Tesla is not for you then

0,46 USD for kWh

but 0.46 usd for kWh compared to 0.60 usd for 1 kg of gas

fathom socket 0,46 USD for kWh

0.053 here

#

😂

#

also

#

I'm saying chargers

#

at home I would pay 0,15 usd per kWh

#

Electricity cost is just 0.053 per kWh here

#

electricity is getting taxed here because of emissions

#

If it's commercial it's 0.067

#

commercial would be more expensive

#

and I can't imagine how much

#

but yeah

#

electricity is too expensive to be economical

#

Here it does make sense

#

But cars are too expensive

#

if I'll move to switzerland

the only electric vehicle that I would buy would be motorcycle

Bmws and mercs ? 😂

BMWs, Vw, opel

the issue is most of them are literally imported from germany and they are in shit condition

my one is from poland

#

so it wasn't imported and at least mechanically he car has no issues

#

beside the steering rack leaking

These are the 2 worst cars I've seen and they are everywhere here

I can't start my car on propane-butane

1,38 usd for 1 liter for ron 95 petrol

#

Oh

Gas cars sound weird doe

or 0,60 usd for 1l of LPG

That could be many things. If the idle bounces up and down, that's an indication of a failing O2 sensor as the ECU is chasing the correct stoichiometric value. Could also be dirty injectors, worn out spark plugs, plug wires need to be replaced, throttle body gummed up. Any check engine light lit?

I don't mind the design tbh.

It's not as bad in real life as it looks in pictures

I'll take either over American crossovers.

the new electric hummer is better than the electric mustang by far

dense shard Apr 30, 2021, 12:59 AM

#

Totally different car tho

remote ridge Apr 30, 2021, 12:59 AM

cause atleast the hummer still looks like a hummer

#

the mustang is a minivan

dense shard Apr 30, 2021, 12:59 AM

I'd take a Mustang.

#

Not really?

remote ridge Apr 30, 2021, 12:59 AM

A minivan without much room, excellent performance?

A chonky car

ye

#

almost like the model Y

dense shard Apr 30, 2021, 1:01 AM

#

Yeah... not a minivan.

#

And if it wasn't for the lack of a charging network the Mustang would be an easy win for me.

#

... too bad there isn't a charging network in my area. So neither will be bought by me.

remote ridge Apr 30, 2021, 1:01 AM

#

im not against it being electric, i just dont think it should be still a mustang with how it looks

dense shard Apr 30, 2021, 1:02 AM

#

The mustang was a meme car from the start.

#

It was a Falcon in a fun wrapper.

remote ridge Apr 30, 2021, 1:02 AM

#

yeah

dense shard Apr 30, 2021, 1:02 AM

#

It was a with the times car.

#

Mustang II was a miserable POS that the 70s were.

#

Fox Body? Boxy goodness of the 80s and 90s.

#

... glossing over the next 3 generations. And we have the Mach E.

#

Looking back a good idea would be to call it a Taurus.

#

Good redemption arc for a dead car as it stands.

remote ridge Apr 30, 2021, 1:04 AM

out of the "big three" for muscle cars i think the camaro is the worst looking

nah, I think that's fairly universal. lol

half rain Some people wanted a convertible SUV I guess

After the raging success of Nissan with the Murano and Range Rover with the Evoque, VW also gave it a shot last year with the T-Roc

#

🥲

eager grove Apr 30, 2021, 8:12 AM

#

I saw a pink convertible range rover once

#

I was more confused than I think I've ever been about a car

#

so much Why

bitter compass Apr 30, 2021, 8:14 AM

#

Ahhh

#

T-Roc, make it go away

#

Same for its brother

#

I can't even make up a bad "joke" for those two cars I just hate them

eager grove Apr 30, 2021, 8:22 AM

#

eh i hate them less than other titchy crossovers

bitter compass Apr 30, 2021, 8:23 AM

#

Still waiting for them to make an crossover up.. oh

#

They fucking did

eager grove Apr 30, 2021, 8:23 AM

#

they at least have more trunk space than their hatchback counterparts

#

the T-ROC is what, Polo sized? And has more trunk space than a Golf

#

it's way smaller than a Qashqai and has more trunk space

#

It's the Nissan Juke that annoys me

bitter compass Apr 30, 2021, 8:24 AM

#

T roc is golf size and t cross is polo size i think

eager grove Apr 30, 2021, 8:24 AM

#

Tiguan is Golf size really

bitter compass Apr 30, 2021, 8:24 AM

#

But don't nail me down on it

eager grove Apr 30, 2021, 8:25 AM

#

imagine driving something as big and bulky as a Juke

bitter compass Apr 30, 2021, 8:25 AM

#

But also

eager grove Apr 30, 2021, 8:25 AM

#

with basically no interior space or trunk space

#

what a joke

bitter compass Apr 30, 2021, 8:25 AM

#

Golf sportsvan and variant exist

eager grove Apr 30, 2021, 8:25 AM

#

Also the Touran

#

which is a boring dad car, I grant you

#

but it's so much more practical than any of them

bitter compass Apr 30, 2021, 8:26 AM

#

And if you want the maximum space out of the gold platform

#

Caddy

#

xD

eager grove Apr 30, 2021, 8:28 AM

#

The Touran is basically the same size as the Tiguan

#

only it has 7 seats, way more interior space, 6 sets of iso fix, three individually adjustable rear seats, and in 5 seat mode a way bigger and more practical trunk

#

I see them everywhere, so I'd have thought they'd sell fairly well, but they're discontinuing them. It's a shame, what they really needed to do is bring out a 200HP petrol version

#

As it is, when I get mine, I'm going to have tune my damn engine to make it quick enough

#

Never modified a car before in my life, but I feel like 150HP in a fully loaded Touran is just doesn't feel like it's going to be fast enough. Local guy reckons he can get it to ~185HP with a remap

Don't you love when cars have to take 2 parking spaces

#

I mean to properly park

vagrant dune Apr 30, 2021, 9:50 AM

#

If you want space dont get an suv in the first place, get a wagon or a truck

#

For example audis only suv with more space than my A6 is the Q7 and that thing is fucking massive in every way

#

And they cost almost double

fathom socket Apr 30, 2021, 9:56 AM

#

Well

#

It's a dodge ram

stoic ledge Apr 30, 2021, 10:46 AM

#

bitter compass T roc is golf size and t cross is polo size i think

T-Roc is some weird in-between size

#

Basically Polo -> T-Cross
Golf -> Tiguan
T-Roc: somewhere in-between

#

Although it does have a much cheaper interior than a Golf Mk7.5, even though it costs more

#

It's 🧠

stoic ledge Apr 30, 2021, 10:48 AM

#

eager grove only it has 7 seats, way more interior space, 6 sets of iso fix, three individua...

Yeah agreed, that's why MPV's > CUV's imho. The MPV versions are more practical at a lower cost, they just don't look as tough

#

Although a CUV isn't more capable 🥲

eager grove Apr 30, 2021, 10:50 AM

#

So I would get a wagon or an SUV

#

but I have two children and my wife sits in the back
