    She’s got it twisted, and clearly wants you to leave her.

    Tesla insurance is cool that you can lower your premium, but I have to drive like a lil bitch.

    Costco Connect almost doubled my premium new renewal was $258 a month. Tesla is at $146 a month. Good behavior has me in the $130’s

    I think I’m the DD tonight for dinner with the wife and friends. Probably will take the Tesla - don’t think they’ve been in it yet.

    I like the idea and at first thought it seems like the best of both worlds.

    But.. that's also the problem. Some people are already nervous about the replacement costs of electric motors and batteries, throw in a gas engine with maintenance and that's a complicated system with a lot to go wrong.

    If only we could let gas and electric vehicles live or die depending on the free-market :D

    The nervous people wouldn't buy a regular hybrid then, and this is less complex than current hybrid models that have run fine for over a decade. If a truck is going to be a hybrid, this is the way.

    I see what you're saying but there is less risk with a regular hybrid though, you can still drive it if the battery fails.

    I do like that there's no transmissions/driveline running gear to fail

    I'll let you buy one first :boink:

    A hybrid will drive if the battery shits the bed, but only if you've already got it running. If it dies in the middle of the night it won't start come morning.


    No thank you. I just got back into a V8. I'm tired of buying cars. I hate payments. I have anxiety about the debt with the economy doing what it's doing. I'm good. I'll just go hide in my hole like a good troglodyte.
