My son is 13 and my youngest daughter is 10. I love the idea of them only being able to take 1 passenger as per the law in texas for under 18 drivers (unlike my oldest who for sure breaks that law on a regular basis). For myself I want a truck that doesnt take up so much room in the garage and...

My wife has a mercedes gle 450e. It gets 60 miles on a charge. With an l2 charger she will never use gas. We switch to gas mode once a month or so to exercise the ice and use up some of the gas. this is how I know 150 miles is fine for me. I drive even less than my wife. The one thing I would...

2015 honda odyssey, leaking valves due to eco. I ended up buying a device that tricks the computer into thinking the temp is too cold to go into eco mode.

one interesting thing for fleet sales is theft (and of course maintenance). When you give your guys a credit card, they will use it for personal fill ups. With EV charging at the home office you avoid this.

The number of people saying it doesnt have a radio or power windows so it should be 20K is ridiculous a typical radio and speakers might be $200 and the power windows might be $100.

It wouldnt be the dealer, it would be GM financial. They set the residual value to be ridiculously high. It was a 35K residual and the cost of the car after all stacked incentives should have been 32K. some dealers would refund you the 3K, but they would still end up positive because GM is...

a st a standard shaped truck, a cargo van that can be converted into a camper van. Even a minivan. self driving is best on long road trips. Stopping to charge isnt that big of a deal if you have a camper van.

this is me. I did try to lease a chevy equinox ev before the credit expired, but the dealers were so scammy. A lease has cap cost money factor residual period That is it. From those you 100% can calculate the monthly payment. On the chevy website the calculation showed that I can get under...

i can see why they would pepper california, but these are the top states for total evs California: ~1.26 million EVs Florida: ~255,000 EVs Texas: ~230,000 EVs Washington: ~152,000 EVs New Jersey: ~135,000 EVs

my tundra has the camera in the tailgate. If it was in the bumper I would think the tailgate would block it when it was down anyway.

the same goes for a truck form factor. A car ev (e.g. chevy bolt) might be good most of the time except the once a year you need a truck, you can rent one for $20 from home depot.

but take a look at the dramatically increased time because you have to go out of your way. 11 hours vs 8 hours. 8 hours of driving time instead of 6 hours. In the extended range you can do it in 7 hours with 6 hours of drive time. So in a gas car you can do the trip in about 6 hours, in a...

We have a plugin hybrid that can go 60 miles. The L1 is definitely not enough. If the range was more like 150 then it possibly might be enough. The L1 can basically charge about 23 miles overnight (around 2-3 miles per hour of charging). We just installed an L2 last week and it is much better...

on the east cost it might not be that different, but try austin, tx to Balmorhea state park.

given the battery size there is only so many miles you can get. The small battery is 47kwh. in town you can possibly get 3miles/kwh so around 140. On the highway there is no way. my wifes gle 450e gets about 2.5 miles/kwh in mixed driving.

the great thing about a pickup is that you can throw a bike over the tailgate. I use a bed extender with foam on the tubes, drop the tailgate, and hang my bikes over the bed extender. This is so I dont have to carry around a blanket or whatever.

This is a great point. It is like comparing a new slate to all these used trucks. If you are going to compare to used trucks, then compare to a used slate. EVs drop value fast, so a 2 year old slate might be as low as 12K vs a 40K lightning

I think model 2 is going going to be awd, beefier truck specs. After that, a longer bed with a cap that makes it a 2 row that still has a bed.

If you put a hitch on a civic with no tow rating and it breaks off and your trailer causes accidents, I suspect that your trailer insurance will get denied. Your trailer insurance likely would cover if your trailer got hit and the trailer and contents were damaged.

I agree, still 2 door, awd, heavier duty, under 30K would still put it cheaper than any other EV truck and most ICE trucks.
