Though my reason for not wanting one is that their quality control, which was already questionable, has tanked over the last couple of years. budget slashing often leads to less quality. Add in with all the prices cuts they re doing there is almost no resale value. lease and EV right now

My wife has always been the lessee among us, wheres my preference has always been to buy a giant depreciating asset. I think she's the smarter one. I gave my 18-year-old daughter my 2019 Accord and needed to replace it with a reasonable payment. I couldn't pass that deal up. Also, I only drive 10k miles a year. I can fully charge it with no problem with a 12-A-120 VAC outlet. Honda gives you the option for a portable charging kit with a 120-240 plug and an EVGO credit for $300 or a home charging station with a $500 installation credit and a $100 public charging credit. If you drive more than 12k a year and want a faster charge, you would have an electrician wire a 240 vac 30amp-40amp plug in your garage. That's all you need 1

Also one of the witnesses said as soon as the dude flipped the switches to drop down like Dre in a 65 Impala, that's when it exploded. Just a wild guess, but probably not a great idea to keep a bunch of explosive material around a hi power lithium battery. 1
azgreg Posted January 2 Posted January 2 They're saying now that he shot himself before the explosion. Found a gunshot wound in teh head and a gun on the floorboard.

Conspiracy theorists must be having a field day with this one. Right? Just look at this thread. It started off by blaming Elon Musk and Tesla, with jokes to boot. And now we have people blaming Trump because somehow he might be responsible for a military guy driving the "defective" Tesla getting a divorce and losing a buddy in whatever war Trump started. Which was none. And the best one is, it "wasn't a bomb" but some random guy who was just pimping his rented Tesla filled with gas, firework mortars and other explosive devices. A rented Tesla at Trump Tower. Nothing to see here. This whole thing will be on a new series soon called Pimp My Ride Gone Bad with Jay Z and Whoopi Goldberg. Echo. 1

Shouldn't people wait for information to come out before they jump to conclusions, some idiotic, no? This is just another troll thread by the usual suspects.
AztecAlien Posted January 2 Posted January 2 How in God's name is that toxic waste dump of a human being still able to post? Retrofade deleted another one of his elegant posts this morning so the board couldn't see it. And yet, here he is again. Go teams and shit. 1
AztecAlien Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Hey @Old_SD_Dude, would you like to address what's going on in this thread? Step up and be a righteous dude.

Do you have a red stapler they gave you at your used car lot? if I woke up one day and looked like you and lived your lame existence at the car lot with your pig of a wife I’d do the only honorable thing and kill myself
The Barber Posted January 2 Posted January 2 On 1/2/2025 at 8:59 AM, InnZoneU said: It would probably help if they explained that this wasn't a bomb. If this was intentional, then the dude is an idiot for thinking packing a bunch of fireworks along with gas and propane camping containers was going to do any type of damage. And coming from an Army background, it's hard to imagine he'd think he'd be doing anything other than blowing himself and the car up. I think they did explain that once the investigation progressed. I can see why it was reported as a potential bomb at first, because there was an explosion of sorts. At first, there was also some speculation that the Truck had exploded and some people are fearful of EVs catching on fire. It looks like this guy was mentally ill, and wanted to send a message to Trump / Musk for some reason. Just guessing, maybe he thought the fireworks would catch the EV battery on fire? Those batteries are pretty shielded, though, and it looks like it didn't work.

But before any information was given, it was Elon Musk and a defective Teslas fault, right? All you had to do is watch the video and put 2 & 2 together to realize it was something else. I know some folks here have a tough time with that. So, are you gonna watch the first episode of season 1 of Pimp My Ride Gone Bad too? SMFH. 1
AztecAlien Posted January 3 Posted January 3 There seems to be some posts missing. Any explanations? Is this a conspiracy and is someone on cover up detail?
