EV owners of today and tomorrow

They have to somehow. The station closest to me, Texaco, closed for a couple months getting their concrete ripped up after selling water laced gasoline for a day. Their insurance company paid for a lot of repairs.

Previously they priced 10¢ or more higher than Walmart across the street. Since the incident, parity or less than Walmart trying to get their customer base back.

Rumor and speculation without proof

The only whine you should hear are your timing gears, supercharger, or high-ratio rear diff.

Oh... that, and your wife. "Slow down!"

VW gets into ETs.

Like we ( you) need to try to invent another stupid acronym, to cause more confusion, than help…one that’s already taken, years ago, because we’re so lazy we can’t write “electric tractor”. I’ll stick with my DT.

FSD almost permitted the big deer to get across the road. Thankfully the airbags were not involved. I had to use Key Card to boot up so I could drive home. I sent pics to my insurance agent just now. It was dark when the deer shot out of a field on my right.

Bummer. Glad you're okay, Gale.
