Toyota bet heavy on hybrids and hydrogen, while avoiding any serious moves into EVs. They’ve spent the last decade actively lobbying against EV adoption instead of investing in the space.

Coming to a bankruptcy auction soon!

This has nothing to do with EVs and everything to do with the fact that it’s 2022. The internet has been a thing for 3 decades and people are beyond ready to buy their cars online. The fact that this is still news shows you how far behind the times the current sales model stands.

I hope this passes. The ensuing shitstorm will serve as good warning to other states considering similarly poor legislation.

West Coast has lots of mountain roads that require 4wd + snow tires OR chains.

The Jalop staff needs to go sit through an econ 101 class. This whole supply/demand thing keeps confusing them.

EV fires are tough to put out, but burn slowly. Gasoline fires are easier to put out, but combust much quicker.

This IS the quintessential enthusiasts vehicle. Cartoonish proportions, way too much power, and outlandish styling. Ford is knocking it out of the park and we should all be rejoicing!

All the haters should just hand in their automotive enthusiast card and go buy a Honda CRV already.

I’m here for this series! I’m both amazed and angered at the same time. 

What if the car parked in your garage can absorb the spikes of energy production that happen from wind & solar via smart charging based on price. These are actually complementary changes. 

No mention of Tesla Sentry mode? Something that’s been out and released for years at this point. 

600k+ miles on a single battery. That is insanely impressive. 

This article is laughably light on details. What kind of cars are they using? What was the impetus of this program? Were they running busses or some other shuttles before this?

The Maverick Hybrid gets you awful close to what you're asking. 

This is a pretty big miss IMO. Heated seats are really nice to have and are more or less standard on most vehicles nowadays. Also, HVAC is much more energy intensive compared to a butt warmer, which is why most base trim EVs have them as standard - it’s good for efficiency.

The Mercedes seat massaging and posture adjustment feature is very underwhelming. Excited to try these out!

Better, considering the Stelvio will spend most of it’s time at the shop.

This right here.

Try a similar trip in a Tesla? It would make for an interesting comparison. 

I’m not sure how this is relevant to my statement. People in unions *might* have higher wages. However, as we saw in the past few elections, their love of unions doesn’t make it to the voting booth.
