We installed a 220 charger at home. Which is also what the Model 3 will need to get 37 miles per hour. I looked it up, and the 110 charge rate for the Model 3 will be around 5 miles per hour.

I’d like to see what kind of hoops I have to jump through if I choose CARE then want to switch cars and buy one outright.

Scenario:
Our Ford Focus EV lease expires in August 2018. We are are interested in buying an XC40 EV once they come out. The EV comes out after the T5. So could we get a T5 XC40 through CARE for the…

Yeah, that lease would work if you don’t have to drive very much. We looked into a similar lease offer on a different car, and the monthly payment doubled when we chose a mileage limit that matched our commute.

I’m not sure if it’s that big a deal when it comes to day-to-day practicality. Most of the public level II chargers in my area have a 25 miles per hour charge rate, so 37 is overkill as it is. And most of my level II charging at home is done at night. 37 miles per hour would be plenty to leave me with a fully charged…

I am an exception to that rule, but it also left me with a perpetually empty bank account. So I can see why they’re typically mutually exclusive.

How I looked at it was that the VSC has the cars maintain spacing so there would still cars all over the track. With the real safety car, the cars are in one group which makes it easier for the workers to go out on track and clean up. In this case, it ended up being an easy cleanup, so the VSC would have probably been…

2nd Gear:

On the plus side, if you’re a little crazy, you can buy hundreds of thousands of shares of Saleen for next to nothing. If the company goes under, you’re out a hundred bucks or so. If they miraculously turn it around, you’ll make a small fortune.

I don’t spend much time inside the LA Auto Show, but I still have fun. I get there right when they open and try to test drive every single car I can. Most of the stations are out front, so you can go for test drives without even paying to get into the show. Probably did close to 25 test drives last time I went,…

I find that if I go through life not doing racist things, people don’t call me racist. Subsequently, I don’t have to defend myself as one of the “not racist ones.” Is it a matter of those who yell “I’m not racist” the loudest are doing so out of a subconscious feeling of guilt? Or is it, like you said, people just…

What tires are on it from the factory? If roll noise is a problem, the solution should be as simple as switching brands, shouldn’t it?

Can you believe it’s a Turo rental? I’d be afraid to let someone else drive that car. my usual daily driver is an Alfa Romeo Spider, but I needed a back seat since my brother was coming to town. What a treat this was, and it gave me some ideas for when I restore the interior of the Alfa. My Mustang has exhaust dumps…

I don’t so much need a traditional fun car as I need an engaging car. My fun car is miserable to drive in traffic, but I still like having to be involved with the drive. I had a ‘67 Volvo to drive this past weekend. I’ve driven a lot of different cars, but this is the first with a dashboard toggle for the electric…

Even more literally the same thing, the Volvo V90 and V90 Cross Country.

$200k is a lot especially since in the two seasons prior to that, he earned a total of $67k in winnings.

He seems pretty good at recognizing young talent; Martin Truex Jr, Brad Keselowski, William Byron. Then he has Josh Berry in late models who won 24 out of 48 races in the past two seasons. I hope he keeps that up. I’d like to see try a couple non-NASCAR races, but even if I doesn’t, I wish him a happy retirement.

I thought it might be too, but there’s another photo where you can see the Lincoln tail lights.

Stick-on porthole vents on a Lincoln? The Mustang missed the better target.

The chargers generally work fine. The problem I’ve had is paying to use the chargers. ChargePoint is pretty popular around here, but occasionally you’ll come across some random charger company you’ve never heard of. They want you to be a part of their charging program. If you don’t have their little payment card…

Let’s not forget that the newer Morgan 3.7L models use a Mustang V6 drive

We lucked out compared to the rest of the people on our flight. We had someone in our group in a wheelchair, so we were taken to the front of the line. Even then, it still took two hours to do everything. And I guess they didn’t have a space big enough for a 777, so we had to take a bus way out to the middle of…
