gallon for diesel. they are “pricing per BTU” not against costs.

but hey, the oil companies only want what is good for us, right?

paid 3.94/gallon this morning.

which is still high, but then he was the white son of a rich white guy.   wonder what the number would have been for a black kid in exactly the same case.

so then Tesla’s on the hook for $105k.  unless the lawyer was working on commission, it is likely the father owes them that much in fees.

wait, so the court ordered damages were priced at $1,050,000,000??!??!

much more the Model S.  volume, useful, mostly a regular car that happens to be electric.

practical?  haven’t seen a lot of Model S’s flying the skull and cross bones....

I wouldn’t take this if they paid me $39,500.

well, maybe i would as long as I could immediately take it to the scrap yard and sell it for parts value.  with the $40k total that would leave me I could afford to buy a used honda accord with only 100k miles on the clock!

that is the problem, there are no fucking standards. it is a fucking free for all up here in the live free and die state. had a pulse for 18 years? here’s your gun.

the alternative seems to be states that say “are you brown? no guns for you”

we need strong and meaningful NATIONAL standards for licensure and training…

almost certainly the Ford Maverick XLT 4x4 FX4 with the 4K towing package.

national reciprocity for CCPs that meet a minimum standard (background check, meaningful training etc.) not the “constitutional carry” bullshit, so your concern about “states that don’t give a shit” doesn’t apply.

right now we have states that don’t give a shit (such as where I live, which sucks) states that largely…

the new NY laws are backdoor “may issue” criteria that were explicitly thrown out in the latest SC ruling. in person interview, social media accounts and personal recommendations of character all allow applicants to be denied for specious reasons (i.e. being brown)

the expansion of “sensitive areas” to basically every…

basically any MOPAR product.

a: Lordstown is still in business?
