1) after about 5 years the EV will need to be replaced (sooner if in minor accident) 2) The grid will not support EVs 3) the cost of depreciation and batteries makes you a fool compared to fuel cost. 4) Insurance cost is very high, some will not even cover you. I object to taxpayers helping pay for your EV myth NOT busted 5) The battery technology can not reinvent science 6) The EV has a 1000 lb battery very similar to cell phones do not work in cold or hot weather. temperatures make the range go way down 7) Just fine if you only need to go 50 miles If your ICE runs out of fuel you can put gas out of a can in 2 minutes 8) Entire ships and parking lots of cars have been lost. 9) Just give the government more time. Used ICE cars will be more expensive. See California 10) Road trip limited and stressful.

My man. Are Electric Vehicles really your concern or is it that EVs go against your political views? I used to be very strongly anti-EV, and anti-climate change policy less than 2 years ago. I listened to the likes of Steven Crowder and a whole host of conservative commentators on the issue. I am still conservative, but I realized that EVs and climate related issues are a major blind spot for the Republican party. There's a lot of people who strongly dislike organizations such as the IPCC and Democrats so much that they lose their objectivity on the science behind these matters. What changed my mind was focusing on my career in STEM, and staying informed on the topics that I was told I was being lied to about. I'm not gonna go point-by-point; you can do your own research. But I would encourage you to step back from this issue for a second and see why you disagree so strongly when it comes to this piece of technology. Are you sure that this video creator was wrong about every single point? Even the claim that EVs pollute more than ICEs? 🤨 Even the fact that Electric grids are successfully charging EVs? Dude stop listening to people whose specialty is Politics when it comes to matters of Technology.

Only vehicle that punched on with the Model 3 was my old Suzuki Might Boy 553cc little 2 seater ute that is built like a can of coke and if you crash doing more than 40kmh you will die..... So what do I drive??? A Subaru Forester 👍 I drive about 1000km a year and will never touch the emissions of any new EV with the used gas guzzler and would be a waste me using up good new batteries anyway.

Got lots of interest in the blower and A2A as I'd hand polished it all so took her out and skidded a few sets off while dialing in more and more timing expecting to melt a hole in a piston but she took well more degrees than I expected and I ended up doing a wristy instead. Was a bonus cos I sold heads with the blower and I expected to kill them...... Foresters SUV high seat/position is great with a bad back but I honestly F'n dread doing anything to it or driving it much.

The production process for both Electric and Combustion engine vehicles is similar; the argument the other comments are making is that the studies that claim EVs pollute more as part of their production process or as part of operating them have poor methodology that is lenient in ICEs and strict towards EVs. Just look at the reduction in Smog in major cities that widely adopted EVs. With EVs the Cobalt, and Lithium mining is very dirty, but with ICEs the Petroleum mining is dirty too. And don't forget, once that Crude oil gets refined, it can only get used once before you have to mine for more.

@@doublejslist sorry to hear that. I've got some spots of rust on the body that I'm working on but my rocker panels are rusting from the inside so I hope I have time before they'll need to be repaired.

I had a 4XE Rubicon and I liked the horse power and the looks of the blue accents. However on long trips when the electric range was depleted it felt like the engine had to work to accelerate and maintain charge on the battery. It's also a very complicated drive train. 4XEs are great for short commutes but if you want one long term buy an extended warranty because the hybrid components are expensive. I ended up trading it for a Gladiator Mojave because I wanted to carry more and I liked the fox suspension.

Yeah, after living with a PHEV, I’m ready to go back to full EV.

I would guess it works. I found a lot of videos like this for all sorts of vehicles with rear AC.

Stevenson tuning........hmmmm...... I don't have good feelings about Stevenson anymore. He is up there on the reservation thinking he can do whatever he wants. And he thinks he is far enough away from anyone to ever have to deal with or see a customer in person when he does not deliver for them. I came to him as a customer with a 2011 MK6 Jetta looking to do a delete for fuel economy and obviously DPF delete. He wrote a tune and I passed my state inspection but fuel economy is equal to but certainly not better than stock. To keep a long story short here, the very first few tunes he wrote me was giving me over 50 miles to the gallon City, high 50s Highway. That Tune however was giving me an overboost code, it took over 9 months and multiple versions of the tune for him to finally give up on improving fuel economy. Then instead of Stevens him himself like a man, sent one of his dingbat underlings to tell me that I was getting poor fuel economy because it was cold (winter). Really then why do we have a cold air intake on our TDIs? (Sure Sub-Zero temperatures are no good (but here in the Mid-Atlantic states in December at that time it wasn't colder than 40°)) If cold air is really that bad wouldn't we have a warm air intake instead of a cold air intake? And another thing that dingbat underling tried telling me was that I never got over 50 miles to the gallon, he said that's impossible.. I sent him pictures and screenshots of receipts showing that I have empirical data proving I got well over 50 MPG and that shows me filling up just north of Baltimore and then not filling up again until south of Atlanta Stevenson tuning called me a liar. So choose Stevenson tuning only if you're okay with just getting by and not expecting him to go the extra mile and figure out problems if you have any. Basically if he does a tune for you he's only going to give you the bare minimum and give up instead of taking the time to get it dialed in and figured out.

I am an owner of already 4-th Volvo (V40CC, XC40, S90 and XC60 T8 now) and I can say with confidence, if you want to feel real Volvo driving experience you should install Polestar Optimization package at the moment of purchase. This will completely change your perception of driving Volvo and responsiveness of the car.

The CarPlay problem you're having is the fault of the iPhone. Do a hard restart of your wife's iPhone and make sure it isn't paired via bluetooth.
