Its probably limited to that due to the EQ Boost electric motor. Electric motors are usually just a single speed reduction unit somewhere on the driveline and can get over-rev’d. Hence, why I suspect, the top speed is limited to 130mph. Sad, I know

So how on earth is the optioned up spec over $84,000 MORE than the base LT600's $240,000? That’s almost a whole brand new Porsche 718!

Basically, uncle bought it back in the 80's, with dealer custom Black Dupont Paint and wire wheels, work was only 1.5 miles each way so barely racked up any miles. Changed the battery on it in ‘87 and it died on him one fine day and tripped some safety relays for the mechanical fuel injection system. So he parked it…

Easy :’(

a 7.2kW charger isn’t fast charging. That’s the upper limit of Level 2 AC charging. Level 1 would be your normal 120V 15A outlet and DC charging at something like 24kW or above is Fast Charging. Just an FYI :)

AutohausAZ has also been a great alternative for me. Slightly better priced than FCP Euro and orders have always arrived on time if not sooner! Redid the cooling system, AC and suspension on my E36 from them.

The 4-door E36's usually have a plastic battery cover/ micro-parcel shelf protecting the battery. Maybe it wasn’t snapped in properly and/or was just straight up missing and then the WD-40 can did its thing.

I can tell you EXACTLY why your VE30 Maxima was doing this! It’s the camshaft position sensor! When it goes bad there’s absolutely no way of knowing. I went through a 7-page black and white Japanese print writing diagram and used my symptoms of the car going into limp-mode or straight up dying on me and not running…

A barely NP at $3k for this 1990 Max SE. The low miles and cleanliness of it warrant that price or the seller can be talked down to $2.8k-$2.7k I’d assume. These 3rd Gen Maximas have independent suspension at all four corner (unlike the next generations after) so they handle admirably and just are clean and pretty…

Well damn! So the Base “Blue” model can get 700 miles on a tank?! Thats amazing.

Maybe its because of fracing? It sure does look like Frac “mud” to me!

Well damn, that’s pretty impressive! Maybe its time to mount one on my volt haha

Heck, if you have a big enough solar array (like 600 Watts of total power) on an RV, you could decently charge the batteries up and almost never have to use a generator. Someone had a setup powerful enough to run their AC on Li-ion batteries and a similarly sized solar array of like 6 panels! Although you’d have to be…

You can already do it in the Chevy Volt :)

Edit: Just read the whole article, whoops

But no Calypsorot Red :(

That is actually true; if you never charged the Volt, then its MPG on Gas isn’t even in the same league as all the other hybrids in the market. The weight of the battery pack in the Volt may have something to do with the lower MPG, and on the 1st-gen volt, they’re using an IRON-block 1.4 Liter for the gas engine, like…

Then you’re not using the volt like its meant to be used, which is, like a plug-in hybrid. For perspective, last oil change on my “old” 2013 Volt was 30,000 miles ago. Why? Because I’ve only used the gas engine 18% of the time over the past 20 months with an average of 202 MPG currently. If we want to get pedantic,…

So basically, this 2019 Insight is a NON-plug-in version of the Chevy Volt (because Parallel/Series-Hybrid) with 1-2 miles of electric range, less power and 80-100 lb-ft LESS of torque.

Congrats! Now the First things first, change ALL of the Cooling system. The Radiator (plastic end tanks), plastic flanges that go to the engine block (under the intake manifold), cylinder head (at the back of the head and between the firewall), Thermostat housing (plastic), water pump (the impeller is plastic, use…
