Clearly, you’ve never been to Montana over 20 years ago.

I’m not sure if you are getting the point, because you seem to be jumping back and forth between two arguments. On one hand you are saying that 90% of the drivers are those with 3 year leases on German cars and that only 10% would be comparing costs.

I would be, too! You have to remember that the Audi S5 is a much better car than the Toyota. Luxury cars will always demand luxury prices.

I think math is part of the reason we are Jalops. That and trying to get old rusted out piles of bolts to drive again.

When you pass someone or join the highway do you usually pull off to the side and come to a complete stop first? Usually I just accelerate from the speed I’m already at. For passing or joining the highway I would think the 40-80 mph acceleration would be more important than a 0-60 mph acceleration rate.

I absolutely agree with you if you are in a jurisdiction that is offering incentives and discounts. I’m in Ontario, Canada and our $14,000 CAD ($10,500 USD) incentive just disappeared. In the USA the federal tax credit has dropped from $7,500 USD to $3,750 now; and it halves again for the 2nd half of 2019.

I have no idea but if they are really that close I’m shocked. I thought EV would be a lot faster.

I don’t really mean cost savings though... I just mean how long does it take to cost the same as a gasoline car. I think cost is still a factor, that’s why there is a story about Tesla finally getting a car down to $35,000.

I’m talking about buying a new car, not used. In that 90,000 miles of “free” driving I was talking about you wouldn’t need a timing belt replacement, catalytic converter, radiator flushes, transmission fluid, etc.

It’s a neat idea, but you could also buy a top-trim Grand Touring Mazda3 for $10,000 less. Assuming 3 bucks a gallon and taking the city MPG of 27, that gets you at least 90,000 miles without a penny spent on fuel/electricity.

So maybe they weren’t ICE’ing...

Wow, saw the exterior and had no idea why you’d like it... Then I saw the interior and my heart grew three sizes.

It’s also why widespread electric cars aren’t going to happen for awhile.

Hopefully he’ll also care about the issues facing extraordinary Americans.

There will be a few EV options and quasi-automated drive modes, but I think both Electric drivetrains and automated cars are overhyped.

I much prefer this over the new “Kodo design language.” I miss when Mazda was fun. They made cars that smiled back. Now they’re “mature” and as they “mature” our relationship must “mature” with them.

Looks pretty good I think. Reminds me a lot of an MX5 RF with its roof up.

Yeah, it’s silly really to not acknowledge that it’s probably more about how you drive than what you drive.

To my eye it doesn’t even look like it got hit. It looks like the Tesla drives very close to it and then someone in the bushes pulls the robot over by a string that’s attached near it’s top.

The manager who forged the documents so that Aaliyah, a 15-year-old baby, and who said he was there and just wanted to talk to Aaliyah, who looked scared and concerned, good lord, man.
