Ironically, if the Caliber was produced today, with at least a little more quality poured into the interior, it would likely be selling like hotcakes.

The Rivian has about the same footprint as a Tacoma, but in real life it looks bigger.

Probably the same way Ford build the Lightening on the same platform as the gas F-150: stuff the batteries between the frame rails and give it an independent rear suspension so more batteries can fit. If we’re being honest here, body-on-frame vehicles are probably well-suited for ICE and BEV versions since there’s…

The Leaf will probably qualify until the IRS finally releases their battery guidance. I’m not sure if Nissan is still building the battery in the US or not.

So many Bolt critics say it can’t be used as a long distance car. I say...you just have to have more patience. Yes, it will take longer to charge, but that doesn’t make it NOT capable of traveling long distances.

EV Critics: GIVE US A CHEAP, LONG-RANGE EV!

He’s gotta convince at least one anonymous Internet person to not buy a Lightening!

Landscapers might actually be a prime target market. They don’t typically drive very far in a day, but they tow a mid-range trailer and usually need the five seats. A base Lightening is $60k now, I think. Compared to a base crew cab F-150, which is probably around $40k, it might be a steal, especially when considering…

Maybe you can roll electrons. Get one of those tesla coils mounted on the hitch and when you press a button in the cab...ZAP!

Elon Musk would like a word.

Their horse train never stops. Never.

While y’all are crapping on EV truck range and EVs in general, Ford just released a study that showed Lightening owners are using their truck to do truck things at a higher rate than other F-150 owners. Weird.

Remember when GM put a straight-six into the Trailblazer and it’s approximately 15 billion variants? Good times, good times.

Obtaining right-of-way out in the high desert shouldn’t really be a big hurdle, and the land is mostly bare, so track can go down fairly quickly. Also, they construction companies can use multiple teams building different segments simultaneously. They built a freeway like that out where I live and it only took two…

I wonder if their strategy was “If we buy ALL the used cars, buyers will have no choice but to come to us!”

I mean, it’s a Charger. Kind of appeals to the target audience :)

I’d like to see her debate vaccinations with Natalie Portman. Should be a good watch. PPV.

Bezos is going to spend a week on this one time and sell it five years later. I guarantee it.

As much as I’d love to see the USS Gerald R. Ford on open water with full masts, they’re nuclear powered, not sailing vessels.

You just know that if it had been the other way around, and the Mercedes driver had caused a crash which resulted in the officer’s death, there’s a good chance the Mercedes driver and its occupants would have been summarily executed by responding officers.
