    Good Stuff You Bought

    Strange, those two activities are pretty intertwined in my experience. Just don’t over-torque any bolts. 😁

    The electric scooter (eScooter) thread

    I was looking at the Ghost for the longest time. Really great scooter and it looks good, too.

    I'm not even a muscle car guy but I want this charger that needs a charger.

    I share your hope! There’s so much value in the lower cost EVs like the Leaf, Bolt and Kona. They’re so well packaged for the price and they give customers who may have been looking at ICE vehicles another option for something that runs cleaner, more efficiently with a lot less fuel costs.

    I’m not a motorbiker but if I was, this would definitely be a consideration.

    I have sat in a 2019 Bolt and I must agree that the seats were pretty firm (even compared to my sporty Fiat Abarth). The EUV has much better seats but is definitely nowhere Volvo quality. The interior is not luxurious by any means but the touch points are nicer than any car I’ve owned. And the...

    Thanks for that! A fully loaded Premier is around $38k. That’s a lot of money for an entry level EV but if one chooses to keep it simple, the regular Bolt EV is right under $27k before states incentives.

    It doesn’t sticker anywhere close to $47k. If you pay dealership add ons and market adjustment or you have very bad credit, then you might be paying that much. Do you have bad credit?

    The LG battery recall is pretty well publicized.

    This is probably one of my favorite videos on the Rivian. I can’t really name any other vehicle that is so versatile.

    Some assumptions on my part here but here it goes. 41000 MSRP - 8500 DOWN - 6300 CUSTOMER CASH. I combined the down+customer cash because that's how financing will treat it. And I don't know what your sales tax is but in this example I used 8.5%. If the estimated monthly they gave you is...

    The Launch Edition does indeed have every option. $47k out the door still seems really high but a lot of that depends on sales tax and financing rate at that point. If they're not charging a "market adjustment", then they're really screwing you on the financing. Did they give you a itemized...

    That seems really high, even for the Bolt EUV Premier with every option. But then again, I don't know what your sales tax is. Sounds like they're definitely charging a "market adjustment". A top trim Bolt EUV is less than $38,000 with all options minus dealer fees and taxes.

    Do you know how to use that term correctly? 😆 There’s a handful of us here sharing our experiences and overall happiness with electric cars but you’re dismissing that and still saying “it doesn’t work”? Let’s guess who has actual “confirmation bias”. I’m not even here advocating for the death of...

    For who? You're making some very general statements. No doubt that EVs are not for everyone. For a large chunk of the population who are able to fully charge while they are sleeping and occasionally do 500 mile roadtrips, EVs are already working. Even apartment dwellers who don't have access...

    Oh, I believe you about your climate. I still don't think many folks have a need to haul a trailer daily for long distances. And if you so happen to be a person that requires a vehicle that can tow for hundreds of miles per day, I'll concede that an ICE vehicle will do that job better than an...

    You know what’s weird? I’ve seen dozens (yes really) of Rivians and a handful of Lucid Airs but only one other EUV. And this is in California. The car that always makes my head turn is the Ioniq 5 though.

    If pulling a trailer in the dead of winter is 95% of your uses, absolutely do no opt for an EV pickup. Even then, pre-conditioning the battery negates a lot of the energy loss. And I highly doubt that most of the population are Ice Road Truckers. This is like telling someone who lives in the...

    I've got no skin in the game and am not brand loyal. I've owned Honda, Acura, Volkswagen, Volvo, BMW and Fiat products. They all have their bad and good. It's easy to pop in an article (BTW the author concludes with: "I am not one to tell people what to do, but if it were me, I’d take the...
