| Subaru is for a woman who has just given up on everything: her looks, fun, social scene, and any hope of being appealing to a man. |
Sorry you’re too poor to have an LX. They’re one of the best SUVs in the history of SUVs. |
Why can’t EV drive long distances? |
America’s cars in aggregate contribute 2.5% of the total global green house gas emissions. So if every American stopped driving tomorrow, we’d go down to 97.5% of the emissions we had today. So, I don’t think a car that gets 30mpg is really a meaningful contributor vs one getting 40… |
EVs can go thousands of miles. Their batteries, not so much. Since it sounds like you skipped 7th grade science; batteries rely on a chemical reaction to provide electricity. Extreme temperatures of cold (or heat) reduce the efficiency of said reaction requirement. To make matters even better than killing their range, they cannot even efficiently charge in inclement weather. In perfect weather an EV max range is almost 300 miles. Mercedes had the record for consumer based model. |
| that tesla truck, any oversized truck that isn't covered in dirt/dinged up, and hummers. |
And I'm happy about it! Technically I haven't given up on fun -- there are plenty of things I enjoy doing -- but the rest of that stuff? Even my Outback doesn't have room for it. |
We saw one of these on the road in Colorado last weekend. It looks like some lego blocks smooshed together. So ugly. |
Suburus are the official car of birders, because you can get your scope on a tripod in the back. Suburu even played to this (still plays to it?) with an on-board birding app. Although I'm pretty sure birding doesn't elevate Subaru's coolness factor in the minds of the bashers here. Anyway, I don't own a Suburu, I own an ID.4 and there's plenty of room for the tripod. |

One pulled up at camp drop off and every single parent cringed |
I love defying the stereotypes. I can’t be the only straight, married, ultra-feminine, dress-wearing, non-sporty Mom of 3 adult DC, tooling about in my candy-colored Crosstrek, right? Maybe I’m closer to the Jeep Girl stereotype? I’d have driven this car in my 20s had it been available. |
Oh man, I didn’t realize EVs had single use batteries. How hard is it to change them? |
