Same. I've saved so, SO much money by watching Youtube videos for home repairs and Repair Clinic videos for appliance repairs that I miss the days of being able to repair my own vehicle (instead of just doing maintenance things).

I'll go: My kids are at the age where they are driving, and I'm at the position of being able to give them the vehicles we've paid off (or will soon). That leaves me with the need of a vehicle (other than my motorcycle). I'd like to haul groceries and things from home depot. A truck is IDEAL...

How many BMW's have you owned???

This thread is now about pizza toppings. Ham and Pineapple are the two best toppings on a pizza. I will die on that hill.

Seriously. "Does it move? Can it do reasonable speeds? Great, sign me up." I'm not sure what a 5 minute test drive is going to show people about a bare bones EV. Oh well.

I voted 27k+, because I'm a pessimist. I suspect it'll be 25k for the base model, but then some "delivery fee" will rack it up. I sincerely hope I'm wrong and it's 25k.

This has already been heavily discussed on reddit, so I'll just leave this here: Doug Demuro knows fuck all about cars. He got famous for crashing one at a track and getting dropped from Jalopknik. His review of the slate isn't going to be about it's "quirks or features", he's going to rail on...

You've heard of "Elf on the Shelf", now we've got "Drunk in the frunk!" Coming soon to an Uber near you! (ok, I'm done, I promise)

Ok, I'm now laughing at the idea of a drunk guy stuck in the frunk. Thanks, i needed that today.

12 inch speakers installed in the space over the drivers and passenger seats? ;) (My first vehicle had 6 inch speakers in the roof over the driver and passenger seats. 16 year old me LOVED it. Really clear sound.)

These journalists have done a deeper dive into the company and some of it's history. Great video overall: The questions after this should be "Why haven't they patented this game changing technology?" and "Can they scale before some big manufacturer can pivot to start making these?"

I watched this video last night, becuase I, too, am skeptical. The two problems I know of solid state batteries are expanding pouches, and materials. If they are really batteries, how did they overcome the expanding problem? If they aren't batteries, and are actually capacitors, how are they...

The blanker, the better. I put about 10k miles on my vehicle this year due to work from home. Accessories would be pointless for me.

Silly, but great craftsmanship.
