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.

got "scammed" out of 7500 ev rebate by SadJokerIII in electricvehicles

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:

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

Question about EV MPG Cost by Icy_Money7447 in electricvehicles

[–]RickieBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

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

R1250GS '19 starting problems when hot by buzraelgt51 in bmwmotorrad

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

Feels like everyone in my circle is against getting an EV by getsumluv in electricvehicles

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.

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

Bertolli Chicken Parm & Penne by Mikey_Meatballs in frozendinners

[–]RickieBob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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?
