You still prefer the V6 over the new turbo?
Was diceing it up with a guy in a new accord on the way back from Atl...one night... that lil turbo was kind of beastly in the 60-120 range... I want a cheap electric or hybrid for my daily commute... first gen Chevy volt maybe....

Personally I do. To me it's not about tuning potential as most wont tune them anyway. And the V6, manual coupes are still faster than the 2.0s stock for stock so they dont really impress me. It's more about the driving experience. The sound, the predictably, and longterm reliability of the J35 and J37s will always trump any 4 cylinder with boost. That's not to say that they're bad, just for a daily... I'd rather have a V6 over the 2.0s. Now, I plan on nodding the Type-R and dailying the Accord so if it blows up then I can fix it when I have the time and money.

Buying an ev car now makes no financial sense. You could never use the price premium of an ev car in gas consumption over the life of any car.
a BMWm550 is $86k. A Tesla performance is $110k. You’d never spend$24k premium on extra gas. Plus the Tesla look like a low rent Chevy inside

TelsA is not the only ev on the market... In fact you can buy 2 Chevy bolts for the same price of that bmw you were talking about and still have change left over... So a car for you and your significant other plus change.. Plus ull never spend money on gas or oil change ever again.. Guess the ev is worth it now when you put the frugal spin on it and show the world it's more than one option beside telsa

Bullshit .

It is bullshit to those that do not know it. Mel Gibson used to brag about his EV. He said the only thing you have to worry about is speeding tickets because the car ran so quiet but was so powerful.
Also a scientist came up with a battery that could run 60 days straight without a generator. He went to get a patent and the government attacked him and made it where he can no longer work on inventing batteries.
The rich white devils that rule the earth right now are real animals. They are not human. They are animals in human form.
But anyway people made the mistake of going to jail after they took the cars and not before. What I mean by that is that they were told they had to bring the cars back or go to jail. One white dude kept hiding his car. They gave him a dead line. He finally took it back the last day of the deadline. But after people were forced to bring their cars back. Some tried to protest. They crushed and shredded all those cars except for four of them. They put four of them in a museum. But they took the engine and ignition out so nobody could duplicate them. One white lady go to the museum once a month to visit the car she use to have.

100 years ago they had electric cars. When I was a kid we use to have solar watches you hold in the sun to charge. When the EV's were here over 15 years ago I saw a dude driving a solar car before they outlawed them.

My concern is:
Availability of charging stations.
Cost to replace batteries.
Lifespan of batteries.

Verses engine troubles like changing your oil, air filters, problems with your fuel injection system, valves or lifters tapping, overheating, leaking hoses. Everything on wheels will eventually breaks down.

Things like stoves, refrigerators, water heaters and these items don't even go anyplace they just sit there, So what's your point?

By now that type of information is available at your dealerships and online.

My bad, I thought that we were talking about similar vehicles. If that’s the case, a scooter is cheaper and so is walking.

Compare the price of the volt to a loaded 2020 corolla.

Nothing in thread title said one option of cars.. It's said gas or electric which means any of the 1000s of gas cars available on the market and the few electric that are on the market... If somebody said what's your next phone guess what the phone world is bigger than iPhone and galaxy... You came in here to down telsa when the ev game is much more than them... Now you trying to be sarcastic cause your argument went nowhere.. It's ok juss know that in the world there's various products on the shelf to choose from

My nigha.... the only laws that have stopped electric cars are the laws of economics.

