That's not what it's actually costing me, this is what is being estimated based on kWh usage. It's not accounting for the solar I'm generating, which it has no idea that it exists

I totally do! I just need to go better places lol
Ocean City, MD not NJ. Plenty of places for chargers in OC, theres a huge parking lot down at the Inlet that is never full...believe it or not there is also plenty of open real estate on the bayside and in West OC etc.
ocean city is very densely populated, and also very old. getting megawatts of power for a supercharger there might be an issue, plus there might not be real estate available, or the cost is likely so astronomical it’s not worth it. plus, it’s NJ so ******taxes*******.

Toyota’s $21K EV Sold 3,100 Units in Just One Hour
Tremendous response to the Toyota bZ7 flagship EV shows buyers don’t hesitate when the price is rightKey Points
- The Toyota bZ7 EV saw over 3,100 reservations in its first hour in China.
- Larger than a Tesla Model S, the bZ7 starts at just $21,500 with premium features.
- Low price is due to Chinese manufacturing, domestic tech partnerships, and aggressive local competition

Toyota is going big, and when the elephant as big they are decides to throw their hat in the ring, other legacys should be close by.
Let the games begin.

lol I know I’m in the minority here but at least the BMW got rid of the huge buck tooth grille. The MB front reminds me of the pig in the old Angry Birds game and the rear reminds me of an old VW. I do like the interior of the MB better.
