Re: Let's talk about cars

Home charging solutions are simply another barrier to entry. Why the hell would I want to spend another $5k, after having just spent $40k+ (at least) on a new EV truck? People will not adopt until...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Can we talk about EVs for a moment?

I am browsing for my next truck. In the next 18 months it will come time to retire my 2015 F150 XLT. I was looking at the new all EV F150 Lightening, and I just...

I was referring to transitions lenses, which is what I inferred you were talking about too.

Re: Let's talk about cars

That's a pretty nice looking ride. The wheels are pretty much identical to my Civic. I wish my Civic had that heads up display though.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Nice truck, but I personally really don't like the front end of those Silverados.

The new EV they showed the other day liked really nice. Too bad it'll be $105k :huh:

Of course it is, it's a BMW.

Of course when it breaks, you'll need a 2nd mortgage to fix it :rofl:

Re: Let's talk about cars

Hell our Honda Civic gets that, and it's got a gas engine. Pays to be low to the ground and 'slippery' I guess. On the other hand my 3.5L V6 F150 only gets about 21.4 on average.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Indeed. The Honda sense system (which is standard among trim levels on the Civic at least) is pretty impressive. Adaptive cruise control, active lane keep assist, dynamic emergency breaking. The only...

Yep sure is. You can get manuals, but for everyday driving? Auto is fine.

Our driving really hasn't decreased at all during COVID with both being essential workers. She's moved up from a 2012 Ford...

So other than routine maintenance they really aren't a big deal?

Re: Let's talk about cars

Thanks for that Steerpike - I still haven't managed to get a straight answer from anyone at the local Honda dealership though on a 2020 Accord. It's like no one knows, which is.... odd.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Our daily driving has not changed one bit the entire time. That's Georgia for you. Probably why we have one of the highest case counts.

Doesn't help that both of us are/were essential.
