The Bolt seems to be a great car if you live in or near a city and want a compact hatchback that is easy to park and fun to drive. The 50 kW DC Fast Charging and relatively fast charge tapering makes it less great for road tips, but it is still quite doable if you don’t mind waiting a bit longer to top up. I took a…

It was a nice no-nonsense design. I feel like the Cavaliers just got uglier as time went on and they got less boxy.

Also, with a backseat that small, your teenager is just not going to be able to have any proper fun with the bench seat. That may be a good thing for some parents, but it will suck for the kid.

It could also be that early adopters have personalities that are less conservative, so they tend to be drawn more to bolder colors instead of the various shades of white, gray, and black that the staider car buyers who wait a bit tend to gravitate to.

I checked my local dealer inventory in Kirkland, and my issue is that all they have is white and black, with the only blue one in inventory already sold. Looking at the Ford dealer, they don’t have any fun colors in the Mach-E, either. That could be a bit of a problem as well.

I’m looking the ID.4 closely as my first EV, and wonder if it a combination of factors holding it back:

So basically it’s a prequel to Pixar’s “Cars” series?

Law enforcement continues to shit their pants any time someone does something even vaguely threatening.

Eh, it’ll probably just be like the Chevy Bolt where someone less well-off will be able to buy a used one off lease for $25k or less circa 2024.

In college I had a 1989 Civic that was a salvage title and when it was repaired the EX model wound up with a trunk with a DX emblem, so things can really get funky if a car gets repaired with junkyard parts.

Not to mention that if you fall asleep while leaning out into the aisle, the flight attendants will flat-out ram you with a drink cart when they come down the aisle. That’s especially fun during a red-eye.

Tesla kind of already does that by building the full self driving hardware into every vehicle and then charging you for the software unlock as an upgrade. And GM kind of does this as well by making SuperCruise an optional extra on the vehicle and then still charging you for the service.

I’m a little torn on the pay-per-use thing.

So since this is fake, does this mean that the picture is the real Amy Schumer?

So what’s the highway mileage with a Carolina Squat?

The beauty of the Corolla in general is that it is a car that is boring, but in a good way. It is sensibly priced and it doesn’t give you drama. It’s for people who want to reliably get from point A to point B without a $400 72 month loan, and I can’t really fault someone for wanting that.

It’s the symbol of the Yellow Lanterns.

It’s a $100k vehicle, so I don’t think enough people will be buying them for it to really make an enormous difference in the big picture.

That may only speak to the quality control of Brand A. Brand B may have engineered their cars better so that they require less costly service over the long run.

I’ve worked at a Target part time over the holidays, and the cashiers are a tiny portion of the store staff. A LOT more of the store staff is involved in keeping the shelves stocked, and automation is unlikely to make a dent in that staffing anytime soon because the stockroom of your typical Target is not a place…
