I didn't even know there was a credit for used EVs. That makes them even more inticing.

Very cool, the rebates become instant starting in 2024 for EV purchases of new and used vehicles plus leasing. EV tax credit becomes instant dealership rebate in 2024: Here's how (greencarreports.com)

Yes, for me I always hated the idea that you had to wait till the end of the year to get your credit and you had to finance and pay the full amount when it should have been a rebate all along. Now with January 1 2024 the credit becoming an instant rebate at the point of purchase, EVs sales should take off and of course as you pointed out, $4,000 rebate for used EVs makes it very enticing. Another point is that if you have both a 220V outlet for a dryer as well as Natural Gas, and like me your not using the 220V as I use Natural Gas Dryer, then I can easily use that as a home charger circuit breaker to have it in my garage and just change the location. Very excited for this rebate, next year could be the year for my first EV.

If they had two models (2 row and 3 row) that would give them consistency with Chevy and Buick.

I was watching that. It was pretty good. I enjoyed it. Was sad that it wasnt continued. Kinda like in the 1980s... Discontinued abruptly. At least in the original 80s version, there was a 2nd or 3rd season but ended shortly thereafter when that hybrid baby came along. It grew up (fast) I remember as a pre-teen or teen but then the show was canceled... Something like that. The reboot didnt last a season. I enjoyed the two part made for TV movie that spawn the TV series the most. I remember enjoying the 1st season a lot but then the subsequent stories and seasons (those were off and on again as well before being canned for good) were cheesiest. I mean, the whole V thing was cheesy, but it was good cheese. The last episodes of V were not as good is what Im trying to say. The reboot was not cheesy at all. If I rememer correctly, it followed the story beats of the original, but were nicely acted. It was a more grounded production. An interesting outlook on it, the movie Independance Day starring Will Smith in 1996 was EXACTLY the TV movie V for the first 40 or so minutes. The way the ships come into the Earth's atmosphere. The way the ships line up on top of chosen Earth cities. Is all the same. Up until the White House was blown up. In the TV series V, the aliens come down to earth to introduce themselves while sneakily disguising their intentions and their actual reptilian appearance. The movie Independance Day, we get to know the true intentions of the aliens when they destroy the chosen locations. And this is where the two movies separate.

I wrote my comment inside his post!

There was V reboot series about 10 years ago, don't know if it was any good. I remember regularly watching Magnum P.I., Simon & Simon, Hunter, Miami Vice, Sledge Hammer!, Police Squad, MacGuyver, A-Team, Dukes of Hazzard, The Fall Guy, TJ Hooker, Cheers, and Dallas growing up in the 80s. And starting back in the 70s--M*A*S*H*, ChiPs, Dallas and the Rockford Files. During the '88-97 period I didn't watch a lot of TV--was busy w/ college and grad school--but I did enjoy Twin Peaks, The X-Files, and my intellectual guilty pleasure--Beavis and Butthead. I love this montage I found on YouTube of 1980s music, movies and tv set to a popular '80s pop song..

Knight Rider, A-Team, Dukes of Hazzard, Hart to Hart, MacGyver, Magnum P.I., Miami Vice and LOVED V were the only shows I watched. WOW, Talk about a walk down memory lane. Would love a modern CGI version of V as that would just rock.

Its nice to see the trusted PIT maneuver, or any variant form of, outside of the USA with the same American problems plaguing other countries. Maybe the shytty arrogance of Eurotrash snobbiness will dissipate when THEIR societal problems make OUR headlines and pop culture, music and movies in general will talk about THEIR inequalities and lowlife individuals... Now...I CAN be down with some comparisons of which police car has the best PIT maneuver capabilites. That Audi in the video or the legendary 1990s B Body Caprice and last gen Fox body Ford Crown Vic. I put my money on the American cop cars.
