If they're extrapolation is accurate, that 90 day cost times X dollars is future cost, then it helps gauge for the long term owners what cost out of warranty could end up like. It's a very poorly worded explanation by the author of the survey. 

Very green EV indeed... I guess still better than having people buying this over a gas version, as a consolation price. My only problem is part of reducing our impact on the environment is to drive something smaller but I am afraid EV will not help in this matter as buyers will feel they are doing their part because…

I think as far as licenses, most of the restrictions have to do with the number of axles the vehicle has. I mean, you can go rent a 26' U-Haul, which presumably weighs a bit more than this Hummer EV, with nothing more than your standard driver’s license (source: rented 26' U-Haul with nothing more than my standard…

Taking a shot in the dark here: Is it an F-150 with a weird grille?

Boring. I wanna see the Maverick.

I know what an F-150 looks like, and I can imagine the lightbar they added that probably won’t make it to production to signify it’s electric drivetrain.

I want to see the Maverick; a truck I’d actually consider buying.

Just remember, Glassdoor has working for Amazon at 3.9 stars, and working for GMO at 2.9.

Flying cars are just five years out. Mark my words.

For those of you who wanted to know what it might feel like to drive a suppository, I present the Canoo EV Minibus.

Already got my Minibus

9 times out of 10 it will be after the light comes on. Every once in a while though {leans forward and whispers} its when the remaining mileage estimator drops to zero.

I drive until the car runs out. Then I pop the trunk, grab a plastic bag of gas, pour it into the tank/on my fender/on the ground, then drive to the nearest gas station. Easy.

I fuel up when the warning light comes on because I savor the weight reduction of driving without a full tank. 6.3 lbs of delicious weight savings per gallon y’all!

Ah yes, the generic $200 miracle fuel efficiency device that so far has managed to elude the vast R&D departments of every major automaker...but dozens of generic sellers on Amazon have figured it out!

Yep, and the fourth of those three key arguments is that mail delivery vehicles do almost entirely stop-and-go driving. That’s a Home Run Derby pitch for a vehicle that recovers energy through regenerative braking.

If the issue is the name, Oshkosh ‘Defense’, or how the company makes most of their money... Oshkosh is leveraging their vehicle durability know-how (wow, I’m going to hear a lot of stories about how so and so vehicle died in Afghanistan on troops), their engineering expertise, and production capacity. Their weak area…

Why would they do that? Oshkosh already has the know-how and personnel and previously has dealt with the gov on tons of contracts. I’d rather see it go here vs some hoity toity electric start up that would probably F something up. At this point even modern ICEs would at least blow the Iron Dukes 3mpg out of the water. 

Mail delivery (and in town delivery) trucks in general are probably the best use case for electric fleets right now. The same goes for sanitation trucks, street sweepers, etc. Even local service vehicles like the van the local plumber uses can (and should) be electrified as soon as possible.

This was my question. I like the Model 3 (I’ve said already on this site that I was very close to getting one last December), but it’s kinda a luxury car in price alone. Same for the S. If we’re going by interior standards, my A4 blows every Tesla I’ve ever been in out of the water.
