Rented a Tesla 3

[bluetoy]

There are plenty of videos on youtube talking about electrify america charge points. If I recall correctly I've seen costs around $100 usd to charge a Rivian. It's not that high here yet but I can tell you it's going to be.

^Basically the “worst of both worlds”, lol.

That is a pretty cool car. Looks like it's the one Rich Rebuilds (on youtube) built. Its very well done, keeping all the Tesla tech but adding an LS manual trans from a Camaro.

Haha —after owning a coyote for five years I'm not sure its any better lol and I now second guess using one for an engine swap.

My discussion with the EV fanatic has once again shown me I'm an idiot for wasting time.

he posted this and declared "See EV's are better".

No context on the type of calls, the age of vehicles any other qualifying info. Nothing but assumptions.

When I pointed this out I got a lengthy word salad and another logical fallacy "declaration of authority" statement.


I'm the idiot for even engaging, and yes that applies here too.

I don’t use YouTube much but I’m pretty sure it was a black dude, I remember him cutting parts off the Camaro donor. It’s a “cool thing to do” but nothing else, the car is basically ruined to anyone in the general public, but most car guys know about it, so that’s something I guess.

EVs hate cold. This is a poor c/p so people don’t need to click a link.

These are very misleading numbers. They do not factor in heaters and snow etc. In reality you can expect more like 40% loss or more.