Naw they got a car made by an American car dealership but it is against the law to sell them in America because they get such good gas mileage. In California they had outlawed the EV's. The same people that sell the gas and oil, they also make and sell spark plugs, oil filters, etc.
The only reason they have changed things is because they have figured out how to keep the money going there way. When they first outlawed the Ev's there were people that still had electric cars. But these people built them themselves. And they charged them at home. But as far as mass producing EV'S the oil companies and their powerful connections like Bush, Chaney,etc. No they were not going for it.
It should not be shocking that they outlawed them. People protested hard. So for years they been working on their plan for shutting them up. Shit man these people get away with every thing else I do not see it as impossible for them to outlaw them until they got the money going their way. And that Tesla by it being named after a white man I felt they would not be trying to hid or stop that.
The laws of economics is keeping that money away from some of us. Check out this whole documentary and tell me what you think. Sony made the documentary and then they came back with return of the electric car and that documentary was bullshit. Seem like Sony got the message of helping them. You saw in the other video the people that had the cars and was upset when they had to bring them back. And in this documentary you will see them trying to stop them from crushing and destroying cars they want to buy. They went thru laws to create why they was taking them. It is clear that they did a lot of shit to end that quick move they almost made on the oil companies. Seem like ain't nobody got no power but these rich powerful devils.

If it were economically feasible... someone outside of the U.S. would have done it.

There were some electric cars outside of the U.S.. Also there were American made cars that are illegal to be sold in America because they get such good gas mileage. They are going to always have a comfortable amount on the gas price for them to keep moving up in profits.
There were two different countries that have had a program with rich white people for a lot of years where they have solar panels on their roofs that they use for power. But they also have he giant lithium batteries in them to store energy to sell to the utility companies. So the poorer masses are the only ones still tied to the utility companies. Here in America you would think that homes and apartments would have solar panels. Seem like the small town I live in they are at work trying to confuse the technology. They have solar panels that belong to the utility companies and they use them for some reason. Is it to lower everybody bill in 5 or 10 years? Or is it to keep people tied to them? Some years back they said everybody bill would start going down because they installed some new metors that are read by satellite instead of hiring someone to go out and read them. They lied the damn bills went up more.
 
Good ass question. I'm in the market for a SUV. If electric is the next big tech innovation, I'll hold off. But it needs to be 1-2 years away and not 7... Or else it's gas.

Tight....
Needs some Vossen or Forgiato' s though..
Wait.....what????
Fisker will offer several alternatives, from leasing ($2999 down, $379 per month) to user-determined ownership periods (return the car in one month or several years). Insurance will be available through a Fisker owner's app. Anyone can plunk down a $250 deposit for one, however.

You're prolly on point with the cost analysis on gas costs over the life of the vehicle...not sure if a crazy hike in gas would even make a difference, but aren't there other savings in maintenance on an ev? Oil changes on whips are a grip..some cases $100...

The thing I've never heard is how much it costs to charge a car at home? Is it like running your AC everyday year round? How much of a bump is it to your electric bill?

The Tesla Cybertruck is gaining respect among real pickup truck owners

The Tesla Cybertruck is arguably one of the most controversial vehicles to come out of the auto industry in recent years. Designed unlike any other pickup in the market, the Cybertruck was so polarizing that it resulted in both acclaim and outright hate when it was unveiled. Yet if the results...

I was thinking this until they decided to go to a more conventional design.

Cool. What exact type and specs do you have?
How much has it added to you light bill per month?
How is the handling of the car ? Are there any squeaks in it?
I’m actually considering it because of my 80 mile a day commute.

They need to get better with the prices … other than being better for the environment .... the prices negate pretty much what you'd save versus gas … :dunno:

Yep. About 8yrs ago I was researching it, even with the money I spent on a long commute, buying an EV wasn't cost effective. Plus having to charge a battery is not convenient. EVs will make sense if you never have to charge the battery or if it charges as fast as filling up your tank.

Keep in mind the laws of supply and demand... When everyone starts plugging in every night...utlity companies are going to get theirs..
 
crazy this was a debate a few months ago and in this possible new world not it isnt so much. Being able to not solely rely on gas is the way to go. Getting a hybrid is the smartest move.

2020 model 3 performance, it only added 20 +/- to my electric bill. The car is awesome, instant torque and acceleration and packed with so much technology.The car is constantly getting updates so it’s getting better after the free active software upgrades. I have zero regrets and going to get the cyber truck next year also

Did you lease it? If so, what can someone expect on the lease figures? You may PM me if you prefer. Thanks

Hybrid still requires gas and you now have to worry about two motors. hybrid doesn't have the torque of a full EV either.
