It is. It is like what a moped is to a motorcycle. There are much much better choices for EVs today but even those are not ready for mainstream use yet.

I'll just say it was a sports coupe.

A Tesla Model S would be nice. Not 2 door sporty but would do the trick.

Still a bit pricey.

I want to see what Cadillac comes out with. Their ELR plug-in hybrid was lacking in power.

All manufacturers are working on EVs and I want to see how it goes after a couple of model years go by.

The ELR had the best commercial and was a good looking car but it didn't work out.

The Tesla Model 3 performance edition wasn't good enough?

Top Speed: 162mph

0-60mph: 3.1 seconds

Range: 315 miles

And it's $25,000 less than the Model S.

I'm also interested to see the Cadillac EVs, but they won't be available until late next year.

If a Tesla fits your specs and price range, that's what you should go with.

But there are still some really good non-Teslas available now or later this year. My favorites are:

Mustang Mach E

Rivian R1T

Rivian R1S

Porsche Taycan

Chevy Bolt EV

Chevy Bolt EUV

Hyundai Kona EV

minimum wage is a very complicated subject that no one knows the right answer to.

I'm not surprised at all that odd bedfellows are created when discussing it.

A main thing to me is what you point out - that the US is massively diverse economically and paying mw of $15 an hour in Wyoming or MS doesn't make much sense, but makign it $15 in NY or CA does make sense.

Same with gun control - coming up with one policy for the entire empire doesn't make a lot of sense at all.

Federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour - since 2009.

Not even half of $15.00.

And the plan is not straight to $15, it's a step progression.

Minimum wage Tipped wage Youth wage 14(c) wage

Current $7.25 $2.13 $4.25 $4.25

2021 $9.50 $4.95 $6.00 $5.00

2022 $11.00 $6.95 $7.75 $7.50

2023 $12.50 $8.95 $9.50 $10.00

2024 $14.00 $10.95 $11.25 $12.50

2025 $15.00 $12.95 $13.00 $15.00

2026 $15.00 $14.95 $14.75 $15.00

2027 $15.00 $15.00 $15.00 $15.00

So if this passes, the wage would be $9.50 and below the current minimum for many states.

I'm sure the Bolt would embarrass your slow gas guzzler.

My Chevy Bolt will beat 90% of all gas cars off the line. There aren't a whole lot of gas cars that can do 0 to 60 in 6.5 seconds. Not unless you are willing to pay double the price.

And yes, most EVs today do even better. My next car will be a Tesla, but the Bolt is an awesome value if you want a lower priced EV.

Back when I bought it in 2017, the Bolt was Motor Trend Car of the Year.

That’s awesome I’ll remember that the next time I need to go 0 to 60 in 6 seconds. Does it come with spinning rims too. Lol. And when I’m looking for a cheap not really cheap for what you get clown car I’ll look at the bolt. Lol. None of what you said changes the fact that EVs are inconvenient and frustrating today. It will get better in a few years when battery tech get better, prices drop and infrastructure can support them. For now they remain inconvenient and frustrating even for fanboys.

Wow, so Biden is reopening the same child-immigrant facility the left, including Biden and Harris, called a "concentration camp." Looks like the libs voted for Biden but got Trump's policies. Enjoy you loss, libs! You can wipe your tears on those $2000 covid relief checks your Child-Sniffer in Chief promised you, oh wait you can't because you voted for a liar.

Too bad your first post on it was so poor. You killed the thread.

Waiting for my apology.

The Bolt has some nice things going for it.

I don't know why they can't put that in a body of a Cruze or Malibu.

"Point taken" is great but should not the point had been taken many, many, many posts ago? Anyone viewing this thread on a smaller device finds the countless embedded posts unreadable. Again, get a room or create an EV thread.

Wait, what? I didn't think you were new here!

This is the guy that used an ethnic slur when referring to me. You think he is concerned with with being considerate to others?

It says that my car is better than yours. And it's better than any gas car you can buy.

Once you've experienced the instant torque of an EV you never want to go back. Quick acceleration is very useful when passing and merging.

If you buy a gas car you are an idiot.

GM says that by 2025 they will build 30 different vehicles on their new ultium battery platform. So I guess whatever body style you like will eventually be available.

Tesla and GM have opposite EV strategies and it will be interesting to see how each one will fare.

The phrase is ENJOY YOUR LOSS.

Biden promised$2,000 total, GOP delivered $600 and it now looks like the remaining $1,400 is on the way ?

As for kids in cages, you’re not even trying.

Oh and btw ENJOY YOUR LOSS ???

That’s awesome. It probably comes in handy when you’re driving around looking for a charging station that isn’t occupied for the next couple of hours or is not broken. I get it. You’re a big fanboy. That’s great. It doesn’t change the fact that today’s EVs are inconvenient and frustrating. All the workarounds youve posted here and hoops you have jump through with your EV just proves my point. EVs will be better in the next few years with improved battery tech and improved infrastructure. Now they are inconvenient and frustrating.

and Federal employees who have kids home doing virtual school will get $1400/WEEK!

Great plan! Totally fair!!

What a joke of a rescue plan...
