You don’t need autonomous vehicles to solve parking garage problems, you just need an automated car stacker/sorter. They’re actually pretty common these days with new construction in urban areas.

All over the States. Basically the business puts up signs (usually at the front of the parking lot near the handicap spaces) that are supposed to be reserved for expecting mothers.

“Expectant mother spaces.” Wha? Where do they have those?

The difference is you can drive anything Tesla cross country due to their great charging infrastructure, chademo or the other CSS chargers are a joke, and even if you manage to find one they are unreliable and priced all over the place. I owned a first gen leaf and put 40k miles before my lease was up, now drive a…

Does any of the ~$35K competition have RWD and  a sub-6-second 0-60 time?

“And the Canadian version could be the,”

So if each station is a 100 kWh station, that would mean 5000 kWh, or 5 MWh. Somehow I get the impression that not everyone is going to be able to charge at once, at least not at maximum capacity.

It makes more sense, since the garage is already wired for electricity.

The $35,000 is with the tax credit. The car really base costs $42,500

So the parking garage of the future looks like a normal (if very nice) garage with EV chargers?

I think most important is if they finally added liquid cooling or not. Part of the big issue with Nissan Leafs has been their terrible thermal management system.

Nope it doesn’t, those that took it apart see a quite healthy profit margin at base 35k prices.

That actually doesn’t look bad...

Behold the E911.

David, this article is beyond beautiful and I cant thank you enough for all the heart and soul you put into writing this, the many many hours we spent together and the kindness and care you invested. I certainly have made a new friend along the way and beyond grateful our paths crossed. I also want to thank everyone…

I did not expect to come to Jalopnik for the feels this afternoon, but man...This is easily one of the best pieces I’ve ever read here - Kudos!

Articles like this are the reason I’ve been following and recommending Jalopnik for all these many years. Highs and lows but so much hope and inspiration in this woman’s story. I welled up when you wrote of her trip to Maranello as just an average tifosa and not a learned mechanic and the awe at which she discovered…

David, thanks again for another amazing story. Maybe the best one I’ve read here, yet, even though I was familiar with the awesomeness of the Helms’.
