Holy cherry picking, Batman. That was referencing a model that was as niche as possible with only 118 total units ever made. Of course an inordinate number of them would go to gear freaks and collectors which would jack up the percentage still around astronomically.
I feel like that would be a little weird. I'm waiting until there are more options. The Kia EV9 and some Rivan models may be future considerations, but with where FSD is currently at, I'm kind of stuck with keeping the Telluride. It's sad that there is nothing else on the horizon for Tesla that interests me.
I want to ride on this! I'm surprised I haven't seen it tooling around the RV lot next to JJ's motorized beer cooler.
Great info, thanks. I swear a couple of years ago MidAmerican told me it wasn't an option. My water heater(not smart) is also electric so I may need to do something with that as well.
What is the difference in rates for this? I am with midland and they have said this is probably going to happen sometime.
That is but one example using the resources that EV proponents are providing. I have a 65 Mustang and there are over 350 thousand of them still on the road today. That’s 1/3 of all produced. Translate that to other classics and then include 70’s cars and you see there are lots of classic vehicles on the road.
We currently pay ~12 perkwh in the summer
That's fair. But the point of the discussion about longevity was about reliability. Sure there are going to be classic cars that people will go through all manner of hoops to keep running and only drive them on Sundays around the neighborhood or in the local 4th of July parade. Older cars generally breakdown and go out or service over time. It is true for EVs and it is true for ICE vehicles. And it will probably be even more true going forward as manufacturers continue to take shortcuts to keep sticker prices down or increase profits depending on who you ask.
I'm in the middle of restoring a 69 Mustang so I like seeing them but this isn't the place. It's like showing your wife a picture from your date with your side piece.This would be a great post in an antiques car thread. You'd definitely get more views as a lot of people interested in this post are avoiding this thread like the plague.
Every ten years or so is my average do need to get up to speed more and this thread is pretty useful for that.
You could always upgrade to a Porsche taycan or audi e-tron gt.Back on topic, I again have not purchased an EV today. Not particularity meaningful since the last vehicle purchase was spring 2016.
Got to get an electrician out at some point since house needs a good charging line to the garage and maybe a generator setup for emergency power. "New" box setup when I remodeled in 2002 is full.
For somebody that doesn't drive a lot you might want to look at a Nissan Leaf. Occasionally you can get a screaming deal on those. They have pretty poor range but it doesn't sound like you need that.Pretty spendy for a guy who only drives like 4500 miles a year now.
For as little as I drive now I probably need to rethink near-luxury level versus basic reliable-mobile. Would still want a car with a color paint color though.
