> single-family homes

i like my single family home though. hopefully those units never go out of style and the those big people boxes can be built where people want them.

watch these videos to learn how this sucks today:

which is why if I was a smarter, more educated person, I'd draft a 21 point plan to get vermont into manufacturing! but that's a whole other conversation.

Hey, just saw this!

Shoot me a PM and I can meet you and give you a sign of support to put in your window. Or something you could print off and tape in your car window.

If you'd rather not (the messages here stating that it could lead to your eviction are probably right), help us pass out flyers this weekend or next weekend.

Not on this road. The closest ones are on 7a and 100, right near the gas stations.

We don’t know if this Tesla was stopped because of battery issues. It looks like it’s stopped because it’s a sedan without snow tires driving on an unplowed road. It got stuck because it’s owner was an idiot and driving it in conditions unsuitable for its tires and ground clearance.

ha it was just a joke but seriously - there's a lot of floridians (typically elderly and white) that own a summer house up this way and complain about property taxes.

His books are great, too! "Reading the Forested Landscape" totally changed the way I look at the woods up here.

there are Tons of them in the works. and the more demand the market sees for them the more they'll respond, although it might be a while before the pricing starts to fall. that being said, even the Rivian R1T it out and its pricing is similar to premium pickup (74,800) - my buddy has a mid sized GMC that cost more than that.

For any non-tesla vehicle, because our government is in the pocket of Oil, they're not worth it because you cant reliably road trip with them. If we had a common charging standard that was federally enforced, i'd say we're on track - but charging is a hot mess around the country for everything that not tesla

Sheep farming. Almost all of New England was clear cut for Merino wool.

From Wikipedia:

Merino sheep were introduced to Vermont in 1812. This ultimately resulted in a boom-bust cycle for wool, which reached a price of 57 cents/pound in 1835. By 1837, 1,000,000 sheep were in the state. The price of wool dropped to 25 cents/pound in the late 1840s. The state could not withstand more efficient competition from the other states, and sheep-raising in Vermont collapsed.[39] Many sheep farmers from Vermont migrated with their flocks to other parts of the United States.

Any chance we will see a small 4wd electric pickup before too long?

The photo makes me believe he is stuck in the snow. I bet he has charge still.

Don’t want them here.

You aren’t a Vermonter unless you were born on Vermont soil.

It’s gonna be a dark world when no politician ever makes a statement on a sticky issue and relies solely on their spokesperson/attorney.

Why such a low standard?

Not significantly. It's air resistance and wheel friction that matters with EV's.

It’s really not worth it because these cars hold huge amounts of electricity and even the best gas generators are hugely inefficient at converting the stored chemical-energy in gasoline to kilowatts- most of the energy is converted to heat and wasted. If this car is legitimately out of charge it was 💯driver stupidity and should be treated the same as someone who purposely drives around with their gas light on and then acts surprised when they’re stranded. This situation is super easy to avoid in a Tesla - if this was a Nissan leaf I say similar thing but have a bit more empathy for the car owner (they’d still be considered stupid in my mind but for other reasons). So this is either staged or some rich stupid asshole trying to get attention.

Teslas attract a ton of negative attention because they legitimately pose a threat to Gas cars and make a ton of financial sense from a total cost of ownership perspective. They’re super nice cars and have a great charging network that makes them super practical if you can afford one. You dont sacrifice anything really with a Tesla. These days especially Elon Lightning’s that attention away for being a dipshit, but lots of people still buy them and do stupid shit all the time because they can get attention if they do something stupid in a Tesla. All the gas-bros and petromasculine folks love to feed that attention. this thread is a prime example.

Yes I understand that and that's the same answer people gave last time and you're right. But it still doesn't make it less of bait and switch. Especially how it's broadcasted all over the place yet the wage thing is in small print that you can find by clicking here and then here.

Doesn't do shit for me anyway lol.

Sheep farming. VT used to be almost entirely clean cut of forests. They regrew. That’s why the rock walls are always in the woods. Boom, your story is done. You’re welcome

From the state's point of view they probably don't want to incentivize an influx of cheap labor to be exploited by business owners that don't pay a living wage, and end up taking more in government services than the state is prepared for. Instead,. Of course, they want high paid workers who will pay more state taxes.

I know a lot of rednecks around here that HATE floridians.
