The bolt can be found for 10-14k used easily

Would suck being the last person on either track. It'd be a long and boring wait while tied up

Windows 11 offers nothing better than Windows 10, but there's a few key things that don't work as good/bugged on win11 for me. Should have not updated I think

Both, opposite side man, I'm broke. They're giving way more money than I put in

I'm still waiting on my 2021, and 2022 refunds

When my son (2) was born there was decent pressure to circumcise, we were asked leading up to birth, before birth at hospital many times, and many times after.

I'm sure there's plenty of single mothers who don't know any better and just eventually agree. I've been told hospitals sell the cut off for woman's make up stuff

I have had my bolt, with new battery, for nearly 3 years. On interstate driving in summer I'm not sure I'd go beyond 180 miles, pretty sure 200 miles I'd be in turtle mode at least. Currently in winter I'm probably limited to about 160 tops.

I've been eyeing returnal but couldn't bring myself to buy it. I want returnal from the list thanks

Pretty much everything you said was said about passenger cars 15 years ago. Can't fix every problem right away. as much as 85% of trucking is under 200 miles (by freight tonnage). This defeatist mentality of 'it won't work for this application, or this application, it'll never change' will always fail as technology and engineering improves.

The Tesla semi proved that fully loaded 450+ mi trucking is not only possible but better in every way, Pepsi is eager to incorporate them and Walmart too. Here's the trick, Walmart and other companies doesn't give a shit about charge times as long as it's manageable, if it ends up saving even a dollar per freight delivery, they will switch. If it never improved and legit took 4 hours per 200 miles, companies will set up relay trucking. Trucking itself will change if technology can't. It's always about money, charge times only bother the driver

True I did not count cost of electricity, because it's extremely hard to guess. Some places are .04$/kwh, some are .45/kwh, some are free. What if you had free charging at work? Or apartment, or had solar, it could be completely free. But let's say you did pay for electricity, average of .12$/kwh, 4mi/kwh, around 12,000$ so half. You spend twice as much for a far slower, much smaller car that needs maintenance 2-4 times a year, and need to waste 15 minutes every week at a gas station (13 hours per year!).

And before I get a "it only takes 3 minutes to fill" bullshit, your not considering the detour time, pull in time, parking time, credit card time, Skip their ads/loyalty shit time, wait for receipt, time to make your turn out of the lot. Go ahead and time it, I'm sure you'll be surprised how much of your life is being wasted while breathing those fumes from gas/exhaust.

Of course there's going to be a market for ev battery repair, and they'll work on Teslas the most/exclusively not because they're bad, but because they're the only significant ev so far. They've sold millions, when the next highest has 200k. Shit can break on anything at any time from any manufacturer.

All Toyotas for years have had 3yr/36,000mi, 5yr/60,000mi powertrain warranty.

Nimh is junk, it is guaranteed to die due to age. It cycles really well but the chemistry inside literally dries out and stops working, 8-10 years. That's probably where a lot of the FUD about lithium batteries come from, lithium batteries degrade slowly. You can check this old blog that gives stats for 10 year higher mileage Teslas, looking at 18% to the high end but usually 8-12%. And those are the early batteries where Tesla was probably cutting as much cost as possible, today's batteries are a bit better.

And Toyota absolutely does put junk into their cars, they put weak engines, weak hybrid motors, bottom tier infotainment, minimum legal warranty. They've been riding their 1980-2000 reliability reputation hard. Not saying they're unreliable, but that reputation is the only thing that sells their cars.

Range does decrease in winter for evs, but it does for gasoline cars too, they don't show the mpg difference on the window sticker either. Tesla has really good thermal management so it generally Loses about 15%, not your 40% claim
