They are breaking down. I just saw somebody call Trump “gay” because of this post. I’m not sure his campaign can recover from this. The GOP should consider running a replacement.

"Even before the debate, the media studiously minimized Trump’s criminal convictions, fascist rantings, verbal diarrhea and his use of language literally out of Adolf Hitler’s playbook. Instead, they decided that the most important story in this race was Biden’s age."

The last week felt much like the other two events that most advanced American fascism—that being the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the Trump election. There's a pervasive and inescapable feeling of dread and despair around, because, as fascists see it, there is supposed to be.

Mere exposure to misinformation, retroactively fucks with your memory. Even arguing about it, will do this. Even if it's a seemingly tiny detail. The more you go "no are you fucking with me? I saw it with my own eyes, you're just making shit up," the more that misinformation will fuck with it.

Yeah if you are buying a first gen Leaf used, the price is probably the main motivator. But some people recognize, they dont need to drive 200 miles a day, you can recharge the Leaf from a regular 110 outlet...it is a very cost effective solution if you are ok with the limitations.

Actually I have been frequenting a forum for Leaf owners, surprising how many are buying old Leafs, knowing the issues but finding they can make them work for their needs. I'm saying most people aren't buying used EVs blindly, there is plenty of news about potential issues.

I think there really is an issue for the Leaf with fast chargers overheating the battery and an inadequate cooling system. So I hit the warranty almost a year before it expired, I was counting on it. But it sounds like these problems are being solved and battery tech is improving fast.

I feel like they gave me a new car, I can use it for more than the local trips I was using it for. Altho longer trips are a whole different thing I'm learning. Figure out where the good chargers are, but be careful not to overheat with a fast charger. Might be the core issue with the Leaf battery

Even my Leaf still could have handled my daily commute up til the warranty kicked in. Thanks to the problems with the earlier models (first production EV, give them credit), mine came with a warranty, which they recently honored with a new, larger capacity battery 😎.

I'm just driving a Leaf, and I mostly leave the "eco" setting on because otherwise it loves to go fast but your range will disappear if you abuse it, in addition to eating tires.

I definitely had to change my driving habits, and use appropriate settings, to save tire wear. When I first started driving it, it was too easy to spin the tires until you get used to it.
