It just feels good to shoot yourself in the foot, huh?
Not at all I love having many vehicles and will always be intrigued for the latest technology and drive them. Do I actually keep them.....šŸ˜. Well if you look at my over 150 plus vehicle purchases the odds are against them which is why I am a Motƶrhead to the max.

I don't think it's about the quantity of vehicles bought, but the quality. I know I've bought well over 150, but I still have a clean record...not a single Furd or electric vehicle.

Unless you count the John Deere eGator I bought for dirt cheap on a whim. I call it "the Prius" as it's as close to owning something like that I'll ever get.

I've owned over 75 vehicles. Guess I'm just a rookie.

I think you're very generous with the 10-15 minute fill time. It takes me less than 10 minutes including filling in the log book and resetting Trip A.

Have you tried squeezing the handle on the nozzle past the first click, where fuel starts to come out?
Yep, very generous!!

Not necessarily. Depends on how many over 75 you've owned.

At my age, going back almost 60 years; the memory gets a little hazy.

CC we need to talk about how the YouTube algorithm works šŸ˜‚ shorter videos typically get more views. This is because YouTube really like to weigh in the watch time. So if you post a 45 minute video chances are people will click through or not finish it. This makes it so YouTube wonā€™t recommend the video to as many people. I will say I have watched more of the electric vehicle stuff out of curiosity

So my electrician ran a 30 amp not a 50 amp outlet in my garage. Does the car come with a bunch of different adapters or just the 110?

Darn. There what I figured. Iā€™m my pole barn Iā€™ll have 50 amp. But the house garage. I wonder if thereā€™s be a way to mount it to the ceiling so the cord isnā€™t in the way. Thatā€™s another worry Iā€™ve had on elective cars.

CC...I skimmed through your video..(green acres is the only thing I can watch for more than 20 min)...then it finally came to me..I don't hate any car really..(well maybe the Maverick)..but I think the reason this car holds no appeal at all for me is it's so utilitarian period..no more than basic transportation..and the fact it's electric..well it reminds me of my golf cart...I don't care for the stance and aesthetically it's boring to me..other than being the last vehicle in the driveway on grocery day...I would have no reason to ever get behind the wheel :(

CC, I understand the new and god awful blue, but you are not going to win any points on this forum. Seems to be from an open minded Biden hating red neck. You have bought yo self a piece of turd. I am sure nickel, compound for the power plant of the auto, has gone up another 15% tonight. Another plow to have consumers to be sucked in. I will die with the Dina sores.

Not even the goofy wheels that look like the spokes are broken from the factory appeal to you??
