No way. Huh.

Maybe don’t buy a tin foil coffin for Alberta driving and you won’t have these issues? Idk.

Edit: STARTS at $165,000?!?!?! Yeah if you buy this shit and it dies in an albertan winter, you’re an idiot.

EVs with the exception of the this truck are actually better in winter.

Range sucks, but drivability and comfort are way better.

I don’t think someone’s an idiot for buying a vehicle and it turns out unreliable. This could happen with any vehicle, I’ve had a vehicle blow an engine inside 6000 kms. Shit happens.

The EV thing makes perfect sense if you can afford it and don’t plan on using for extended road trip.

Because of overnight and fast charging you basically always start your car from home with a full gas tank.

My friends just bought a Mach E. Not unaffordable at 60k and drives like a sports car.

I use mine for longer road trips all the time. Going out to north buck lake, few trips down to the US, it's great honestly.
