Just passed the three year mark with my Tesla. About to pass the 15k mile mark, I don’t drive a ton. I don’t see myself ever going back to a gas car.
Yes, my driveway is shot, it’s badly cracked and spalling all over. It’s on the list but not a high priority.
Oof, you’re a vanity plates guy? 
Have you ever paid money to hear music performed by California funk rock band, the Red Hot Chili Peppers?
I’ve had my car exactly a year and half, with 20,248 miles. If good technological advances continue, I could see myself staying in an electric car.
lol that’s a fun Simpson’s plate
There’s a right way to do vanity plates, a wrong way, and the Max Power way.
I charged at Target over the weekend and was surprised how expensive it was. It turns out that $0.64/kWh is a lot lol
Yeah, fast charging is expensive! Most are more like $0.45 here in the Midwest. The charger I use the most was installed by a city, and they charge $0.17, just the going rate for electricity, plus a small fee. Last time I charged it was $9.27 for 48kWh.
The nearest ICE equivalent to our car is the VW Tiguan AWD, which has an estimated 29mpg for highway driving (which is what we do when we fast charge). At the current average price of around $4 per gallon, it’s costing that car 13.8 cents per mile. We get 3.1 miles per kwh, so at around $0.43/kwH we would break even with the Tiguan. Nationally, the average DC fast charging price is $0.53/kwh.
So, highway driving is generally more expensive for us but driving locally is much cheaper (we’re paying $0.095/kwH at home).
The US will get an electric wagon:

All the Tesla Superchargers around here are usually 0.35-0.37. Sometimes cheaper way late. I did some slow charging at the Mall of America last weekend too, I’m sure it was more but I didn’t fill up that much.
I could get behind that.
Assuming it depreciates after a few years. Then, I could buy one.
Ditto
This math really kills the economics of an EV for me as half my already low annual miles are road trips (mostly to visit family).
That would depend on whether you can charge up to 100% at home the night before or at a motel during an overnight stop. They would be much cheaper than fast charging and your overall fuel costs would probably come out a bit cheaper.
Those all sound like things I would not want to sign up for to make it work.
Skipping the annual synthetic oil change and less frequent other maintenance would be a bigger gain.
Needs more wood paneling imo
I‘m sure there are wraps for that.
I’m getting a… erection just thinking about it.
Subaru is about to make an EV that doesn’t suck (i.e. 300+ mile range for once)! 
The other day my commute home (about 30 miles) clocked in at 43.8 mpg.
