Costco's meat is better than any grocery store I have access to, and on par with the butcher I go to. It's not as good as a steak restaurant but most people can't buy that quality on the open market. Though it is quite possible that this is location specific.

So you slow down to a crawl in some places and make people wait behind you or you wait until the roads are plowed and salted. Your aren't driving the speed limit if the snow is anywhere near the bottom of your car.

I wasnt talking about light snow.

Yeah I looked at a mini once.. couldn't afford it.

There is no crisis because the Canadian province of Alberta is as close to America as it gets in Canada and the Premier met with a Trump advisor and caved. But it would be a great source of pain if Canada leverages it, especially during CUSMA negotiations.

Generally people use the newer ICE for long trips and the older one for around town because few people can afford two brand new cars. That's why it's such a problem that EVs are so expensive, because people don't buy an expensive car to just go around town.

Try driving in heavy snow with a small car and then with an SUV. With a small car you go where the ruts go. With an SUV or a truck you make the ruts.

Studies on real world use place PHEVs at 19% efficiency.

Did you pay her for the electricity you used?

When they create laws to limit driving time and I also restrict driving for people on medications or just had a bad sleep you may have a point. But last I heard, the world won't stop for you if you are too tired to drive and plenty of people do it.

I think most EV proponents never drive in snow.

Finally an EV owner admits that it takes effort!!

"it's ok for your road trip to be worse if you don't do it that often". I love that argument. The fact that I get so little time off is why I want every road trip to go perfectly.

That's great for you, but most people can't afford to fly and rent a vehicle.

I love how EV proponents think they can speak for all drivers.
