But best I've been seeing was several thousand.

mainly tires and chassis regidity and suspension geometry

Good point.

How bout just swapping the motor in from the Veloster turbo?

Not sure how expensive that would be either. I have knowledge and skills, but not enough to do a full motor/engine swap.

or if it's the same motor with a turbo on it, just use the turbo and stuff

Hmm.

yea it's definitely not a small task

feelsbad

But since the non turbo and the turbo are the same chassis, it wouldn't be too difficult

a lot easier than putting a honda motor into a hyundai

know what i mean?

it all bolts up no custom parts needed

For sure.

but still tons of money and work

I'll have to do some digging and see cost.

I'm probably about to get a better job, so soon expenses won't be a big deal.

probably not worth it imo

Probably not.

As someone with a 117hp Fit, i don't desire more power

Moving on...There's nothing *"magical"* about it (and DON'T try this *"I'm saying but I didn't say"* shit with me), it's **VERY SIMPLE,** new fuel sources means lower fuel prices means lower prices on everything. That's about as magical as air.

The swap + labor cost of a prof shop to do it...

phew.

yeah well it seems magical to me.

Maybe i'm just stupid huh?

can't grasp it.

New fuel sources doesn't immediately, nor automatically translate to lower fuel prices.

It's all relative.

A new fuel source is indicative of a greater product with largely underdeveloped technology. It *might* stimulate the market, but people will largely be opting out regardless until it becomes viable after extensive testing in a wide array of variables. And that "underdeveloped" technology is going to be pricey for some arbitrary period of time.

also people don't immediately adopt it https://i.imgur.com/omQegsK.png

even though it's cheaper

Ok, a couple of good points;
The tech has to come into fullness, but that will happen relatively quickly *IF* circumstances force us to; Case study, synthetic rubber.
The arbitrary period is just that; Arbitrary, it will go up or down based on flipping a coin. If we're forced to adjust (which sooner or later we will be), that period will be longer and the pre-change to change price difference will be a lot closer together

Right, fuel and products might be cheaper. How does this solve the whole minimum wage and UBI thing though

that's the magic i'm talking about

...
Before bread, milk, butter, and coffee cost say $45.
Now it costs say $32.
Your minimum wage effectively just rose, without changing the minimum wage.

All fair. There has to be a demand for companies to chain in a supply. Granted, electric cars while neat and good do have a lot of "bad" per-say on the back-end generating that electricity.

More technology and advancements!

*"bad' on the back end"* And then there's that... 😏

Okay

I understand everything gets cheaper

therefore your wage increases
