He is literally a man-child at this point
Says the illegal immigrant.
No idea why people keep buying cars from this guy. Fuck this moron.
I just went MA -> TN -> OH -> MA and only had one place where all stations were offline, but they came back within a half hour.
Iβve never had a Tesla supercharger be offline.
However Iβve had several EA chargers derated, one at 30kWh. Not to mention broken stalls. Or how about EA charging me the full price even though I paid for their membership thing?
ChargePoint never hit full speed on my last trip.
A random CCS station did better than any of the big names.
Tesla is by far the most reliable, why do you think auto companies are changing to NACS?
If youβre in California, be aware that thereβs a hidden/sneaky βEV taxβ and youβll be paying (nearly) double registration fees every year. Mine went from $330 to alamost $700.
Also public charging is starting to be a problem as thereβs not nearly enough charging stations and CA does nothing about it.
I mean I wouldnβt call it sneaky, itβs not like a conspiracy or anything. Most states pay for road maintenance and projects from gas taxes. Since EVs donβt use gas but still use roads they should pay their share too, so it makes sense itβd come from the registration. Itβs still way less than paying for gas or taxes on gas.
Should be a variable charge like a gas tax placed on public EV chargers and not a one time yearly fee. There is a big consumption difference between a Hummer EV and a Smart EV.
EDIT: Not every state has thought clearly about additional EV fees. Starting later this year, Texans who drive electric cars will pay significantly more in registration fees than an average gas car driver pays in gas taxes each yearβ¦because itβs fucking Texas.
Youβre also not paying gas taxes though. They have to make up the lost gas tax revenue somehow. Realistically, it should be based on the miles driven and the weight of the car (road damages increases exponentially with the weight of the vehicle), but for now they just have that flat EV tax.
Iβm in the EV market right now, looking for a good commuter car, and Tesla went from my #1 spot to one of the last options. Itβs amazing how well he tanked that whole business. Luckily thereβs a ton of
competition cheaters now
What is at the top of your list? Iβm leaning towards the Ford Mach E with awd but have only looked deeply at half of what is available. Tesla is at the bottom of my list also
My parents got a 2021 Mach E and they love it. Iβve driven it a few times. Iβm eyeing one for my next car too, though Iβve also been interested in Hyundaiβs offerings. Iβve never wanted a Hyundai in my life but their new EV lineup looks pretty compelling.
Mach e is up there. Currently number one spot is the Hyundai ioniq 6, it looks like a direct competitor to the model 3. Nissan leaf and I think Honda are in the running too. Idk gotta start test driving to really know. Iβll still test drive a model 3, but from what I hear and see I probably wonβt go for it
My dad was going to buy a Tesla up until a few years ago, thereβs far more and better competition nowadays. And itβs really seeming Teslaβs are actively dangerous.
Donβt they have the highest amount of flaws among all car brands or something?
A conservative was talking at me a few weeks ago about how much he loved how Musk was pissing off the libs and about how heβs a shrewd businessman. I asked if he would buy a Tesla and he said never. He didnβt have a response when I told him Musk doesnβt sound like a good businessman.
He did manage it. Managed to turn it into a pile of shit bigger than the one on Jurassic Park
I keep telling you that we need to eat the rich.
If weβre bbqβing and youβre using silverware I think youβre doing it wrong, all bbq is finger food and bread is your napkin. Itβs like the only time eating like youβre 6 when youβre 56 is socially acceptable.
Thatβs a valid point, what kind of cookware should we use and how should we catch the wild game?
Itβs so much work though.
You have to really scrub them to get all the lotion and bronzer off. Then given theyβre absolutely saturated in recreational and prescription drugs you have to brine them for around a week.
Then itβs another day in the smoker low-and-slow for something thatβs honestly not very tasty. Theyβre βokβ if you soak them in BBQ sauce, but itβs one of those things people eat just to say they did β not because they taste good.
