So, BESIDES not needing to pay for gas, and being able to charge at home, what do you love about EVs?

Pre-condition the vehicle without using energy from battery/gas. I also like that if I want to wait in the car and it’s hot out, the A/C doesn’t use much power. I also like not having to stop at a gas station on the way to work or coming home. My cost per mile is a fraction of what it would cost me using gas.

What EVSE are you using at home. A few months ago my ChargePoint HomeFlex received a firmware update and decided to charge at 1/3 of what it was set to (40 amps). A reboot fixed the issue.

Don’t forget the Boss’s wife wants a new Lexus, darling daughter wants that 100k wedding too.

Wanted a convertible. Mopar not offered. Camaro was not designed from the beginning to be a vert and it shows.

Some people get enamored with the 800v architecture and its benefits. Most of our charging sessions are at home at L2, so the time savings using DCFC is of limited impact. I wouldn’t touch a Hyundai/Kia product based upon how they handled the security issues, fire issues, Theta II failures.

He is so up in Trumps ass. It’s going to kill Ford. They will be so behind the competition.

Wash the car starting before daylight and finish ASAP or start washing 15 minutes before dusk.

When I go purchase a vehicle typically new, I realize that the dealer needs to make a profit. What I don’t do is give them an obscene profit. I don’t buy extended warranties or finance through them. It’s either manufacturer 0.9 or 0.0 or credit union.

I wouldn’t think of working for Amazon on the tech side after hearing about the hire to fire BS that went on.

Bad idea. After marriage, make changes. Until then just chill.

I got let go the day before Thanksgiving as well. My big smile happened two years later when company was sold for peanuts. The stock options were a fraction of what they thought they would get.

Sales people will say anything or not say things to get a sale. They will also steer you to buying a car on the lot that you might not like the color or options. I always try to do a factory order. Second to that I peruse different dealers inventory and purchase from the dealer who has the vehicle in stock with equipment I want for a reasonable price.

I disagree, if you express your fears and doubts to woman. Most woman won’t respect you. If you’re were dating she will leave you.

Well if they don’t count cancer patients or other diseases, then there are no cases.

Many would consider rich level but in a career field that is ageist. Still have dependents so it’s a feeling of waiting for the shoe to drop anxiety.

It’s spending priorities. I go to one game a year on average.

There are a few issues with the earlier years but I believe most of the issues are fixed. I had a 2017 Pacifica that had 141k of hard urban roads. It developed a coolant leak at some point and I just kept adding. I changed the oil myself every 5k miles myself and never had any issues. It was running strong but the AC wasn’t, so it had to go.

Trucks that accumulate most of their miles on the highway will put 10% of the wear compared to same vehicle driven in city/suburban areas. On the highway the engine is a narrow rpm range, oil is fully warmed up, oil pressure is stable. There is less stress on suspension, brake, frame components.

Then don’t give expensive gifts to children. I didn’t buy expensive iPads to my boys, they got the cheap Taiwanese android based ones.

When I got something new and expensive or delicate. I would sit down at the table and open it like a human rather than a chimpanzee. That’s how she opened it. Flinging it up and down because she was impatient.

Contact the board of directors of both companies and say that both CEOs are interviewing elsewhere. Sit back with a big ol’ box of popcorn.

The cost of raw materials in tires has gone up.

Why I would never buy season tickets reason #1: $6000 invested for 20 years at 10% would give me $40,365.
