What will it take to make you seriously consider an EV?

I wonder if it was crap electrical work for the 50 amp plug.
Those things need to be installed correctly with the right gauge wire.

 

And permitted.

 

Never know. That's the thing.

Knowing the neighborhood, and the types of people that live there, I'd be a bit surprised if it wasn't done by the book. But like I said, people do some weird things.

 

This is how you know it’s time to buy again.

 

Sounds like a libertarian nightmare.

 

Oh no...what now?

 

you figure it out yet?

 

Damn that's scary

 

A guy went to China to look at EVs and wrote about it. Some of those Chinese models look pretty cool. That one with the full dash video blew me away. I also like how you can program messages on the taillights of some--I've been wanting that for years to let people know there's a drunk driver ahead.

I spent a week in China for the Beijing Auto Show, the country’s biggest car industry event. As a guest of the Geely Group along with a few other international journalists, I drove more than a dozen vehicles, sat in many more, and had a lot of important conversations. The real story is far more nuanced than a simplistic “Us vs. Them”; a story of a China that has fraudulently over-invested in electric cars and is desperately seeking a space to dump their inferior products.

That narrative is false. Western automakers are cooked. And a lot of this is probably their damn fault.

Jesus God, that's not AI?

 

That's ****ing horrible. Messing with that contraption is more dangerous that anyone else on the road.

Fewer distractions in autos, not more.

 

I wish that deal was around 5 months ago. Earning 3 or 4 points on 40k over 6 years isn't a bad

 

Didn't Tesla-Austin just cut production of the Y in half?

 

I think demand is pretty low ....might be another lever they are pulling to get inventory moving again...

 

That ship has sailed and is well out to sea. All new cars are essentially computers on wheels unless you go the Versa or Kia Forte route and even those have chips in them.

 

There's actually a massive pushback against this, and for actual buttons.

 

What’s wrong with people?!

Many people complained the iPhone didn't have physical buttons for the keyboard in the beginning. Physical keyboards are better, but not worth the expense of losing half your screen.
After market interior parts will be a big market for minimalistic interiors.

 

phones are not cars, they are replacing everything with screens because its cheaper.
