- Glad I deleted it, then. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:30 2
  - mind you, I only compare it to that because they both came out around the same time of year and were both take off the regular rotation - Jovian Jul 27, 10:33 1
    - for shows that are designed the be one season, the networks shouldn't care too much about ratings. just get over it and play it. -- nm - sycor Jul 27, 10:36

- Oh I like this. Garfield is being criminally underpaid for Spiderman btw - MDH Jul 27, 10:45 4
  - British actors are normally cheaper. -- nm - LMS Jul 27, 10:51
  - I call that overpaid. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:46 2
    - While I am in no way excited for a reboot, 500K for a guaranteed huge movie in nothing -- nm - MDH Jul 27, 10:49 1
      - "guaranteed huge movie" is overstating it a bit. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:50
- FAIL - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:40

Chevy Volt: $41k -- (link) - oblique Jul 27, 10:18 49
- A bit expensive, even with the tax credit, but they'll sell a bunch. Sadly, it's an ugly car. -- nm - Krusty Jul 27, 10:24 4
  - it's not that bad. I've seen worse. - znufrii Jul 27, 10:39
  - It looks like the Ford Fusion to me. I'm ok with it. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 27, 10:26 2
    - I think the Fusion looks much better, mainly the hood/front end. - Krusty Jul 27, 10:33 1
      - Either way, they all look better than the Prius. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 27, 10:40
- 40 miles per charge. As long as I could charge it at work (maybe I should start scouting parking spots in the garage near outlets) I could eliminate - oblique Jul 27, 10:20 43
  - Wow. Weren't they originally saying more like 100 miles? - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:21 42
    - 40 miles is enough to cover at least half of a round-trip commute for most people... - znufrii Jul 27, 10:25 23
      - But *having* to plug it in somewhere other than home is a deal breaker for a lot of people. - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:27 8
        
        that's a good point - znufrii Jul 27, 10:28 5
        
        I don't see the problem. Just run it on gas until you get to plug -- nm - JD Jul 27, 10:41 4
        
        Yeah, an incremental improvement is better than no improvement. - musubi, adorable Jul 27, 10:44 1
        
        $ -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:46
        
        for people who don't have regular access to a plug...have to park on the street or what have you... - znufrii Jul 27, 10:43 1
        
        If you don't have a garage this absolutely is not the car for you. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 10:48
        
        Then it runs on gas the way back. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 27, 10:28 1
        
        (which is my major issue with the "all electric" vehicles.) - JaxSean Jul 27, 10:32
      - Per Chevy 75% of people have a commute of less than 40 miles per day. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 10:26 13
        
        My round trip is 30 miles, and I live in the biggest city in the continental US. - JaxSean Jul 27, 10:27
        
        25% of people have a commute of more than 40 miles per day? - TFox Jul 27, 10:27 10
        
        Seems low. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:27 9
        
        Seems mad high to me. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 10:28 8
        
        I wouldn't be surprised if a larger percentage commutes >40mi in Southern Cal. - musubi, adorable Jul 27, 10:31
        
        depends if they're talking 40 miles each way, of 40 round-trip - znufrii Jul 27, 10:29 3
        
        It's one-way, it's based on a DOT survey. -- (link) - Ender Jul 27, 10:33 2
        
        Wait, I didn't say what I meant to say. I meant it's 40 miles round trip, 20 miles one-way. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 10:34 1
        
        I was gonna say... - znufrii Jul 27, 10:35
        
        Isn't RI like 10 miles wide, though? :) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 27, 10:28 1
        
        a whopping 37 miles! and that's the short way! - TFox Jul 27, 10:32
        
        (but i also live in a very small place, so what do i know.) -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 10:28
        
        I'd rather base it on time, cause 40 miles could take 4 hours in some places...\ -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 10:26
    - It's up in the 100 range if you include the gas engine -- nm - oblique Jul 27, 10:23 17
      - 340 miles actually with a full tank of gas. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 10:25 15
        
        but doesn't using gas kinda of defeat the purpose of the thing in the first place? -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 10:25 14
        
        Hell no. Google "Gallons per Mile" (as opposed to Miles per Gallon) and see the difference. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 27, 10:33
        
        You're never going to be able to mass market a car that can only be plugged in for hours when it runs out of range. - Ender Jul 27, 10:28 7
        
        Uh, isn't Honda doing it? - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:32 6
        
        While I'm sure Honda probably has a similar model, I think the Nissan Leaf is the all-electric that's closest to market. (nm) - musubi, adorable Jul 27, 10:39 1
        
        That was the one, Nissan. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:42
        
        And we'll see how "mass" that market turns out to be. - Ender Jul 27, 10:35 1
        
        See below. But the company is one of the majors. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:37
        
        I don't think Tesla cars have a gas tank. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 27, 10:34 1
        
        They don't. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:36
        
        but what percentage of your trips are more than 40 miles? -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 10:27
        
        no. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 10:26
        
        You still get super better milage. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:26
        
        even using electricity isn't all it's cracked up to be depending on how it has been generated... -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 10:26 1
        
        typical internal combustion engine efficiency is like 20%. Even taking that oil and buring it to produce electricity gets you to about 30%. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 10:35
      - Ah, that's right. Forgot which one was all electric, which one was not. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:24
