Since they insist, it works for me!
I was just over to CVS and snapped this. Geez, the wait at the EV chargers is kind of long, lol. I've yet to see a single vehicle parked there.

I had my first ride in an electric car today, a Tesla Model 3, so I naturally had a lot of questions and was polite.I was just over to CVS and snapped this. Geez, the wait at the EV chargers is kind of long, lol. I've yet to see a single vehicle parked there.

It looks like a lot of space, but my SL is more like a small car.... and imagine the place packed with like VW golfs (rabbit)I'll take an appropriate picture for y'all to see yourself later today.

I hate those assholes. Got blasted by one at a cruise.
I agree but, that’s the thing. Most people with programers/chips/tuners on their diesels aren’t rolling coal. Typically just guys looking for MPG, shift points for towing, ect…the coal rolling dudes are just the most visible (assholes) but, not the majority of customers. All in all, what this does is, opens up any aftermarket manufacturer making and selling non OEM compliant “performance parts” a target. This is the beginning of the end. Most companies just won’t build/risk millions in fines or want the responsibility for what their customers decide to put on public roads.I hate those assholes. Got blasted by one at a cruise.
I grew up in, Studio City, California. Turns out, EVs are real popular there. Near where we lived, a neighborhood had a a bunch of underground explosions and lost power…too many EVs charging at night blew out the grid for the neighborhood. Much like Americas water pipes, our electrical grid is old, outdated and can’t support drastically sped up household demand for electricity.I was talking to a guy I know from the big Ford dealer on the north side. He said they've sold about 430 F150's this year so far. Guess how many were electric powered? A whole one. The others were all 5.0 or EcoBoost V6. Well OK, they also sold a grand total of two of that abomination named Mustang Mach-E. EV's are not popular around here. From what he told me, both Mach-E's have been in the shop more than on the road. Electrical problems,,,,,go figure.

Ah yes, you're tax dollars at work. Federal, state, and local incentives are available in most states. All funded by the already overtaxed tax payer.I was just over to CVS and snapped this. Geez, the wait at the EV chargers is kind of long, lol. I've yet to see a single vehicle parked there.

When I tried to work at a junkyard for a few months there was a windshield place almost next door and it seemed like at one point there were literally Mustang EV wagons there every day so theres some issue with their glass too, I don't know what they replaced or fixedI was talking to a guy I know from the big Ford dealer on the north side.

They were made so poorly they had a recall the glass because it could fly off the vehicleWhen I tried to work at a junkyard for a few months there was a windshield place almost next door and it seemed like at one point there were literally Mustang EV wagons there every day so theres some issue with their glass too, I don't know what they replaced or fixed
