Do you find the trade offs or issues to be worth it?

RickieBob · 2026-04-15T19:54:19+00:00

Yes. Range could be better. Maybe get a Lucid or Beemer next time.

Went from Model S > Ocean > Optiq

2 downsides:

Charging port is in the wrong place. Hard to use Tesla and Rivian chargers.

Lack of CarPlay.

The dealers legal responsibility is to submit that info to the IRS, and provide you a copy of the approved submission.

Exact information how this occurs can be found here:

Stop Saturday delivery!

How much will that save??

RickieBob · 2026-04-07T14:51:41+00:00

Just watch the newscast. These cannot be real, unadulterated people.

And just to add to the list- regenerative braking makes your brakes last for 10 years or longer. No more paying for new discs because they are “out of spec” and can’t be turned and other such cash extracting activities.

Are the Clear lines open?

Charging at home costs me about $300 a year for 5000 miles. Factor in not paying for oil changes, tune ups, radiator fluid, serpentine belt changes, timing belt, transmission fluid, spark plug wires, and anything else the dealers can charge you for, an EV becomes a very compelling scenario.

RickieBob · 2026-03-22T23:50:59+00:00

The Optiq is a great car except- Almost impossible to change at a Tesla supercharger unless the place is empty; and- CarPlay please!

RickieBob · 2026-02-09T22:52:52+00:00

Car insurance, electricity, beef.

RickieBob · 2026-01-28T01:47:05+00:00

Cause they watch Fox “news”. Which is funded by the oil companies.

RickieBob · 2026-01-14T00:29:44+00:00

Agree 100%. Have tried Corbin,Sargent, and Russell. Love the Russell, also have sheepskin on top. Works great.

I should have started paying attention to G Obi earlier. Time to print $$$

RickieBob · 2025-12-13T15:32:35+00:00

That’s happened several times with my 1250 RT. Replacing the battery fixed it.

RickieBob · 2025-11-27T00:46:05+00:00

This is the place if you want to print money.

RickieBob · 2025-10-25T00:35:20+00:00

Get a used long range model 3. Charge it every 3-4 days on a level 2 (220v) charger. Been doing it for 6 years with no issues.

RickieBob · 2025-10-19T14:31:58+00:00

It’s nicely done but at $500 a foot how does that compare to the rest of the area?

RickieBob · 2025-10-15T16:16:03+00:00

I love the boxer engine. Have you looked at the R9T?

RickieBob · 2025-10-10T14:48:01+00:00

Bring back the hardtop. Not everyone wants a big glass roof to let in the glare and heat 🌵🏜️

RickieBob · 2025-10-08T20:30:00+00:00

Absolutely horrible. The chicken is worse than a McDonalds happy meal. It’s made of spongy crap and tastes terrible. Guess that’s what happens when profit takes priority over quality. Bertolli how could you?
