1000 people surveyed.

This a meaningless number of both gen z and zoomers?

Ugh. Did they manage to make it fun again yet? Asking for a friend

I got our oil removed and heat pumps installed through masssave last fall.

I ended up getting 5 quotes that varies from $20k-50k. Two of the installers wanted to do ducted systems and eventually we ended up around $30k with a good installer.

We paid the 10k as a down payment in November. Got the 0% interest loan about $150/month. We just got the rebate check in the mail. And 150/mo plus the new electric rate is still cheaper than oil. Long term I’m hoping it will pay for itself.

Paid to go thru hiking in eaither case

You sure? I see like a lot of dots at all the intersections

Ehhh he’s fairly spot on. When I didn’t have insurance I had to go to the ER or try to find a doc that would write a prescription “under the table” - which never went well. No urgent care would see me.

Now that I have insurance I’ve only been to the ER for a real emergency once.

Still going to the ER with insurance wiped out my savings though, so I don’t really see all that much difference.

Odd I got the site and not a rick roll. Try rejecting the cookies?

Well Ive not quite made it to 100000mi on the odometer. It’s likely I’ll be able to take it to 200000 with the same sort of range I have now… So that’s about 10-12 years of life for me without a worry. Maybe it goes more, maybe I get in an accident before 2029 (10years of use and I’ll be around 150000mi or less).

Ive heard people are scared of the batteries. But that fear doesn’t match what I’ve experienced. I had a recall on mine that was not big deal. it’s really not as concerning as it’s made out to be. I’m mostly hoping there’s a better recycling system in place when I do actually need a new battery, just show I know the old one is taken care of properly. But likely the rest of the car will wear out first.

Ps I don’t drive much during the week, longer weekend drives, and then long drives a few times a year.

I have a 2017 bolt EV - bought used, not one that is advertised as having great mileage even in 2017. I routinely take it 400-500mi plus drives with one or maybe two charge stops for vacation and family trips. Middle of ME to the southern tip of NJ. My home is somewhere in the middle.

Charged off my 110 outlet since I got to car (about 4 years) up to last month Oct 2023 when I got a 220v outlet installed as part of another project. One charge was enough for the week. Occasionally I’d plug in at work or at a friends. Worst case actually pay $5-9 for a DC quick charge if I know I’m doing a long drive. All that is way easier if you just have a place to plug in consistently at home.

I don’t get the negativity most people have twords EVs. Everyone is astounded when I say I just plug it into the wall and have to plan longer trips slightly more, like that’s not news anymore.

And there’s a bunch more DC chargers than when I first started driving an EV - so it’s wayyy easier for new folks to adopt.

Okay we can all go home. Fal says “C is MUCH better.” Argument over

Oh I gotcha now, agreed

Ehhhh conviction isn’t super admirable if it’s something stupid.

I don’t think a flat earther’s conviction is admirable.

But at least theyre less stupid than flat earthers… So far…

Ps I’m starting think Fal is losing it in this comment section…

Oh yea I think I do agree with you that the C scale is objectively better.

Not nearly as hard as you are working to represent F in chat about personal preference

68-80 are similar temps. I’m comfy at both. I wear the same thing outdoors at both temps.

I’m sorry you don’t I guess and are offended that someone else is different than you.

20-30 is easier to understand than 68-80 for most people (obviously there’s an exception)

Lol can’t tell, is this 85% stupid or closer to 100?

68 is shorts and T-shirt weather in my part of the world. No one carries a jacket around if it’s that warm. Maybe it’s cold to you if you live between the tropics? I can’t speak to that

20-30c is a cool shortcut that F doesn’t really have. The original comment is just a decent guideline and “I just don’t believe that you can’t understand” what a guideline is.

But if you need all this stuff to exist outside in nice weather maybe a quick guideline is not for you…
