This was 4yrs ago before Ego was sold in Lowe’s and was sold at Home Depot. I didn’t have the ego trimmer the same time I had the ego mower. I believe the trimmer came with a 2.5mah battery. I used it WOT and I drained that battery pretty quick. I learned that afterwards.
I had to mow often with the ego. Because as you know, if it encounters thick grass it will rev up which would use more battery. As I was returning it a guy asked me why I was returning and I told him I loved it but my yard is a little too big for 1 charge but it’s perfect for someone with a smaller yard or someone who doesn’t want to deal with gas. I recommended it to one of my friends who bought the trimmer/blower package.

My yard is .38 acre...so a little smaller but not much...
Can we talk about something that's more related to cars... like a power washer? 
I gave up on gas power washers. I like them for the power but because I don't use it as often and don't drain the gas when done, I'm on a second dead one. The next one if I buy will be electric.

i think it's a toro.
On a different note, I've seen more iX recently. Not sure why but it doesn't look as bad as I first saw it.
but where's the fun in that?

That's because it's a really good car. Just too expensive, still has software issues they need to work through, and price. Although price is coming down, I'm on Lucid's mailing list and they've cut the Air's price more than $10k since I test drove it. I may take a relook at it if the price comes down further. Lease of course

What if I told you that all the new cars I see on the road are Model 3's and Y's? and I see a ton of new Ioniq 5's, BMW ix and Rivians. Would that mean you are totally wrong? How scientific LoL

A friend of mine got a EQE AMG SUV recently and I was finally able to check it out last weekend. I know some people here said they didn’t like the interior and hyperscreen but I thought it looked awesome and futuristic. His is white with the white interior and I thought it looked great and was pretty comfortable. Being the AMG so it’s pretty fast too. He bought it at the end of last year and got $30k off. Great car for a great price IMO.

You're saying that because a Porsche dealership in your area cut the price of an already expensive EV that most people can't afford is sign of the death of BEV's?

The whole dealership is filled with nothing but Taycans.
The 2025 Taycan will have substantial improvements in range and technology. It makes no sense to buy a 2024 anywhere near MSRP right now

For sure the EV market has slowed down, but it's still growing YoY. It's predicted to double this year, in California EV sales have reached 25 percent, up from 2023
