chakoo Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I want to get an EV sometime after my building installs chargers (sometime later this year), it will not be a Tesla. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPiranha Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I plan on running my Mazda until it dies/I suddenly come into a ton of money for some reason. I’m hoping that by that time the Rivian R3 will be out and vaguely affordable as my kids will be old enough that I won’t need a car seat or stroller anymore and I’ll need way less specialty crap when traveling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, looks great. We're a one-car household so EVs are a bit trickier (since our city is also cold 7+ months of the year, and very poor highway charging infrastructure). Our PHEV is perfect right now since it's 90% functionally an EV, but I'm hoping that by 2027-2028 (likely when we'll replace the Prius Prime) EVs will have advanced a tiny bit (mostly on price) and my city's infrastructure will be better!

Brian Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I see a place near by has a 2023 Genesis GV60 Advanced AWD for $45k. I’m gonna check it out this weekend.

Yeah, for the foreseeable future there’s absolutely no way we could be a one car household, my wife and I work an hour apart from each other. I’d be happy to go EV knowing that we’d still have her gas car to fall back on as I just drive to work and back and that’s it. Any longer trips I make regularly would still fall well within the range of most EVs with time to spare and there are fast chargers all over the place.

I was having a very difficult time with my mental health. Have I been that way recently since my medication change and getting a new therapist? You're a cold mother fucker sitting on your high horse like you're some political scholar. You read and watch the news like everyone else. Get over yourself dude. You're from Canada too which makes you even more laughable in how wrapped up you are on this board and politics. I don't say anything pro Trump or Musk except the one time a long while back. I learned from my mistake and moved on. Everyone else did too. This is an extremely difficult board to share opinions on when 100% of the people are woke liberals. Just shut your mouth and block me you fuckin loser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any longer trips I make regularly would still fall well within the range of most EVs with time to spare and there are fast chargers all over the place. We're super fortunate in that she works from home 100% of the time, and my work is only a 10-15 minute drive. From April-October I am using my PHEV in EV mode probably 95% of the time, but unfortunately winter still sucks (mainly because EV range is reduced by about 50%). I feel like EVs are creeping closer to being suitable for northern climates, the biggest hurdle is the ability to very quickly charge when driving longer distances. There is no room for error when it's -40C and it's 7+ hours between cities on the highway. In a gas car you aren't going to run out of gas, and you can free heat for basically days if you idle it every few hours (if you end up in the ditch, etc). With an EV, running the heater alone can deplete a battery in hours, so much more dangerous if there are long stretches between chargers.

I've seen videos of a guy in Australia with a Tesla who mounted a diesel generator to his trunk. He runs the generator into a level 2/3 charger, which then charges the battery as he drives. This lets him cross the desert he uses. It's...a very dumb decision in his case, as generators are not efficient burners. However, in principal you could do the same!

Ricofoley Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 You can see the dip in the stock when the story broke and then the immediate recovery when Elon denied it, even though as you say the story was well-sourced and the denial was just a single tweet. It shows how much of Tesla's stock price is just complete blind faith that Elon is real-life Tony Stark.
