| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 165 Posts: 6377 | wait till you have to replace one in an EV if you get one of those, I wonder which one is $5k and which is 15? there's more good stuff in the article. It makes it sound nuts to have one in a state with cold winters [you might decide to not even use the heater]. You'd want two cars maybe, internal combustion for winter, the EV for only in summer https://www.greencars.com/guides/definitive-guide-to-electric-car-batteries-range I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

Our bodies organs did not evolve eating sugar, we have no defense against it. Europeans ate very little sugar until they discovered the new world and sugarcane. Before that they got some sugar from beets but most of it came from honey. I stopped eating sugar in1973 I have eaten nothing where sugar is above the fifth ingredient and usually not even then. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

For Tesla, it’s 8 years or 100k miles warranty. So, it might be as likely to depreciate for battery usage rather than replacing it yourself. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

I swear I don't worry about being tagged as, I dunno, not cooperating with the idea of being 'less white', not Woke, or whatever. Maybe I'll mull over that on the way to the Gulag when my turn comes. Of course, if I was still working it would be one thing. New York Post also covered the story about Disney going all-in on being Woke and enacting critical race theory these days.
