You have no idea what you’re talking about, yet keep going. I’m done with this crap. I don’t want to smell gas so I don’t drive gas cars. Knock yourself out with whatever you want to drive.

Road tax is already paid at tag renewal time. How no one seems to realize this that doesn’t drive an EV is beyond me. It costs me $200 per car, per year on top of renewal cost. Next.

Right. Both are still double what a road tax would be if they were gasoline vehicles. I want to hear the case the justifies both charging me double what a gasoline vehicle pays. I guess my “rich” derriere should pay 4x my fair share. Even if they both charged the fair amount separately and...

They’re subsidies. Federal tax law even calls it that. Church it up to someone else.

That's gone with this tax credit expiration as well. They've changed how CAFE is being calculated. The penalties for not meeting the minimums have been greatly reduced and it's cheaper to pay the penalty than it is to pay for credits, effectively cancelling the program.

By the way this is per car. I should receive $900 a year in road tax charges for two cars to cover my fair share? That’s enough to cover 8 cars. @alarmguy Figure out your tax charge on gasoline and tell me what that costs your for your Equinox for 12,000 miles for your average fuel economy.

Federal highway taxes? The states are already punitively taking that share. The Federal government should take that share from the states then. If they actually went after it as they want to at the Federal level I'd see $450 in fees between the state and the Federal level and both are blown...

That's the other end of the problem. The implementation is so different it's nearly impossible to compare the impact. I just want to see these people getting so mad about the credit to actually react to the fact that gasoline refiners are being heavily subsidized to their benefit and it's a...

I guess it depends on needs. I don't use the Tesla charger that can be restarted from the app or maintains the power supply to the car once it hits the set charge limit. I actually have to reset it from the box to charge again if I don't unplug and plug the car again. It cuts all power from...

Now they're just solid cars that happen to make some people angry.

Fair. Hilarious. Honestly the push to get the idea of EVs out there wasn't doing it on its own. It's not a matter of good idea or bad idea, no one knew how they worked. I didn't a credit on the first one. It didn't stop me. I bought two since. I don't want a dirty, expensive ICE vehicle...

Common sense usually is the best approach, or at least you’d hope that’s the caution someone would take.

Mine still has it. It’s part of the tv antenna array on my roof. I don’t use the antenna, but it’s still there. My neighbor’s lightning rod is even taller than mine.

Right. It’s why I fail to see the point to come into THE EV SECTION to crap on EVs. Seems like wasted energy to me.

As far as charging and my wife goes, that’s never been a problem. The plug is 3 feet from the port when her car was parked. She put off getting gas because she hated making the stop. That was my one gripe every time I had to do something to her car. The gas light was always on. Even then I...

There was a bit of a delay on deliveries. I think last month was huge for deliveries. Actual orders still seemed delayed and I ended up switching to an inventory car to get it sooner. I haven’t seen too many in person yet, but I’ve seen a few. There’s definitely real demand for it.

I see what you mean. I thought they grouped sales. I misunderstood. I thought all of these counts came off of registrations. I never dug deeper than that myself.

For that matter my car charging solution has its own ground. That’s how the electrician did it.

Is anyone globally even buying S and X? Cybertruck isn’t available in most markets. If they weren’t selling the Y and 3 I don’t think they’d still be in business. Now I’m not saying that means they shouldn’t release those numbers, I think it just says those models are a blip on the radar of...

I love that the 250 mile figure came up. Just did this one last week for work. One of my locations is 150 miles from home, so 300 miles round trip. Car is rated at 279 miles. I’ve done it 3 times now, no charger at the company supplied hotel and I have made a stop on the return trip of no...
