Quoted from Trekkie1978:

How hot does it get and how cold does it get in your garage?

doesn't get that cold as it's a heated garage, but it does got hot
You can strike those from the list if it bothers you, the other benefits are still enough for me

I was just curious, because I have an unheated garage and I never have to heat or cool the car based on the garage temps.

I can't be the only one that wishes Stern would make a new Corvette game.

I don't either, and I can't with my ICE truck - but it would probably be something I do when I get my EV

I have an insulated but unheated garage attached to my house. I sometimes use my EV in the winter to warm the garage so I can perform some ICE related auto maintenance on one of my other vehicles, works great. Crank the heat, open the doors, come back in 20 mins.

When my house was built, we insulated the garage and installed an electric wall heater that I have set to the low 50's - works well and doesn't run that often

Quoted from paynemic:

Well, you’re new here. The history of the thread, including the name, is deeply ironic. But it’s possible I missed some of your meaning, so I apologize.
Welcome to the thread that goes round and round with the same banter back and forth over and over. Each time someone new sees it and pops in with their view (that’s been beat to death on both sides of the issue).
Full disclosure, I love EVs and started the thread as a place for haters to bring all their angst and keep it out of other, more positive threads (like the Cybertruck thread).

No apologies needed. I’m just here having fun. I got a few good laughs and it’s nice to see a few people lighten up and realize I’m here shit posting funny ev memes and gifs. Someone needs to start a Harry and Megan thread so we can use all that new material for the latest episode!

Have any of you been able to checkout a new 2023 Prius yet? I actually like the look of it.

I never thought I’d ever see those words written, let alone spoken. That said, it looks better than a Pontiac Aztec.

Looks like we're now finally seeing some real-world examples of non-Tesla owners charging at Tesla superchargers in the network. This could really change the game once it's implemented across the whole charging network:

Stale??? This is the most toxic, divisive thread on pinside! The longer it’s open the more and more people, good people in the hobby end up hating, blocking, and ignoring each other. How can something so captivating be considered stale???

Don't say that at Disney. They'll tell you he may well be a woman and just hasn't figured it out yet.

Quoted from titanpenguin:

This is literally called the I hate ev’s thread. I figured it fit perfectly.

Kind of weird. An EV lover started the I Hate EVs thread as sort of a joke and to be a punching bag. You have another thread that's kind of like that you know of.

I would like an EV, but I'm no planet warrior. I want the other benefits if the price is right.

Just wish people weren't so serious here like that other thread we all love.

Funny thing is the Cybertruck thread totally died off after you started this one. It was worth it for Windmillgate.

Hahaha. The windmills were the absolute best.

The cybertruck thread died off at the same time as progress on the cybertruck died off. Sadly. I’m still eager to get mine but I can’t imagine it will be before 2024 or 2025.

The only thing serious in that thread is we seriously don’t care. And occasionally talk about pinball. But mostly random nonsense and f(edit)ery

What kind of a puss blocks other people on an internet DISCUSSION forum? Even with members with whom the conversation has turned nasty, you usually can find some common ground somewhere and even have a few laughs when all is said and done. Never take it personally.

There’s like an army that blocked me. It’s fucking hilarious

From Tesla article in WSJ today:

Musk: He again dis­missed the no­tion that Tesla could strug­gle to find buy­ers. “De­mand for our ve­hi­cles, in terms of de­sire to own them, may as well be in­fi­nite,” he said. 

Meanwhile:

The com­pany, which has re­ported 14 prof­itable quar­ters in a row, slashed ve­hi­cle prices ear­lier this year—some by nearly 20% in the U.S.—amid con­cerns about sag­ging de­mand.

Tesla prices went up, almost monthly, for two years due to the pandemic, chip shortages, etc along with increased prices in materials. Model Y AWD went from $50k to $65k during this 18 month timeframe. Elon even said when they could cut costs again they would.

Now that goods are stabilizing, chips are available, and they've implemented production improvements the prices have come back down and the first thing the media runs to is a demand problem. Nevermind that the new prices are still higher (Model Y AWD) than they were two years ago or that the delivery numbers continue to climb every quarter.
It's a "can't see the forest for the trees" mentality.

On this topic, not everyone realizes this but Tesla does no advertising. They sell most every car they make quickly, often with 2 month (or longer) wait times.

The demand is there.

MRM_4, you really have to downvote that? Come on man, that was some serious fun shit you played along with.

Its amazing that people thought the elements/minerals used in batteries, which are finite and incredibly costly to get from the earth would, in the long term, just be thrown away.

As they say, common sense aint so common anymore.
