My friend's drop dead gorgeous BMW i8 plays engine sounds through the radio.

Well, you are wrong. Regardless, CA is the largest non-nation economy in the world, by far, currently between Germany and Japan. There is a reson for it. California's economy is largely driven by private businesses and free markets, making it a powerful capitalist system. That enables...

You seem to be making it a competition. I'm not sure you get to make the rules. My EV is a lot more than a nice runaround. It's amazing.

I have a 65 442, 68 Corvette Roadster 427 and a 24 M3P. I guess I just don't get it, huh? Not sure what it will take... Past cars include a 66 GTO, 2 early FireChickens, 4 Vettes, lotsa pickups, especially old ones.

The depreciation on EVs is crazy, no doubt. I knew that going in when we bought the '18 Moel 3 Mid Range. Well, maybe not as bad as it was gonna be... Ha!

The new Tundra lack of quality is stunning. Our trusty old 2001 only has about 220K and has never seen the inside of the garage, except for minor work like oil changes, brakes, etc. It ain't for sale. My BIL got a 2020ish F-150 with the bigger V6 and 10 speed; it's beautiful! He loves it; I've...

Remember the days when you could order an Impala with whatever combinations of options? The GM Bill of Materials was off the freakin' chart. Was it Toyota who started groups? I believe manufacturers will move to simplified options, GigaPress style frames, etc. This enables automation...

I was convinced our first Model 3 was a nice toy, around town car, etc. I was wrong. The Model 3 is amazing. Period. I have never been so satisfied with a car. I am planning on taking a spin in the new Juniper in the just-opened Los Gatos Tesla store (at the site of the former Moore GMC...

Ford put America into cars with it's Highland Park plant. It was the first factory in history to assemble automobiles on a moving assembly line. It pains me to see their troubles.

Sure there are challenges. But most modern cars have connectivity. There could be a cell phone app... Make it an annual manual entry with a 3 year (or 5 year) true up. And at time of sale. Who knows? You're right; I don't know much about all the state's requirements. But if we are gonna charge...

Charging at home, especially with solar, has to be experienced to be appreciated. It sounds silly, but it would be a struggle for me to buy another ICE vehicle, unless it's a PU. I have grown to hate going to gas stations, and then there's the bill... Ouch!

You buy the vehicle, not the fuel pump. Ford gets the black eye.

Sure, that's why there has to be teeth in the system.

I run MaxLife in my '01 Tundra and a pair of '06 Corollas.

Why not just report it? We are so connected today, it should be a snap. Software is cheap and allows for standardization. Standards make our lives easy. Otherwise you get a bazillion systems that don't talk to each other and are fair to no one.

I would check your insurance first

People love the RAV4. I service a friend's newer hybrid; it rides less squishy than the earlier Toyotas. As @ecotourist posted, at least check out the Mazdas; they seem to offer a lot for the $$. Good luck.

You have no idea...

Consumption yes, but not of electricity. Mileage and weight. That's way too complicated (too many reporting sources) and far too general math. Just report mileage annually.

Teslas, but not sure where you classify them. I would like to see an American material content constraint as well.
