Don't forget to bring an extension cord.

It does.

Has anything untruthful ever come out of China?!? You can easily check with a voltmeter, by the way. Harbor Freight used to give those away for free.

It could be Motor Trend's Car of the Year (and maybe it will be), but I still wouldn't want one. Unless...it comes with a 6.4 and the other needed parts in a crate, and there's a $60,000 credit for returning all the EV crap.

Alright, at a 60% higher price they must be about as good as it gets.

Oops, double post. Okay, apparently not after all. So you're okay with a $5 lowest possible bidder charger??

Lithium battery and and Harbor Freight charger.... You have much bigger balls than I do. Or even more fire extinguishers.

I think the record was three months. Most of them only seem to tolerate a month or so before getting down to 12.4 volts, which is as low as I'll let a battery get. That's when sulfation starts doing its thing.

Yep, that's the quick and easy way to do it.

Cold doesn't kill batteries, but heat usually does. Just ask the poor guys living in Florida or Arizona. Either way, you can't leave a late model FCA/Stellantis vehicle (or most other ones) sitting for months without the battery being on a good maintainer or solar charger.

I know where the EV's place is, and it's definitely nowhere near here.

Yup. We have three Pentastars, and no complaints.

Even without the unavoidable losses of changing energy from one form to another, it still takes a certain amount of energy to perform a given task. I'm a bit surprised that the little V6 is enough for the job. Well, it probably works okay as long as there are no long grades or any towing...

Technically fast vehicles can be plenty heavy. Think land speed. That Tesla is probably slower after removal of that many body panels, creating tons (no pun intended) of aero drag.

Surely they use the finest DOT approved optics and bulbs available. Unlike the $1,600+ headlights I got for my Ram, from a large and well known company. Although, while the parts were not of bad quality, three out of three sets had at least one projector clocked wrong. And unfortunately in the...

Okay, but how is the food?

Wonder if 2ndAmend knows that Cole hacked his account.

Oops, forgot to answer the part about being ashamed. Since I know the local tow truck driver, who makes good money rescuing people that overestimated their EV's capabilities and got stranded around here, it would be quite embarrassing to have to call him when running out of electrons. Of...

My '19 Durango is my beater, and if I have to park somewhere not great or the weather is bad, that's what I take. Otherwise it's the Challenger GT AWD. Or the TRX. Or if I'm lucky, the 'Cat. Not up on the Plaid and what one can do, but around here it's really more important to have good...

Okay, I could get to places quickly (which I already can, without being ashamed of what I'm driving), but then I couldn't get back home again. For example, yesterday was a visit with the dermatologist (part of my weight loss program), a typical just under 200 mile roundtrip. That's well within...
