FRS is a pretty sweet car. If it works for you, do it. It'd just the wife and I, but we ended up with a WRX hatchback after waiting 2+ years for the FRS because the FRS felt a little too cramped and not quiet as good for camping.

Sounds pretty awesome to me. I'd use it camping for sure. Also, would be nice to have a tire pump that you could just plug into your car to put air in your tires.

How long am I going to have to wait for what is essentially a WRX hatchback EV? That's all I really need to know.

That looks pretty sweet, but now you've just made me sad.

You are aware there are 12v compressors that you can in fact plug into your car and inflate your tires, right?

Of course! I mean... what kind of idiot wouldn't know that!

Because consumers are idiots, the average person that can afford a new electric car does not have a massive commute or really drive that much at all much less cross country. Range anxiety is not a technical problem, it’s an education problem not solved by sticking fast chargers out in the middle of nowhere.

If you think you can educate the entire world on that topic, by all means go for it. In the meantime, putting chargers "out in the middle of nowhere," just like gas stations, is the more immediate solution.

Well you see small SUVs are at where cars were 10 years ago so there's "no penalty."

Saying "or the battery will explode" was probably your problem. There's lots of complex poo poo floating around in our world where if it breaks, it can break rather terribly. Engineers do a bunch of work to make sure that it doesn't happen, but it is still theoretically possible. But people aren't going to take the time to understand all that and don't realize how the world around them works. Telling them something like that is inviting them to be terrified without giving them the knowledge regarding what has been done to prevent such a thing from happening.

So yeah, don't do that.

People should really look at people's rap sheet before spending time arguing with people. Alternatively, people with crazy rap sheets should not be allowed to post anymore. Crazy talk, I know.

Again, the guy has 97 entries in his rap sheet. Put him on ignore and move on, at least until the mods decide to finally permaban him.

I had them on my 2010 Forester. Standard cold weather package stuff, doubtless pretty expensive to replace, never had to.

You sure it's on the actual glass? On my 14 WRX they are at the base of the windshield where the wipers hang out when they're off.

And I've had to replace the windshield and it wasn't any more expensive than normal.
