Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Oh, fuck no... There's gonna be RWD gas powered cars for at least another decade and a half.

I guarantee it. I promise you with 100% certainty.

It won't even be the last 'affordable' RWD gas-powered vehicle. Don't let the mandates scare you - the all have 'caveats'.

Also, don't get me wrong, I'm VERY excited to own a full electric vehicle. I can't wait to own one, but I haven' t found the right one.

I'd like an original Tesla - which, and this is something you don't know unless I've told you before (probably) which was actually an EV but based on the Lotus Elise.

Yeah... That was the original Telsa, before Musk was even involved.

I kinda want one of those BUT with modern Tesla underpinnings. They're rare as fuck, but not all that expensive overall. I should be able to buy one (with a Tesle S under it) for about 120k.

The battery replacement will get old having to do that every so many years I would think

Not really. Teslas from 2010 are still running just fine, with about 85% of their battery life.

You get a lot of bullshit media, but I researched it thoroughly before buying one for my daughter.

So far, her car has cost her nothing other than charging. Not one lick of maintenance. Not even tires or brakes.

There's no oil change. There's no coolant to add. You just drive it and keep it charged.

The myths about the longevity are just myths. There are people who have put 500,000 miles on their Teslas and still have 85+ the original battery capacity.

What IS a kinda concern is the cold weather. When it's cold, I'll only get about 80% of the range.

However, the range for a Tesla is such that that wouldn't bother me. I could easily make a trip into Augusta and back without needing to charge a damned thing.

There's a lot of bullshit about EVs, but they really are ready for the prime time - for the VAST majority of people. You? You'd be a perfect candidate for an EV. Do you REGULARLY drive more than 350 miles in a day? (That's discounting the range due to the cold.)

I thought the batteries only lasted about ten years before needing to be replaced
