Also management can’t be union so what is going to happen is that a giant hierarchy is going to be put in, so that say every shift has like “entry level managers” who barely earn more than the line worker, has to do all the line work, plus management work, and doesn’t have union protections.

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…

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.

I read that as M-B having fewer trim levels in dealer stock, but you could special order. Theoretically they can do whatever you want to do to your Maybach, it’ll just cost you.

Technically, isn’t that just a shorthand for a battery plant with > 1GWh annual capacity?
