Just got another free month of FSD.
Same here. It still sucks, and the maps still don't know what the speed limit is once you're off the state highways. I used it this morning and thought, "wow, this is an improvement over last time." On the way home it was *********. Tried to turn into the left lane on Hwy30 for no reason, right infront of another vehicle. Turned onto a 2 lane county rode and it was trying to drive 67mph down it. Then another county road and it didn't want to do more than 40mph.

It still sucks.

Never for me. If you want one or have one, then that's cool and totally your prerogative, but I will never own one which is also my perogative. I enjoy liquid fuel vehicles. To each their own though.

What’s so special about liquid fuel?

I overheard someone say there’s a level 3 charger at fareway in Knoxville that was pretty cheap.

I have about a 360 mile range on my all electric BMW and an average consumption of 2.7 mi/kWh. From home I generally stay fully charged through a 110 outlet in my garage, but don’t always bother if I’m above 80% or so. On long trips I leave home fully charged and plan to re-charge when my range is under 80 miles or so. (Occasionally I’ve encountered out-of-service chargers, but usually not all the chargers at a location are non-functioning. Phone apps, i.e. ElectrifyAmerica, ChargeHubEV locate charging stations and availability, including whether they are out of service, and of course whether they are Tesla-only or compatible stations.) (Looking forward to when Tesla conforms their network to make theirs compatible with others.) Generally charging at public chargers gets to about 80% full charge and either cuts off, slows dramatically or the cost per KWh increases substantially, so that’s all the higher I go when traveling.

I bet he regrets that admission at this point.
I don't know what I think about Farley, he simultaneously makes great decisions and some real head scratchers. Reading between the lines with the guy I think he believes that we're heading towards a BEV future sooner rather than later. The problem is that his company doesn't have a counter to these Chinese BEVs that might end up flooding the market in the next 5ish years. The Lightning and Mach E are pretty good cars but he doesn't have anything that competes with that xiaomi at the moment.

If Goldman Sachs is right, we might be at a tipping point real soon to find out though if BEV's are going to start taking more market share.

Just watched a review on this X7 and it looks very nice. The one they drove(Max) had the big battery, air suspension, etc and was around $42k. Like the typical Chinese vehicle, you can tell they stole a lot of their ideas, but it had a few things that were really nice and I had never seen before.

New Costco has an EV charger, it will be interesting to see if they expand back to existing stores.

For a minute there, I read this as the new Costco in Ankeny has an EV charger, and I was excited, but then I realized you meant that new Costco's were installing EV Chargers. Plus it looks like you are in Portland, OR. ;) Do the Costco's out there have EV charging? It would be fantastic if they started putting EV charging at all Costco's, right next to the fuel stations....
