Yup. Fourth smallest state by land area in the country but most superfund sites, especially in proximity to where the majority of people live here. But any time the stereotype of us being a polluted mess comes up this sub falls all over itself to excuse it

Best thing I encountered so far (online) was, as I told people that Model 3 doesn't has a emergency handle on the inside for the back doors and people started to say I made this up. Then somebody went out in order to make a picture for proof that it has one ... Well, that person was quite surprised a Model 3 doesn't has an emergency handle for the back doors in the inside. And then people started to argue "maybe it is for safety, so the kids can't open the doors in case of an accident and walk around on the highway without supervision" ...

You’re comparing ICE vehicles, which are very complex machines, to EVs which are inherently simple. An electric motor is frictionless. PCBs are easily replaced. Batteries are also simple.

Also, how’s the rust on your Ram? Have you averaged out how much that truck has and will cost you over its lifetime?

Before yeah. But I just had back surgery so I'm ok with this now. I'm hoping we make it thru without me shoveling out lol

Honestly, I do not find the price of replacing the battery pack to be that onerous. I saw one invoice for a model 3 that was out of warranty. The cost with parts, labor, and taxes was $16,000. Years ago I had the V8 in my Landrover replaced. Parts, labor, and taxes came to $10,000. Yes the Tesla cost more to do, but it is a lot complicated that a regurgitated Buick engine stuffed into an English SUV.
