Given that I was aiming to be respectful to you, I am going to assume that you are doing so with me here. So assuming that, I hope you are aware that your post comes across as condescending. I was simply stating facts in my post, no beliefs whatsoever.
Alright, I was ignoring the diesel generators posts previously. But, I'd suggest you do a little more digging into this. That was complete misinformation.
Your counterpoint is fair, but it largely depends on how many of those repairs would be defined as maintenance for say, a 5-6 year-old car. By and large, none of that is necessary for EVs. But that aside, the counter to your point would be that, theoretically, EV owners could be building their...
Respectfully, what you have described is really not unique to EVs at all. People buying new cars, conducting little research before doing so, and being surprised by low residual values when they move on has been going on long before EVs were a thing. There's a reason so many financial experts...
Honestly, the testing and research being done right now to eliminate those limitations is awesome. I'm excited to see if it all works out. There are tests being done throughout the country for wireless charging on highways while driving. It's all in the very early stages and will take a while to...
I'm not sure the numbers actually support that, tbh. Sales continue rising on an annual basis and carmakers are continuing to work on ways to generate economies of scale that will ultimately bring prices down while allowing for them to be profitable. EVs are still very much in the early adopter...
Yea, I see it as no different than having fun with any other car out there. A friendly rivalry of sorts. They know they're faster than me, but they also know my car sounds way better. I haven't run into anyone that took any of it too seriously.
I empathize with you. Oftentimes when sharing our opinions, we have a tendency to do so at the expense of others, intentionally or not. It can be very easy to forget that doing so can upset someone, and I think that is what has happened here. I'm sure I've been guilty of doing just that in the...
Alright, I know it's not an S550. But, I'm convinced this one will be appreciated nonetheless. Spotted this today at Target. I certainly didn't need to think twice.
You can try what I did today when I took mine in for the BCM update. Take out your phone and start recording a walk-around video of the car just like they do (capture the mileage and gas level, too). That way you've got one for your own records and they'll be watching you while you slowly cover...
Truthfully, and sorry to give the non-answer answer here, I think only you can decide whether the switch is worth it. As the answers already provided show, everyone is going to feel differently about it, and that includes you. If the idea is at least running through your mind, maybe it's worth...
