A few years ago, I had to take a residential community to small claims court in order to get back a ānon-refundableā deposit (long story). After they got served, we never actually went to court. We settled and they gave me back my full deposit, along with a reimbursement of all my court fees. I...
If they donāt refund your $5K deposit then take them to court. Small claims should work. They canāt just hold on to your money when they havenāt provided you with a product or service. Once theyāve been served, theyāll know you mean business and theyāll cut that refund check quickly.
I see your point regarding rebates. Interesting take ?
Here in California, in order to keep the entire CVRP state rebate, which you get roughly 3 months after purchase, you have to keep the EV (and continue living in the state) for at least 30 months. Otherwise, you have to give the money back...
This is the approach that VW took with the ID4, which has been both praised and criticized.
And I get it. Us EV nerds love all that tech stuff, but itās probably not best for the general public.
Ford will inevitably make adjustments though.
I like the idea of giving people a credit or rebate towards their new EV, if they are trading in an ICE vehicle to get it. It could sort of work like Cash For Clunkers, but it would be rebranded for EVs. I propose calling this new program āGifts For Gas Guzzlersā. Or simply, āGifts 4 Guzzlersā.
This makes me wonder how things will look a decade from now, when Tesla still has their own charging network (and standard) while every other automaker on Earth uses CCS ?
Because the OP bothered to spend time posting about his decision in our forum. If he didnāt want our opinions, or our pushback, he wouldnāt have bothered.
Totally agree. Although GM did change their logo so that the negative space below the āMā looks like an electric plug ?
GM also has stated that they plan to go fully electric by (I think 2030?) But so far the results are lacking. As both a former Volt and current Bolt owner, Iām disappointed...
Iām really impressed by Ford right now. I think with the Lightning reveal, they might have taken the ālegacy leadā in the EV space. Meaning, of all the legacy automakers (Tesla isnāt legacy), they are the one turning the most heads. Before the Lightning reveal, I considered GM and VW to be in...
Okay, this is my response to both you and Fat Mach. This will be my last post regarding this subject/thread, as quite frankly- I'm over it:
I said ātypically,ā thatās not nearly the same as āall.ā
Thanks for clearing that up :rolleyes:
But seriously, you did make a statement earlier that you...
Apartment renting isnāt just for people with low incomes. Hereās a list of people who might rent for reasons other than their income:
1) young people
2) single people
3) people who live in cities
4) people who are recently separated/divorce
5) people who recently moved to a new location
6)...
No thanks. I prefer having something to do while DC Fasting. Perhaps place them near parks so I can walk my dog and get some exercise/fresh air while charging? Thatād be nice.
Iām going to ignore your initial obnoxious statement.
I charge at public stations. There are several within walking distance of my apartment. Before the pandemic I charged at work.
Yes, I charge at Walmart. Just the other day I did a DC Fast while shopping.
I actually agree with you regarding...
Are you kidding me?! I live in an apartment building and I own a BEV- and I canāt charge at home! My best friend also owns a BEV and canāt charge at home (because he lives in an apartment)! What a ridiculous statement.
