  1. What's ironic about these types of things is how many products are available in a grocery store with plastic packaging. I believe somewhere was a manufacturer of these heavy plastic bags that lobbied for this rule.
  2. Probably. I know zero about the systems
  3. Rox said when she drove it this week the motor was not as quiet as she remembered. At one point it went completely dead. She couldn’t get in because the door handles wouldn’t pop out. She did manage to open the trunk and magically it all came back.
  4. Because it happened quickly. Maybe I’m wrong. I’ve never sold a vehicle to Carvana
  5. I don't know the details of the Carvana sale. I can only assume the current troubles are not known to them.
  6. I said a few years back that as soon as the economic reality of the cost of addressing climate change becomes real the support for those changes will fall of dramatically.
  7. Purchased new. He sold the S to Carvana. Already owned a Y. Got another Y for his wife. Feel bad for the person who buys this from Carvana.
  8. Do you remember the mileage? Makes a huge difference.
  9. My son-in-law has a 10 year old Model S. ~90,000 miles. Electric motor is dying. Repairs cost more than the car is worth. In my area a used S with similar mileage runs ~$20K I would venture a guess to say the typical 10 yo ICE with 90K on the clock can also have a motor problem. I don't think the replacement motor would be more than the vehicle is worth.
  10. Hehe...antiques roadshow.
  11. I so miss Mark. I laughed at the original caption. Something about making them get off the jumpsuit before it got messy.
  12. My original thought was to try and get some idea if I was out of the ordinary. To be sure every one involved a willing partner.
  13. I think the biggest problem EVs have is the promise of some bright new future where they save the planet from total destruction. While the kids have been scared into believing the adults aren't so sure.
  14. I get it. But this is the only place I’d ever say these things
  15. You mean like assholes?
  16. Used to be those big box rentals didn't allow you to tow anything. I don't know if it's still like that.
  17. I wish. Northeast Ohio resident since 1964. Moved here from Florida
  18. Yes but why would they? There has to be a compelling reason to spend the money.
  19. My son in law is a bigwig with Aurora https://aurora.tech/ I'm not sure about the public accepting this tech.
  20. The convenience of my truck is boat towing, hauling yard waste, the occasional moving of objects, and the comfort of 4 WD during snowstorms. I don’t know anyone who has a truck that doesn’t use it for some or all of those things.
  21. I think there's a place for both. I don't see ICEs going away anytime soon. There's so many industries that rely on ICEs. If EVs are your thing that's fine. I'll stick with gas buggies as long as I can.
  22. The chances of your vehicle being bone dry in your driveway are nil. So are the chances of your EV being 100% discharged. Point being the amount of time involves to bring them to whatever percentage range you choose. The answer seems to be home charging. In my area it will be ~$2000 for a setup installed. That's roughly 40 fill ups before you break even. And we don't have an EV yet. Not a doable thing for people how make $15/hr. If you really want the changes to happen you'll need to government to pay for the home conversion.
  23. https://fox8-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/fox8.com/news/watch-how-a-high-speed-chase-on-the-turnpike-ended/amp/?amp_js_v=0.1#webview=1&cap=swipe at least make sure it’s fully charged before attempting to evade law enforcement. lol
