There are three ways to go with this kind of ride.

Mainly I find myself thinking ‘What a fantastic choice for an EV swap!’

Well... 24%, really.

The despicable dilapidated Dodge B350 van in which I delivered appliances in the mid-1980s had this feature.

Better then 60 lb/ft from 4000 rpm up is pretty good for a 475 pound vehicle.

SRAM, good sir, not Sram.

Word, yo. I live in the SF Bay Area and $300k is NOT A RICH MAN’S SALARY.

None of those are from new brands, though.

If Scaringe took a 10% cut off of last year’s salary, Rivian would save enough to pay each laid-off worker $50,000.  That’s pretty fucked up.

Ooh - where?

1. The Corvette, Grand National, and Mustang all had good motors.

It looks like a magically tacky teenager ejaculated ‘style’ all over it.

All sound ideas, but... why not both? 

Good points. As with almost everything that we try to generalize about, success will vary with each use case’s specifics.

Solar panels make about 200 watts per square meter per hour. With 8 square meters of panel on a transit bus’ roof, you’re looking at 1.6Kw per hour.

LOL, yes - managing being rear-ended while at a dead stop is so easy.

I want to know if anyone - ANYONE - who isn’t an utterly despicable piece of shit will buy one or if Range Rover is maintaining ties with their traditional market.

I was on my KZ1000 in the exit of a roadside gas station, waiting for a break in traffic so I could pull back onto the highway, when I got rear-ended by some inattentive knucklehead. If he’d been going just a little bit faster I’d have been punted right into 60 mph cross-traffic instead of just punted halfway across…

Depends on the facts and the state.

I defended a similar case. No charges filed, no loss of employment, and the civil action settled within my client’s policy limits. Then again, my client wasn’t lying through her teeth.
