Range is less of an issue than recharging speed and infrastructure (for longer trips). I can charge, overnight, at home, and that would work fine, 330-340 days a year. It’s those 15-25 other days that create the huge psychological hurdle, where I’m trying to go 200+ miles in one day.

Need and want are 2 different things. Realistically MOST people, unless you have a monster commute, could be perfectly fine with 50 to 100 mile range, and charging at home. That said the real answer is what others have said already which is 300 miles/charge, which is roughly what an ICE car can get on a tank. Most…
If it’s my main vehicle, I would say 250 miles. Not a necessity but I a preference. I very rarely drive that far in a year. For a secondary car, 130 miles like the new fiat 500e is plentiful.
300 miles is more than I honestly NEED for day-to-day use but it’s a nice, neat psychological target. Where I live there are occasional weekends trips to the next big town (Tampa) or the even rarer (thankfully) need to get out of the path of a hurricane. 300 miles would do that (round trip). Even though I know I could…
Realistically, with my current lifestyle, I could probably make a first gen Leaf work even with the batteries being degraded. Although I’d like at least 200 if I forget to plug it in.
Ah yes, now I remember. I had the lasagna.
Hardly anything anymore is about expertise. It’s about who can garner the most clicks, responses, and coverage. Regardless of whether or not any of it is positive or negative.
I paid for a First Class seat, I expect only the best fever, chills, aches, nausea and diarrhea!
Is this related to my Costco taquitos getting recalled?
I also remember him advising everyone to sell their shares of Stark Industries as well!
That was my first thought, take the star

Life imitates art with the exception that it wasn’t the fish. Seriously, we need MORE inspectors and MORE regulation. Corporations are incapable of policing themselves. People need to got to jail for this.
I remember when he made the horrible call of upgrading Bluth Company stock to Don’t Buy. What a schmuck.

My take was Fight Club
Until you buy the car and it depreciates faster than you can pay off the loan, making it hard to trade in, sell, or get coverage after an accident for the value of the loan. If you like underwater loans a used EV is definitely the best value for losing money.
Most of it isn’t. Tesla is a publicly traded company and ~80% of the company is owned by shareholders, possibly even including you, if you or your retirement account owns share of the S&P 500. Tesla is far from the only mainstream company you probably are purposely or unaware you are a customer of that donates to…
Early 2010's large American sedans, especially cars like the Buick Lacrosse, Mercury Sable/Montego, etc.
The one that’s paid for and sitting in the garage. I couldn’t help myself. Back to regular programming..
HOT TAKE: Any large German luxury sedan. BMW 5/7 series, Audi A6/7/8, Mercedes E-Class (S-Class are amazing but are just too problematic and costly to repair.)
When I lived in upstate NY, I had a Cicada hit my helmet at 55+. Not only did it knock my head back but I could barely see past the bug schmoo left in its place.
