Well… part of the wound, at least… now you can have guava again.

You can still fix anything that breaks on an EV. You just need updated skills. And you don’t need to fix issues as often, because EVs are more reliable than old junkers.

My maintenance on this car is substantially less than it was with an ice car. No oil changes, radiator flushes, or anything associated with brakes. I change my tires every 50k miles, my wiper blades, and wiper fluid. These were the only maintenance items I need to do . I took the car in to the manufacturer at the 5yr mark to do an inspection and was told nothing was out of order and needed addressing. No hydraulic fluid or oil changes, no lubrication, no brake pads.

Just drive and spend less on electricity than you spend on gas.

I have had this car for 6 years and haven’t had any issues that were more egregious than an ICE car. I’ll heed your warning when it actually materializes. Until then, I’ll enjoy the lack of problems and maintenance ICE cars have. Fortunately, I’ve been able to pay off my car note and save money because of the lower total cost of ownership.

Well, if you don’t count mechanical problems. Cars of yesteryear had their problems, too, and if you didn’t want to be a mechanic as a hobby, they could be a bitch. Lucid, in particular, isn’t at scale and isn’t profitable. They are still working out the kinks in the process and product.

I got an EV 6 years ago and am never going back. I plug in at home, never have any routine maintenance to perform, and spend far less on it than I ever did my old cars. The software issue people complain about isn’t even on my radar, but that may be because I grew up in the 90s and everything has been going digital for 30 years.

Any real fiscal conservatives gave up on republicans a long time ago…

Add some fresh salsa!

Peas are a hate crime.

Apologies for assuming the jet in the image was where the defense minster was… but the concern remains valid. Why is she flying over Kaliningrad, in a multi-person jet, while Russia is involved in an offensive war at the borders of NATO territory? Is this not just serving up defensive leadership to a hostile force?

Why the fuck is a defense minister onboard a fighter jet in the current geopolitical climate? Pilot personnel can gather and relay any pertinent information to boots on the ground. Defense decision-makers should not be anywhere near anything related to geopolitical targeting.

These people are acting like Russia isn’t hostile to their politics and currently engaged in an offensive war at their allies’ borders. WTF?

If you get out of the city, Red Rocks State Park and Hoover dam are worth seeing.
