Its exactly how much it will cost if they go ahead with the contract they've entered with the government, otherwise face penalties unless it gets renegotiated. I don't see your point, even if it goes up double its still significantly cheaper than other forms of generation and gets significantly less in subsidies from the government than oil and gas. You're arguing over something that, ultimately, doesn't matter

Yeah I know we're talking about whether or not it makes sense for everyone to adopt EVs

and our biggest issue is rental properties not having the ability to charge and some of them having street parking as the exclusive

having no ability to charge at home at reduced rates meaning your limited to DC fast charging which all of a sudden makes an EV cost the same per mile as an ice vehicle

Same thing happens in the dirty burners sector, hinkley point has had to renovate it's strike price a number of times, currently sitting at 92 last I checked, and this is still cheaper than gas and oil producers. It's pretty common to try and renegotiate the strike price as prices increase and is why the one they're building up north has taken the better part of a decade to get underway

Ya. Kinda. They're trying to move units due to excessive inventory and they realizing that they will have holdover models and Tesla refuses to allow that to happen.

So they did drop the price yes but $40,000 today is a lot different than when model 3 was announced 4 years ago at a "$35,000" price point

That would mean a base model 3 today would have to cost $28.9k today.

my car right now is quite high torque for a standard production vehicle, currently has super super cheap tires on it because i needed to get it through an MOT test and had £0 to spend on tires that month... they were put on there "until next month"... 6 months ago... gets interesting when it rains

Yeah I can't wait till next year where the tax rebate is no longer a tax rebate and it's actually cash on the hood.

Sadly it's already been reported that manufacturers will be raising their base MSRP so it won't actually be as much of a discount as it seems like it will be. 😭

Oh you mean like how cash for clunkers removed all affordable used cars and then 2020 was the final nail on the coffin.

Now in my local area early 2000s cars are costing 5 to $7,000 if they're actually mechanically sound.....

Which ignores the fact that they have well over 200,000 mi on them and they were $15,000 when they were new in 2003....

With the drivers here in Arizona motorcycles are not safe. Because they don't look for you they don't care and they'll get way too close. I've seen them close enough to where there's no way that the car that's behind them can actually see the plate number cuz they want them to 'move out of their way'

A lot of this rhetoric though comes from people that in their teens attempted to use the bus network as a way to save costs and found that their time was just being absolutely destroyed

I mean my daily commute in the summer of 2018 was, and I am not exaggerating, 4 hours One direction to go from the job site to my house and I only had to change bus lines one time.

Average speed of 16 mph for that entire journey.

. Thank you so much for bringing this up. This is what I find as well .

when people are considering just a normal vehicle with a turbocharger I tell him look at the city number and subtract one or two that's going to be your actual average real world because it needs so much boost to sustain our high speeds on the freeway of 75 to 85 miles an hour during your daily commute.

That's because without the turbo that engine design would only make like 95 horsepower which is inadequate for the 3600 lb car.

My issue with a hybrid car is I like to use Uber as a cost analysis because that is the absolute extreme as far as mileage per year.

What I actually found is that even with something like a RAV4 prime the cost per mile is higher than an EV or a gasoline vehicle because you are taking the MPG penalty of the weight of the plug-in hybrid all the time.

Then if you do an actual total cost analysis based on recommended maintenance schedules calling around finding out costs and everything like that (this project literally took me 3 days)

What you find is that the plug in hybrid is still subject to the same maintenance schedule as gasoline car because it tends to expire on time but you also paid a premium up front for the EV battery pack

additionally you're not getting the near, but not actually ZERO because EVs do require oil changes, maintenance savings of an EV.

The issue is full EV's are then further of a premium on top of the plug-in hybrid.

most Londoners don't worry about getting shanked, sure we worry about getting phones stolen if you walk around holding it out in front of you, and occasionally mugged, but the vast majority of actual knife crime is gangs, your average everyday worker drone or tourist is not going to get shanked, and even with all the shanking, we still have a lower shank rate than a number of American cities even when you ignore the gun crime which is near 0 here

The end of the day there's only one solution.

Add lightness. .

Solves all of the problems that everybody has, from cost of ownership to initial purchase cost, to road destruction, to efficiency.

I'm actually really excited for the Toyota Prius prime.
-0 to 60 and 6.6 seconds makes it adequate for use in the desert Southwest.
-It's a light enough weight platform at only 3,800 lb (light for a modern car)
-it finally has a chassis that's capable of going around corners without terminal understeer
-it is a little bit pricey but Prius is have always been pricey relative to their competition of a normal ice vehicle

However.
Because the design focused on efficiency I could see this being a really good stepping stone for somebody that wants to think about EV but doesn't have the money to spend upfront on an EV

Only to find out 30 days later that it doesn't actually work for their needs but then they dont have the ability to sell it because they owe more than it than it's worth.

I was shocked at hell well the Toyota Camry hybrid drove. Still doesn't really have an actual character or a soul to it

But it had amazing efficiency, it had good enough turn in. It would trail break and lightly rotate in a non scary way (classic Toyota)

It was efficient enough, though I would have liked EV mode to go over 25 mph because there's no reason at 26 mi an hour to suddenly need the gasoline engine on.

I took it down my most brutal mountain road and went downhill accelerating out of corners, about the most abusive thing you can do to a vehicle, and will show every single engineering flaw.

The Camry passed a flying colors and even though I could smell the brakes unlike most vehicles it didn't start to smoke and fade.

The vehicle didn't limp or show any other signs of distress at the end of this brutal 9/10th run.

Is he perfect? No, but he's also the first to admit he's human and frankly way in over his head. He just wanted to make videos rambling about his hobbies, and became a responsibility to create this self-sustaining entity which put food on the table for dozens of his employees. Do I think there's a lot to answer for, in terms of both factual reporting and creating a safe/friendly working environment? yes and yes. But he knows this - that's why there's the new CEO, that's why there's labs.

Hes talked before that his initial reaction to stuff is sometimes off base

And that he speaks based on emotion sometimes before really thinking about it

but it's that same intelligence which is his downfall at times. Were there a lot of "haters" along the way just knobbing LTT for everything they did? yes, and having an ability to bounce back from criticism is like, part of the job you know?

Steve 100% acted with kindness with this. His video was SUPER moderate given his "metalhead" vibe - if Linus is "a bit of a dick" -- Steve will literally rant for 45 minutes about the flaws and "boneheaded mistakes" of a product before calling it "mostly good" and saying "you should buy it, because it's the closest we've seen to good"

Thermaltake Contac Silent 12 ($25): One of the messier aspects of Ryzen’s launch was lack of AM4-compliant coolers, but Thermaltake was one of the few vendors able to ship heatsinks from the beginning. The Contac Silent 12 may be a plain, inexpensive cooler, but it’s a lot better than nothing, which is what this 1600X ships with. All of our published Ryzen CPU testing has been with the massive Kraken X62 AIO, but we’ve used the Contac Silent 12 off and on and have been satisfied with the results--for $25, it’s one of the cheapest third-party AM4 coolers out there, and it works.
