I shall offer a toast to the bollard that gave its last full measure of devotion.

When did Minnesota become a two party consent state?

I care about charging speed. I've got a J3400 adapter so I can use one of the slow ass tesla not very high speed chargers if it's an emergency.

CCS1 should be the standard.

Adam agrees!

Two deer bedded down in the snow just outside my front door.

Corgis are cute and Nyssa tries, but I never had this problem when Vargen the half Shepard half Husky was around.

"I need an emergency oil delivery."
"We can't do that if you don't have an account."
"I do, I did, you closed it without notice."
"Yes, I see that, but no oil without an account."
"Cool, let's make a new one."
"That must be done through the business office during business hours."

Six years ago I bought 300 gallons of fuel oil for my backup furnace. I have interruptible electric heat with oil backup. I've averaged less than 50 gallons per year and had 100 gallons a month ago. The oil tank ran dry last Saturday. That's how I find out my account has been closed for lack of use.

I'm showing that the 2017 Soul EV came with a 10 year or 100,000 mile warranty on the battery. You've reached neither, so you should be due a replacement battery under warranty.

Thank you for digging into and exposing this.

It was pretty straightforward when I did it 15 months ago. Montana and Wyoming have good coverage on the interstates. The state that sucks is North Dakota, but even that is much improved over the past year.

There is one today. Now you want an electric car.

Cars, EV or ICE, don't damage roads. Road damage goes up as a quartic of axle weight. A single truck can do 1000 times the damage per mile (or more) than an EV or ICE car will.

Thirty-six years here. It recedes but it never goes away.

Batteries are the present.

13 seconds. Damn, I can't math today.

YouTube video by Porsche Ready for takeoff. The Taycan Turbo GT sets a record at Laguna Seca Raceway

17 seconds faster around Laguna Seca than the 5 N, they have a way to go.

They do make very good aircraft! Though you strike me more as the Vision SF50 type.

Range anxiety is based in reality as much as a phobia of marshmallows is.

The trump branded penis extension is a two shot Derringer? That's just a little to on the nose isn't it?

No Active Ride option on the base model and I was hoping for more towing capacity.

When I see them tonight I'll tell them to piss off on your behalf.

If you are on blood thinners you won't get new clots. Bruises galore but no clots. Currently going through something similar, so my commiserations to you.

When I bought the Taycan, I thought I might miss the engine noise. I didn't, but now when I drive one of our ICE cars, I miss the quiet. From a performance standpoint, I can hear and feel the tires in a corner and the instant linear throttle response is amazing.

Barring something specifically for the task look for a "Stanley wonder bar" you might want to put something over the end of the claw, but I've used mine for similar purposes.

looks like a hard winter.

Of the legacy automakers Porsche is at least bringing compelling products to market. The Taycan, Macan EV, and now the Cayenne EV are all top of class products and well suited for the market they serve.

United Healthcare: You will be happy to know we've approved coverage for your ER visit and 3-day hospital stay, but you should have contacted us first to ensure your providers were in network and verified the pricing.

I am quite annoyed that coverage was even a question.

I've been saying for years that CCS is a tool used by politicians to kick the carbon emissions can down the road. There's never going to be CCS in the scale that would be needed to impact the atmospheric level. The math just doesn't work.

When they sent me to the ER last week from urgent care, they didn't let me check alternative pricing to make sure I was getting the best deal. Think of the money I could have saved if I'd sent out a formal RFP.

Key word "looks." The range is terrible, and I say that as someone who thinks most people obsess about range way too much.
