    Looks nice! Did you lease or buy? (I'm always in favor of buy, but I keep cars 13-20 years and I detest payments)

      Buy.

      I detest monthly payments, too, unless they are investments in securities πŸ™‚

      Looks like I'll have to get a wallbox soon.

            No, I don't think at all that I'm doing something for the environment. If you add all the various effects together, the car is at best neutral compared to a traditional car. I'm just an above-average-earning leech who profits from a highly subsidized car paid for, to a large degree, from taxes by people who could never afford a car like that.

                        OK, now that the car is settled, can we get some emojis that aren't embarrassing to use?

                              I'm just curious, what is the cost to replace the battery? I've heard for most EV's it's much more than to replace a gas engine.

                              Your new car looks really nice! Very stylish. Give us a report after you drive it a bit.

                                My impression is that nobody wants to say this aloud but the plan seems to be to dispose the whole car together with battery.

                                      Nope. We took only the basics. Which already contains a lot in a Hyundai.

                                          You wouldn't go fast, or far, but you'd by stylin' when you did!

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
