It's a terrible picture, I know. 😁 I'm just excited to share. It's a Bolt EUV. And yes, I'm looking forward to more of what you mentioned!

We took it home yesterday. The bright blue metallic really pops. It really caught my attention when I arrived at the dealership lot. I've already gotten used to the one-pedal driving but definitely will need some time to get smoother. It's pretty fun, not quite as fun as driving a manual but fun...

That Avadar looks like a nice value if you're not taking it off jumps. The components aren't great but they're serviceable and can be upgraded as they wear. It looks to have the Bofeili middrive that the Luna Stealth and some of N+ bikes use.

I'm very, very jealous. Here in California with the very mis-managed PG&E, it's $.24 off peak.

I actually was on their list. The waitlist for the Ioniq 5 I wanted (AWD, SEL) was about 8 months long, which isn’t bad. But I also got a follow up text saying they were no longer selling to buyers outside of a 3 county radius. I found that many other dealerships that weren’t charging a “market...

There's a handful of them for sale on eBay. Still pricey at ~$220.

Thank you for that. I think it’s helpful to read all of it.

Looks like you're threatening the geek. 😁

I'm just going to grow my sideburns out.

Does the saddle bag have a built in mount? I do love the versatility of Garmin mounts. It's almost on par with the ubiquitous GoPro mount. Here's an "out-front" mount that I use on the Burley:

Excellent read. Thank you! I'll do a deep-dive into battery chemistry at some point but I've read that it's the LFP batteries in the Nissan Leaf and Tesla M3 RWD that are safe to keep at 100% but this practice may not be optimal for other Lithium Ion chemistries. Either way, I'll be using the...

Bummer about the issues. The bike looks fantastic, though and I bet it rides better than ever. If/when I need to change out my wheels, I think I'll go with 650B for even more suppleness.

For our uses, it’s going to be a great car, too. My commute or visiting family is going to be around 70-90 miles round trip so we won’t even need to charge daily. But I’ll probably plug in every night to 80% for those “just in case” situations. This car isn’t meant for long road trips so...

Yes. The 240v home AC charging speed isn’t the issue as it’s pretty much on par with every other manufacturer. Where it falls short is DC fast charging. It tops out at 55kw which means that going from 10%-80% will be at least a 45-50 minute rest stop on road trips. That will be fine if you’re...

I would love to just be able to order a car via a website instead of getting it from a dealership. But the brands that offer that right now (Rivian, Tesla) are out of my responsible price-range. :p

We ended up putting a deposit on a Bolt EUV. I think it's a great value for the current price. It will hopefully land at the dealership some time next month. I'm still a bit put off by the "slow" DC charging but if I'm honest with myself, 80% of it's use will be for my long commute and not...

Thank you for the good words! Most of my recreational rides are with my toddlers so it’s hard to keep them in line. I don’t think I could look out for them while flying just yet. But yes, I’ll probably bring it with me on my next solo ride. 😊

Are you using Litchi? I used to drone quite a bit before having kids. This one is from a while back. Litchi is pretty amazing and I’ve only scratched the surface. I still have my Mavic Pro around but I haven’t used it in about 4 years.

So green. This is what California looks like right now.

We live in the San Francisco Bay Area. For a long time it felt like an impossibility. But my wife and I had the same goal and really changed our spending habits for a good 3-4 years before we seriously looked around. We got rid of our debt and saved up a decent down payment. We were looking at...
