Love my EV. For my use case, it's great. A couple things to watch out for that factor into cost calculations
:
Home charging is almost a requirement. Fast charging is almost as expensive as gas (probably because they've dialed it in to be so), slow charging is, well, slow. You really have to plan around slow charging.
I just had to renew my tag and my other vehicles were $21. My EV was $255. The logic is, since EVs are paying for tax on fuel to go towards road works, they have to make up for it elsewhere. I'm fine with this, but I don't drive a lot in a year and $255 is way more than the tax I would have spent for gas. Also, I'm pretty sure gas tax has been suspended in my state. So I'm subsidizing the cost for ICE vehicles. Check your state for rules.
Lastly, (and this may be more impactful for my EV which is kinda performance biased) driving Interstate miles eats up your range a lot more. I used to put the cruise control on 75 MPH pretty much all the time. I've found 65-67 is about the break even point to get the miles I should.
As someone who lives near trains, this just gave me an idea. Why don't we have speakers located at each stop? Then, the conductor can trigger those directional speakers as needed. If those aren't working, then they can hit the "wake up the whole neighborhood" horns.
I just finished Mass Effect Legendary, but, now, I'm playing Expedition 33 that I got on sale. I had taken a step back from RPGs, but this may have re-ignited my love of them.
The thing for me was this predated the PlayStation, so dual analog was not a thing yet. GoldenEye was, to my knowledge, the first to emulate this by using two controllers. We had a ton of fun with that.
I still preferred LAN parties with mouse and keyboard. Lot of work, though.
I can't find any information on this. Can you tell me where you read this so I can get more info?
I do see they're charging $495 for the plastic tub in the frunk now.
Awesome, thanks!
I'm running uBO on Firefox. Maybe you have something else blocking paywalls and I want it!
After reading half the article, they want my email address or a subscription while claiming "This is not a paywall". 🤣
Just walk it by the fire.
I hate to be this guy, but Zebra F-301 for life
I would be happy to pay for that purpose, but it's way more tax than I would pay in fuel for the number of miles I drive.
Plus they've been waiving gas tax to make themselves look better on gas prices. So, right now, I'm subsidizing gas drivers.
You may be able to. I saw this the other day; really cool project: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8pY5Ntd/

I would ask how it's going, but I'll just check back in 2027 when you come up for air.

It's now, literally, a $495 option for the plastic tub.

Time to go through the Internet's pockets and look for loose change.
Autotune the news was great
