Only 5% of next car purchasers expect to buy all electric cars-Road and Track.

That stretch of I-95 has conditions that make it susceptible to ice forming. Something a lot of travelers wouldn't know

When your battery dies it'll take you a week to get it moved?

I'd still have battery after a week, because I wouldn't need to run it. Good grief. You are just absolutely committed to not understanding anything. I'd have battery after a week.

I literally took you off ignore because it is so fun to make you look dumb. But even I'm at my limits. Back on ignore.

Yes, the ancient ones were very bad and useless.

It's a good thing battery replacement is a thing of the past.

I have another reason to want one. After my dad passes I'll use my inheritance to buy a new Prius outright. Going to head out to New Mexico. $225 a year camping pass if you aren't a state resident allows you to camp for free all year in their state parks. Or $4 a night if you want electricity. You have to move every 14 days to another park but they have 35 around the state that allow camping. Can be at cooler high elevation in the summer, warmer low elevation in the winter. The Prius will be my living room with satellite radio and Verizon for internet. Gas and insurance will be my rent. Clean bathrooms with showers, trash disposal. At 67 my income will be less than $20k a year. Haven't found a better solution other than living overseas. That has its own issues. And they don't have green chile!

So you’ll live out of the car, or camp in a tent?

Oh my, if you don’t replace the battery, you have to replace the car.

No. You just keep the car forever, as is.

Yes and the average EV driver has more fuel in his tank than the average gas driver. They fill up every day at home.

Yes, and that tank gets less and less everyday. Where as my tank stays the same size for the life of the vehicle.

Doesn’t make any sense. The battery doesn’t last forever.

No, the battery degradation over a decade or two will be little different than your mpg drop.

I have a Versa that once got 40 mpg. With a few hundred thousand miles, it's more like 34 mpg now. That's a reduction in range roughly comparable to an EV.

Yes, it does.

I find it interesting how many Nissan Leafs and Chevy Bolts you see towed behind RVs on the interstates.

That is interesting, they’re killing their fuel mileage towing their ridiculously heavy, “environmentally friendly” ev. you can’t make this stuff up.

Maybe fuel mileage isn't the concern. Who says they have the EV for environmental reasons?

Clean the injectors, you’ll be back to 40. I’ve never had a drop in mpg, quite the opposite, I get mpg increases.

Why else would you have one, lol

Now you're just lying. Everything gets less efficient with age. My injectors are quite clean and the maintenance has been perfect. Age just does this.

 

[wilberforce15]

Because they have no maintenance, better performance, and more convenience.

You're just sore because some of us prefer the superiority of the Prius over Tesla.

There's a specialty insulated tent called the Shiftpod. Getting the mini version. Sets up and breaks down very quickly. I'll be in the car or elsewhere during the day, sleep in the tent only at night.

I wouldn't want to try to sleep in a Prius
