I noticed he was gone too. I find it less disturbing that you do apparently though. Sometimes trolls need to learn and since there was little productive statements from them, I don't mind the deletion of them. If someone wants to be an internet asshole, let them do it somewhere else.
Some of the success for any BEV, whether that be the MME or id.4, is going to depend upon just how widespread DCFC's are as well. Fewer DCFC stations also means greater difficulty in traversing longer segments. Pragmatically though, not many of us actually want to be tied to a DCFC all the time. Charge it up, go to work (maybe plug in there), go home. Repeat.
Fair enough. But I still find it extreme. Aside from being argumentative, what did he do? He's been on here arguing just about from the beginning, so what triggered this. I mean there are plenty of other examples of people getting obnoxious here.
I think it reached the point where since there was such lack of respect, for no other reason than to argue, there is no reason to be present. Getting rid of old posts v. just preventing new ones is not necessarily the most ideal situation, but it shows that negative behavior for no productive reason will not be tolerated. I appreciate that steps were taken to remove someone that was having a negative impact on the group as a whole. Their attitude was ruining this forum for others.
Yep, that's still gonna be a real bugaboo for selling BEVs, when people find out real-world range (where they usually need it - on highways, and adjusted for 10-80% SOC) is more like half of the advertised number.
Oh yeah, for sure. It's a Venn diagram thing of range, charging speed, infrastructure, and price, right?
Yup - that is the real challenge - and it wont go away until there fast charging infrastructure everywhere and that will be a while.
That’s an interesting question that I’d like to know the answer to. I’d also like to know why we don’t get the really nice Quickclear style Window defroster/deice. Both are better options imo.
Absolutely. I hope the ID.4 becomes VW's bestselling SUV/crossover. I hope Tesla continues to do well. It is fantastic that the Taycan was the best selling Porsche. It would be great if the BEV's from Volvo, Audi, Hyundai, etc all outsell their ICE models. And of course I want to see the Mach E outsell the Escape.
What dark magic is this?? I want it.
The Bolt sales have been higher than Leaf this year. Probably because their have been more incremental improvements to the Bolt than the Leaf over the last several years... That said, the Bolt has a long way to catch up in total sales. Anyways, the Tesla model 3 already passed the Leaf in total sales this year and is the truly "mainstream" option.
