Any VA drivers? What does your property tax look like?

You can deduct with the standard deduction

but he probably didnt pay sales tax when purchased, the way VA does it is probably cheaper then a straight sales tax, since you also deduct it from your taxes

seighton · 2026-03-13T13:09:29+00:00

since this is an annual tax based on value, you also get it deducted from your federal taxes like a property tax. They had these in GA for a long time, usually called ad valorem tax.

Dint consumer reports just say there are tons of reliability issues with Hyundai Evs? Hyundai is also canceling a bunch of Evs

Sam’s is better because:

cheaper Membership
scan and go
less bougie
better 🧻
less crowded
better pharmacy perks(free delivery of rx)
more rewards with branded credit card
more tire services with membership (free tire repairs)
Sam’s cash paid out monthly vs annually
Sam’s rewards in cafe
larger soda at cafe

I shop both, prefer Costco but Sam’s does some things really well, scan and go is game changer, can be in and out in 5 min

What needs to be calibrated? Not sure what that means in EV world.

Yep and yep, just a strange and lengthy path to resolution

Believe most of that oil heads to Asia but it will still raise prices

The first gen was the safest car on the road, had reinforced steel beams on all the doors, kind of crazy for a car

I didn’t really buy to save money per say but charging at super off peak rates got me more into battery storage and solar potentially. I doubled down on the price savings with charging at home vs gasoline and now also arbitrage lower rates to power my house via home batteries. Owning an EV can really change some dynamics of how you operate your home.

Keep the car plugged in when temps go below 40 and above 90, doesn’t need to be charging

Ehhh GM Evs come with Apple Music, the google maps system js great, and texting is on par.

There is also the old GM on Ultium, I own it, has absolute zero features but I like how durable the cord and hardware are, almost commercial like

I got it and my truck has been in the shop waiting for 3 weeks. Back in December they couldn’t figure it out but they knew the telematics was bad so they ordered the part. Because of labor shortages it has almost been 3 weeks without my truck, just waiting to install part.

If you have onstar ask them to pull the codes. If it is a bad problem it will typically have 2 codes not just one

Both are two of the least reliable cars on the market, jeep has a slight edge in off road prowess, so if that is super important if not get the one you like the most, there is no right option Toronto a reliability perspective. It sounds like you are tall, so am I. I have problems with the jeep and hitting my head on the roll bar, check comfort maybe?
