I wish there were $5k EV trucks that can tow

Written like someone who doesn't understand the need for high range and rapid refill/recharge to take the kids on a memorable trip to see corn and dirt for 16 hours on their way to a 3 day stay in South Dakota for 10 minutes of viewing Mt Rushmore as the lord intended

when the head gasket blows they won't have to worry about driving the subaru anymore 😂

Can confirm. Have EV. Have Subaru. Love EV. Hate Subaru.

Why does the dude look like he spent the last 40 minutes smugly rating the smell of his own farts?

Fam needs trains.
electric trains.

Why does he have his eyes shut in every panel?

The Outback is [...] slow

I had to pause here for a moment because my wife's 2016 Subaru Outback is the fastest of our cars and has some serious pick-up-and-go. I couldn't understand why they were complaining about it being slow.

Then I remembered my wife specifically requested the V6 engine variant of the Outbacks. Only 1% of them are made with a V6 engine and there's a waiting list a year or two long for one, depending on where you live. It's worth it; it feels like driving an EV with how quickly it picks up speed, and with the amount of weight it can tow. And since it's so rare, they deck them out with all the options. You don't get a choice; they come with everything pre-installed.

We got lucky; we bought ours from a Subaru dealership where all the employees were salaried, so they didn't give a shit whether we bought a car or not. They weren't pushy or trying to haggle a price. The sticker price was the cost, end of story. You either pay it or leave.

We were both active duty military at the time we bought it, and they had a deal where AD military paid 10% below the MSRP price, so we only paid around $34K for it. It was almost $38K MSRP in 2016. So we got a deal and it's been a mostly reliable car this past decade.

My extended family all buys Subarus; they really love them. I'm the black sheep; my personal car is actually a Mazda. 😜

Nothing against you, OP. I just don't enjoy these comics. They're telling me things I already knew and they're not particularly funny while doing it.

If being relatable was the only thing you need to tell a joke, then "how about that airplane food?" wouldn't have become the stand-in joke for a "bad comedian".

EVs are only really viable if you live in the city or the suburbs and have a consistent schedule. Out in rural communities or your schedule changes weekly? Not so much. Ford offering a free charging station installation with purchase of a new EV helps but only if you can afford a new one.

And I mean rural as in you travel a minimum of 30 minutes one way just to get groceries. Upwards of an hour to work.

When a really really good electric car comes out things will change. Right now gas is superior, 10 years from now electric may be.

I won't buy an internet connected car, so that rules out EVs unless I convert an old car myself.

They should rename this community "Strips"

With my driving habits electric is twice as expensive as gas.

This is assuming electricity is free and gas is more expensive than it is now. The electric cars are luxuriously expensive to buy, even if cheaper to operate.
