Well, I live in the middle of rural nowhere so size isn’t really an issue.  And it drives way smaller with the 4 wheel steering.  I wanted an EV, a Taycan is a waste when I have a current E63 that’s paid for.  I could use a truck.  I wanted a convertible.  I like the tech, Supercruise, etc.  It’s basically everything…

I’d argue that the ones up and down I-95 where you’re in an unlit section of the Walmart parking lot between 18wheelers getting mobile serviced and a row of dumpsters to be worse.

I mean, there’s also the novelty of road tripping an EV right now (working under the assumption that the limited chargers you’ll come across work as advertised). I did it with my month old Hummer EV back in Sept. A 720mi trip to Orlando. Spent about 2 hours 15 minutes total charging. Two of the stops I just picked up…

Did they remove all the prices? They seemed like placeholders/mistakes with things like the windshield only being $1800, half the price of something like a Defender.

...the abysmal charging speeds of the Bolt and Leaf are almost certainly responsible for this statistic by themselves. If you’re road tripping a Bolt it can take 90 minutes to get from 20-80%...and 2 hours if you try to get into the 90s.  Compared to the fastest charging EVs like the EV6, Hummer Ev, Lucid, etc. which…

Also, the cooling loop doesn’t include the adapter.

It’s a shame that a Bolt and Hummer EV can both pull into a 350kW DC charging station at 20% and despite having a battery 3x the size of the Bolt’s, the Hummer will reach 80% in half the time.

Well that too. I’ve never owned a truck before but I need one a couple times a year where I borrow from family. I wanted a convertible but that’s a waste from a utility standpoint. I wanted an EV but I own my ‘18 E63 Wagon so why would I replace it with something like a Taycan Turbo S, which is the nearest in…

Jesus. At least the only problem with my Hummer EV is Electrify Amercia stations tripping software safeties (which they do with Lyriqs and Blazers too). The Lyriq and Blazer appear to be running on Lucas electronics for their infotainment and other 12v electronics.

Same thing happened to me in a Hummer at the same station. Required the dealer to clear a “corrupted charge session” code. Also happened a month earlier at an EA station in Columbia, SC. The only two issues I’ve had in 3 months and 5500 miles have been the direct result of inconsistent power delivery (surging up and…

Even worse.  Attempting a j-turn in an SUV with 5 people hanging out of it.

Saw the video on Reddit. It was an attempted j-turn with someone sitting in every window sill and out of the sunroof, but the person driving probably didn’t even know that’s what they were doing.

Must have been an underinflated tire.

The bar keeps moving because these would have been 4-5 star results in the 80s and 90s.  I mean, you don’t even have passengers being partially/temporarily ejected from the vehicle.

Christ. Not him again. Ride the rocket that made you famous all the way into the ground I guess.

I’m guessing between the $140k of the P550e PHEV and the $170k of the P530 V8

The last thing I’d probably do is buy a first-gen JLR EV product...and I LOVE JLR.  Over a decade of driving them up to a current Defender 130.

I tell people snow tires are called snow tires for a reason. And mud tires are called mud tires. People think one tread will magically work everywhere. All I know is that almost every CT I’ve seen on the road is rolling on all-seasons with the “concept” cut on the sides for their rim covers.

I grind my teeth every time Tesla or someone they’ve told it to (Cammisa) tries to pass those tires off as “Mud/All-Terrain”. It’s an all-season tread with decorative mud tire cuts on the sides. It’s also why I roll my eyes when they do “apples to apples” acceleration tests against a Hummer EV on ACTUAL mud tires, a…
