at the same time what is the MSRP cost of an EV vs comparable vehicle? and average milage?
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

the Mach joke. yeah that is an abomination of name. along with the Blazer for Chevy. you wouldn't see as much hate for either with other names.
MachE? They've been out for a couple yrs at least. 1st one I saw was at KTRIP in FD by Iowa Central.
have you seen they are killing the frunk to cut cost by $400?
Yes, we will get an EV...but I have a 2009 Honda Pilot and I absolutely love it. 2nd pilot we've had. First one we were rear-ended. The repair shop guy said Pilots are like a tank. One of the best vehicles they've seen come through. We've got ~245,000 miles on it and I drove it to KC a couple months back.
Also I need to say this. Wind, solar and battery will win.
Consumer Reports used to publish reliability/problem data broken down by model, by year, with about 15 different subsystems (engine, transmission, electrical, etc) with problem rates on a 5 point scale. Those were the days.
Meh. My last car I got one without a sunroof and without a heated steering wheel - two things that are a deal breaker for Mrs. Velo. But hey, I live in Minnesota, my hands are supposed to be always cold.
I'm just giving him a hard time, we hung out back in the days before kids and adulting.
Sunroofs are overrated. Learned that with my first car that had one. They don't provide that "open air" experience IMO. My current car has one, and it's been a little leaky - not ideal in western WA. Seems to be fixed now heading into spring, but still. I bought the car in spite of the sunroof, not because of it.
The leaks were due to clogged drain lines. Got a little water in the passenger compartment, and a lot in the trunk - like an inch of water in the spare tire well. Was able to clear them with some help from YouTube. Love the car other than the sunroof. (2009 Cadillac CTS, 3.6L 300hp, 130k miles, bought last fall).
I’ve never enjoyed a sunroof for whatever reason. Certainly doesn’t replicate a Wrangler or a convertible in any way.
Had a model Y for 5 years now, never once used the frunk. I totally forget it's there. I guess I could use it to hide my wifes xmas presents.
I use it when I'm talking out pizza, so the smell doesn't get in the car. I also keep a squeegee in there to clean my windshield. But yeah, rarely use it.
it's the one of 2 options my car doesn't have, but the wife has had to have it on both of her SUVs we've bought. It's nice every once in a while but otherwise I could care less to and would rather have the headroom.
yeah just a weird cost cutting measure to save a small amount. they'll still have to keep the tooling as it is an option so what's the point?
