How much zone control do you have with AC for the middle/back seats? From what I’ve seen so far, the SUV is divided into Left and Right, regardless of where you sit. That sorta sucks for areas without a big glass roof.

This could be partially countered by offering streamlined orders and prioritizing build of higher-profit trim levels. “I can get you the platinum model in 2 weeks but the XLT is probably 6 weeks out”.

I agree. But manage that well, Ford! I stopped at a Tesla... store?.. once and the sole customer service rep had zero interest in talking to me. There were probably 70 cars in the lot, and none available for me to sit in and feel the seats and check visibility. The employee was condescending and entirely unhelpful. My

I like my Bolt a lot also, but I will say that at 6' 4" the seats are horrendous. They taper in at a spot where a long drive will leave me very sore around the shoulder blades.

Other than that, I really like it.  My first EV was a BMW i3 and that car had the worst infotainment system of any of my vehicles over the last

It really isn’t.  States are responsible for putting down insurrections.  They have state militias for this (and other) purpose.  DC is a bit of an oddball but they are supposed to call on MD and VA.

Hey, this might’ve been an off-handed comment, but it got a bit of a rise out of me because this is emphatically _not_ what the military is for. Engaging protestors with the military came close enough to a reality in 2020 and I would hate to see the idea of this being desired or even allowed go any farther than it

This could be an American “Clarkson Farm”.  Please make a series about the Ferry Boys.  

Unmentioned is that the codes can be user-dependent so it moves seats, etc.  

I also don’t want to rely on a spotty app and an internet connection. 

Regarding that foam floor...

Did you replace suspension at all?  Mine has 125k; really rough on the bumps but I can’t remember now what it’s supposed to feel like, so I don’t know if it’s worth swapping out the struts

It’s more of a feeling of comfort when operating well within the bounds of the vehicle. No one wants to tow 10k lbs on a vehicle rated to tow 10k lbs. You want it to feel like it’s not there; focus on driving well instead of wondering if you can stop at the light at the bottom of this next hill.

On the East Coast, I don’t see many new ones not being used commercially in some way. In the Midwest, I see a lot of them doing double-duty for small business owners. Lots of trucks with plow hook-ups and a salt box in the church parking lot on Sunday, for example. When I was last in TX, I saw more than a few (and sat

I have one.  I don’t need the range extender from late March till late November.  Then it gets cold and my range drops in half, and it’s really handy to be able to go to that random off-site meeting in January knowing that I can make it home thanks to that range extender.  

I need someone with some insight to lay out the likely scenarios for the jeep subscription plan “Jeep Wave” touched on in the slide deck from this AM. What I want (and likely won’t be able to get) is to somehow have my subscription to Jeep mean I leave mine at the local dealer, fly into Salt Lake, pick up a wrangler

How do these local government ordinances not violate some more basic law to protect individual freedom?

Reminded me of the Celica ad campaign from the mid-90's.

Exhaust noise.

There were a few guys in the Mk4 VW scene back in the day that could reset odo’s on clusters because there was such a huge used market for the various higher end clusters available. I don’t know if I believe there is any market for used Ferrari clusters. At all.

That Yield sign should not be there. If someone in the traffic lanes wants into that lane, the people already in it have right-of-way. There is nobody to yield to in this case.
