I'd say the short answer: in the here-and-now, it's no longer competitive as a viable passenger car / consumer technology given the current state of BEVs (just like you said).
I say consumer since I think there's some vertical application, heavy machinery, maybe shipping, etc., where there's...
Dude, it's all good. You posted some insurance costs in a vacuum, it's only relevant vs. the cost for ICE vehicles in the same segment (if the concept is comparing insurance).
I was showing you that my ICE to EV insurance costs remained more or less the same. Because there's no radical...
I honestly have no idea what all that additional italicized text beyond what I quoted above is about. You posted an article, I posted my actual insurance costs as another discussion point. I even looked up the exact rates for accuracy.
Right, post something on a public forum and another...
We shopped 3-row SUVs to replace ours when the lease came up this past April, then we said, screw the 3rd row and scored a Wrangler 4xe :D
Anyway, from my brief research ...
The Kia Telluride/Hyundai Palisade twins are probably the best bang-for-the-buck when you factor in space, features...
Not even going to wade into the stupidity in those couple of other EV related threads, let them continue to post pics of a dumb fuck wouldn't even know which end of a firearm to point ... but it is sweet some of them like shirtless pics of that soft bodied halfwit. :D
I'll just post this here...
The reason was to give you a chance to qualify your supposed SME.
If I wanted to spend 15 minutes and find out where you work, well, I would, but I just don't care that much - your own lack of clarification tells me everything I need to know.
Sounds like you're working the breakfast shift today!
How exactly do these sorts of replies - for example:
"I'm a software engineer."
"I'm a neurologist."
"I'm an ASE certified mechanic at a dealer."
... or even your training/education and a general occupation area, i.e.,
"I have an MS in Biology and I'm a consulting Biophysicist. "
...
There was zero issues operating the car. That only prevented remote access (i.e., checking your battery from the app, or pre-heating the interior). You could still, without any issues, unlock/drive your car with your phone (BT or NFC) or a key card or a key fob.
Cute headline, The Guardian...
My favorite part isn't the content, but the fact it's a photo ... of a display ... of an image ... of text ...
:crackup:
I like the artistic perspective too.
So you're using this example as a framing device for your own concerns, the latter being the following scenario:
Several years from now, you buy a new car, and at this point in the future, the only new car offerings are EVs.
You begrudgingly purchase this shiny new EV from Evil Corp - that at...
Yeah, parts_is_parts, so to speak. A regen brake system has ICs, wiring harnesses, etc., not unlike every other vehicle on the road. And it's not like vehicles becoming very complex is something unique to EVs. My SILs X1 isn't an EV but it's got on-the-fly transmission decoupling (for...
