    Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

    Breakfast is one of those things that's really hard to screw up. I can't remember the last time I had a bad breakfast. With that said, I really like Town Topic in KC for breakfast.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Seems to be a fair price. Get rid of those people that just sit their car there all day just because it's free. That's one thing I like about superchargers, if you leave them plugged in once you're full, they will charge you.

    Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

    Well since my current one seems to have lost the ability to dry...... This one has the 3rd level dedicated to utensils, which I think will work well for us.

    The color looked a little weird to me. Similar to when I've sous vide a steak. Probably just lighting or something.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I think my graph shows about 3.5 cents per mile dollar but that's with MidAmerican. Only about $800/year savings and that will be offset by higher insurance costs that I pay. Not asking for it, but I would pay double in fuel costs to drive an EV. If a person is worried about fuel costs, it's...

    Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

    Just pulled the trigger on a Bosch dish washer. I've never heard anyone say anything bad about one, but now that I pulled the trigger, I'm sure I'm about to find out how they are the biggest POS dishwashers made. :)

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I wouldn't recommend anyone pay $50k+ for an EV and then not get a home charger. It would be like getting a 4k TV and then only watching the Andy Griffith show. Edit: An exception to this may be free charging at work, but even that I would question.

    Sorry, I thought you meant complete swappable batteries, which seems pretty nuts in a vehicle.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Same. I've been waiting the last 100 years for an ICE that's fuel economy didn't suffer in the winter and has an easily swappable engine for winter use/

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    It's a car. Probably most similar on my list to a BMW 5 series

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Yes, each persons use case is unique. I could live in Stout and as long as I had a home charger, I'd be totally fine. I can't remember the last time I drove 200+ miles in Iowa and wasn't near a charging station, but that's just me and like you said, I'm not in rural Iowa. Maybe a good idea would...

    Did you sous vide this first or something?

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    8 months in and we're both so happy we bought the Model Y. A few observations: I wish I would have talked to actual Tesla owners before buying one. At least 90% of what you hear about EV's is from people who don't own EV's. People hear things on the internet from non EV owners or pick out...

    These companies need their heads checked on pricing. This needs to be priced at least $15k cheaper. 2024 Acura ZDX Luxury EV SUV Prices Range from $65,745 to $74,745 https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46486119/2024-acura-zdx-price/

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Yeah, non Tesla would be a little challenging in Iowa. If you live in Iowa, I don't see how a 250-300 mile range would be challenging at all. Maybe if you are a gravel road commissioner.

    That's too bad, I don't blame him. Do you think he'd buy another EV in the future?

    That's pretty sad on multiple levels.

    Where you at?

    I'm left handed but I bat right......not sure if that matters. G6 if there is water there. I like to stand to the right of the toilet bowl for some reason. Although if that cat was there watching me, I'd probably sit.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I wanted to get more data on this so I looked up some numbers. I was on vacation form 1/18-1/26, so we didn't drive the car during this time, but it was left plugged in. On 1/18 it was at 80%, which is the maximum I set. 3 times in those 8 days it charged back up to 80%. To accomplish this, it...
