Ford is marketing to the wrong people. Where I live, north Texas suburbia, almost every household owns at least one truck. Half of those are F150s. They haul children and groceries. It is very rare that they ever haul anything a normal sedan couldn’t. Despite the fact that you can’t legally buy them here, there is…

Except that was a Nikola “hydrogen powered” semi/lorry.

Big ass cable with a bunch of electricity going through it that could snap in a wreck and electrocute people. Also the wiring and the computer in the vehicle would have to be able to recognize and play nice with a completely different manufacturers product. Without universal standards for charging ports or…

I live in the city and had a new underground electrical service installed in the back yard of my 1/8 acre lot. Electrician rented one of these. Squeezed right through the 4’ gate of my fence and he easily dug the 3 trench from the ally to my house.

Couldn’t help but think of...

Here’s my idea.

In 98 degree weather, foot to the floor and A/C running I got 7.5 mpg. I wanted more, but happy it’s not less. Fuel tank is a generous 125 gallons and yes, it’s painful to fill it up from empty!

What kind of fuel mileage does it get? How big is the fuel tank? Do both of the wipers (have to) run at the same speed?  Is it pretty quiet on the highway with the engine in the back?  Do you kneel the bus to let yourself out (at a fuel stop)?

“Yet, it just handled the 1,200-mile journey home from Texas better than the Chevrolet HHR I rode in to pick it up.” A halfway decent Power Wheels could handle a cross-country road trip better than an HHR.

This maybe a dumb question, have you thought of parking the Smart car in here as well as bikes?

And a thousand ports.

You missed a few things which any old trucker could’ve told you. First off, in trucker parlance, these are called “Maxis”, as opposed to the non-spring brakes, which were just called “cans”. On your typical 18-wheelers, you’ll find maxis on only the last drive axle and the 2 trailer axles, never on the steer, and…

is there anyone actually in charge around here? 

Imagine a Ranger EV repowered with LiFePO4 batts, or LI batts.  More capacity, less weight, providing a one-two punch that doubly delivers in added range and increased load capacity.  Precious little downside there.  All it takes is money, honey.

I always wondered why golf carts were so expensive. Is it just because people will pay that much?

Keenserts, for when it has all gone terribly wrong. Including plugs, for holes that aren’t where they are supposed to be.

Not if you’re older. Seniors love ‘em because it’s slide-in, slide-out right at hip level. Which is why old folks love crossovers.

Damn. I guess the real question is how terrible aerodynamically are those roof rails then?

Ok, since these should be mechanically very similar to the current version of the Bolt, should be able to get the coilovers for those under one these then have a normal ride height and more leg room for those in the back.  With the right tires you could have a Bolt EV-L Hot Hatch then.

That interior tells you this thing is very close to production.
