Not up on motorcycles. Is it a triumph legit or in name only ?

If your Tesla had been a dumpster fire you're in a position it would have stung a little to cut your losses and take a hit but not a big deal. Buying a BEV as a long term necessary vehicle, not a toy or without a backup might be more of a risk than the GP understands.

We all know what the OP does. No doubt if he keeps the car he'll detail it within a inch of its life, take 200 photos in front of the brick house, write a short story and make a little money selling it. Props for to him for testing the EV flipping waters. (y)

OP's stated use is shooting at 20 and 40 yards, anything else secondary. An X50 is really unnecessary for shooting but the bit more weight will make them a bit steadier. Also an 8X optic will make your 40 yard target look like it's at 5 yards and a 10X at 4 yards. If you can see shots with a...

Danno beat me to it by 2 minutes.

To be very clear, we can’t all afford a 100k vehicle, never could and never will. If you can that’s great, hope you get a nice one. 👍🏻

Made 5 pages before the rants finally begin. To be clear, EV in the case of this thread includes EV, HEV, PHEV. You own an EV of some flavor? EV owners don't go on about what is used to make their electricity. They go on about charging at home, not going to gas stations, how fast they are...

Shouldn't this conversation start when EVs became a real buying choice like maybe when Teslas became available for real? The Model S in 2012?

Huh? Source of electricity has never entered a conversation we've had about EVs. The EV owners on BITOG never mention source of the electricity they're using. (Except JeffK bragging about his solar farm. )

You bring up an interesting question. What is the end efficiency of producing and burning gas and in an ICE vehicle vs the end efficiency of producing a kwh of electricity and using it in an EV? I see 4kwh as the amount of energy needed to produce a gallon of gas. There has to be an overall...

It's good to keep your motor skills and brain functions working as you get older. Keep at it.;) Too bad you didn't look at the diagram first. 😖

We have 2 vehicles, 2021 GMC Sierra HD truck and 02 Jeep Wrangler. Jeep is daily around town driver and offroad exploring ride. Truck tows the travel trailer and is used if going somewhere out of town. We're retired and most trips are under 25 miles round trip. Sometime in the next couple...

The condition of the whole truck and bed would dispute that. Some would say it's nicely broken in.

Not considering a car. If we were there are few cars lower on the list of cars I wouldn’t own than a fiat 500, ICE or EV. Thanks.

Yeah these turn into a dogpile but the dealer in question needs some bashing it sounds like.
