Defender 130, aka the “Extendefender”

I have a few slip through my fingers but the one I regret most was a Lotus Elite.

If you are referring to Ford’s onboard generator option, that will only put out 2.4 kw. That puts you at level 1 charging which adds well under 10 miles of range per hour. Level 2 charging is about 7.2kw, which you can spec from Ford but only on their hybrid powertrain, which costs a few grand over the ecoboost by…

Hmm, valid point. I never considered it from that perspective. I just saw it from the idea that streaming is a vast improvement over paying many times more for hundreds of terrible channels of mostly ads on cable or satellite to be played through a set top box that I have to rent with an shitty GUI and a cumbersome…

There are lots of reasons to hate Amazon, but why are against streaming in general?

If they are so worried about the transition from asphalt to dir on pit exit, why don’t they put dirt on the end of pit lane so the transition happens while cars are going straight and under a speed limit?

I’m guessing that costs a bit more than the OP’s suggested $500.

It would cost a hell of a lot more than $500 bucks to modify a tow truck to charge an EV. No alternator is beefy enough to generate the kind of current needed for that job, and any generator that could do the job is large enough to be on its own trailer.

F1 seriously needs to join the 21st century and start using lower profile wheel/tire setups like the rest of the racing world.

This price is in line with other examples I am seeing, but those other examples were at least cleaned first.

I think he was being sarcastic.

Unless there is air suspension I am sure you can just order factory springs out of Europe. You can do that with the Audi A4 Allroad. All the other suspension components are the same as the standard Avant.

NO!! The Volvo V60 Recharge is on my short list of replacement vehicles but I’m not due to buy a new car for another year or so.

I don’t doubt it. That freeze really screwed you guys over and it sounds like there is a lot more to do in protecting the grid where you are, but he OP was complaining about CA.

I suspect they hit an engineering dead end with the EV XJ, or some incompatible improvement in EV tech came along that would have made the XJ obsolete upon its release. So instead of wasting more money trying to make it work, they are starting over with a new platform.

Rolling blackouts happening for the 1st time in 20 years is not that big a deal. It was a historic heat wave and the grid is getting bigger by the day.

“why get a $60k Polestar 2 when you can get a $38k Model 3 with the same specs.”

If you are going to do a currency conversion in an article, please remember to take VAT out. Every other comment on here is going to be about how $57,500 is ridiculous, when the real price as quoted in the US would be closer $46,575.

Due to the related intended uses, I am reminded of the the other largest plane in the world: the Stratolaunch. I really hope this thing fly again and lives to its potential.
