I am old enough to remember when Toyota released the first Prius and the naysayers all came out against that too. Unproven tech, it will never pay for itself, the car is ugly...ok, I agree with the ugly part. Regardless, many of those naysayers would gladly have a hybrid like the Prius now... -

Yeah, when we go to Dubuque we take that route but family lives west of Dubuque so there would be some back tracking. I need to play with the routing a bit more. -

When fully charged, windows up, and no climate controls on I can get about 220 miles on a full charge. But once I pull out of the garage and the real world hits not so much. I left Dyersville for Ankeny recently with 100 percent charge and drove West on Hwy 20 and the range indicator was under... -

Am thinking of an additional car this summer as we added a new driver in the house. We have a 2025 Subaru Solterra and my wife wants me to get an ICE car. Instead I am seriously considering getting another EV. The Subaru Trailseeker is bigger and has better range than the Solterra (man, the... -

Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion
My 14 yo saw a video of smoking cream cheese and wanted to try it yesterday. We did two bricks - everything bagel and Texas Pete Dust. Excellent. -

No More Schlitz
Yeah, that was about the time that the brewery started messing with the recipe. They tried to cut corners to pad the bottom line and it really impaired the quality of their beer. Your experience was common. From Wikipedia: By 1967, the company's president and chairman was August Uihlein's... -

Blissfully Oblivious: Songs Many Misunderstand
Interesting you say that. I have always interpreted Chuck Berry's Memphis Tennessee as a story of a young boy who's family moved to Memphis and he longed to see his childhood friend Marie. My wife absolutely disagrees and thinks it is a song about a broken marriage and a father hoping to... -

Funny thing about this app is it doesn't show all the available chargers. I found the same with ChargePoint app. My Apple Maps sometimes shows chargers available the others do not. Very strange. -

Is there a movie star that you really don't care for?
I never thought of it like that but you are correct. Having said that Ferrell has some great movies and some terrible movies and some ok. Step Brothers and the Other Guys are great movies. He was ok in Old School. Anchorman is pretty good. Outside of those... -

I can see this tech working on delivery trucks like what Homemakers and the like drive around with. They don’t stray too far from the warehouse and the freight weight isn’t excessive. -

When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
What make and model do you own? As I mentioned up thread I am considering a Ford Maverick, however, I am wondering if that is stupid and I should instead be looking at a PHEV. What is turning me off to the Maverick is back seat comfort. If that is going to be our long distance driving vehicle...
