    In MN they charge $75. I’m sure there’s more to it than just fuel tax, but that’s probably a big slice of the pie.

    I see Lucid adopted the Tesla plug. for 2025!
    who will buy a lucid without the plug? who buys lucid anyway?

    Ok. fine.

    now Tesla will be making money on nearly all the EV's. LOL

    and media only downplays Tesla.

    question - will other charging stations, other than Tesla, be able to use the plug?


    <I'm still mad about my $200 road tax charge.>

    I took the wife’s car to the gym this morning.
    *initiate turn signal to change lanes
    *Checked right mirror
    *Proceeds to look at where the screen is for my blind spot cams

    Unions have set the stage to attack EV makers knowing their labor deal will cause long term job losses among the big boys. They need to worm their way into new shops to survive. They'll keep trying until they make it. They can't afford to accept defeat here.

    Who knows what the landscape looks like when that's factored in. They have to discount the things to move them right now but it's almost inevitable that their long term labor costs will go up considerably. It won't be sustainable when their shops start going on strike and demanding 25% raises and Cadillac benefit plans.

    By ev makers, you mean just Tesla right?

    I see Tesla as what humans can do without unionized labor. Free market efficiency

    UAW wants to infiltrate Tesla and Toyota to make them common. Equal to all the others

    not gonna happen

    I honestly love the Tesla model. I’ve bought 15 cars in the last 2 years. Dealerships are trash.

    no haggle. No fees besides inspection shit. And my docs and title arrived at my house in a week so I could register.
