I wish there would be more support for electrified rail freight, but I also get that loading and unloading would make it less timely than point to point trucking.

Calvin’s dad: You know where in California, the cities are surrounded by an impenetrable wall of techbros and Hollywood actors, so all the smug that comes out of California drivers’ asses are stuck in the LA and Bay Area, choking all the regular people that take transit. A California emissions package is an activated…

Automotive grade semiconductors generally aren’t the types you see in consumer cell phones and consoles.

The same reason everything north of the Bronx is upstate NY.

At least this time COVID-19 doesn’t officially gloss to “Chinese-Origin Virus ID’d in 2019".

The worst part is, I did a ride along with a cop when I was a kid and he rolled like every stop sign (without his lights on) and got mad at me when I pointed it out...

Most definitely keyless. VWs also have keyless fobs and they’re likely the same electronics underneath, so they can be programmed the same way.

That sounds like the process of having a valet steal your car later.

I suspect any key from VWAG will work.

The black body cladding is there to protect your ego from seeing how much like a minivan this thing is. It visually slims up the side profile so it looks like it’s a body sitting on an actual frame but in fact is just a midsize MPV.

Is that the new Lexus WT-F?

Pretty sure California already mandates 220v EV prep hook ups in new construction.

If you’re looking for appearance mods, I’m pretty sure most of the regular Abarth/GTI/Focus ST parts bolt right on to their respective EV counterparts. That would tip my preference towards these compliance cars and away from something like the i3.

How does it have actual NY plates? Show and display?

I haven’t been able to track down the gas leak that makes the entire interior smell like gas when it’s running, so that and the lack of time means I’ve had mine parked for a while now. And when once it’s parked, it’s harder and harder to get back into it. Also doesn’t help when I don’t have a garage of my own and it’s…

Everything I’ve heard is for the childrens. lol.

I have no idea why more dealers don’t leverage service loaners as basically an extended test drive. They gave my wife a midsized SUV as a service loaner and she’s absolutely in love with the thing.

If you are using my tax money to benefit everyone, such as COVID testing sites, vaccinations for everyone, etc., then that is a good use of money.

To be even more pedantic, it’s very likely that the rank and file assembly workers reside in San Joaquin or Stanislaus county, as they do not get paid enough to live anywhere near Alameda or Santa Clara.

Good luck with sale, lol.
