    MLB: ***Official 2024 St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    From what I've been reading about the winter leagues Yadi is a long way from being ready to be a manager in the Majors. Marmol is a long way from being the second coming of Tommy Lasorda but I feel like canning him for Molina would be a step backwards.

    My wife was making fun of that dress she was wearing. Seems like a minor issue to me.

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

    I think Toyota is both right and wrong about EV's at the same time. They're right in that it's going to be several years to get the kinks worked out and hybrids are better for a lot of consumers. They're wrong in that they need to be building them to learn how to make a good one when they are...

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

    I agree, you need a home charger for this to be feasible without a lot of compromises or a good charger at work. I have a 3 kW charger at work for free but that doesn't quite cut it. I gained about 10% SOC in 4 hours on Thursday with it. Swapping batteries is going to be tough for a home gamer...

    If you get the ford home charger installed you can use the truck as a back-up battery. You can also do that with the hybrid F-150 as well if your wall charger supports it like a regular gas generator.

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

    I didn't say they're only for city people but unless you have a 240 plug in your garage having a hour commute both ways is going to be tough if you're in an area with out publicly available fast charging options. Lets just do a little math here. If you are relying on a 120V, 20 Amp plug in your...

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

    I think it's more of a question of where you live in Iowa. If you live in one of the bigger cities (Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Waterloo or Council Bluffs) and don't leave town a whole lot they're fine. If you're commuting between towns 45 minutes to an hour one way then it's more challenging I...

    When I plugged it in to the charger at work yesterday at lunch time it was sitting at 60% I think. I don't know where it was at when he took off this morning though.

    So my boss had the lightning today and took it down to Marshalltown from Waterloo. Not sure what the SOC was when he left but he's currently stranded and sitting at a 6kW charger waiting to get enough range to get back to Waterloo with it.

    I can't get over having two giant USB-C ports on the front end of those things.

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

    So I handed the keys back to the Lightning after lunch today. I don't think I'm quite ready to go all in with the BEV but I did like it. The truck was a Lightning XLT Pro with the 250 mile range battery. That advertised range and what I was seeing on the dash didn't come close to lining up. I...

    So my program team leased a standard range Lightning for us to mess around with and we're being allowed to check it out for 24hrs. I'm taking my turn with it tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to trying it out.
