Also ongoing costs to keep it integrated with their system updates, which could vary a good deal from company to company, especially when BMW uses the wireless version.

So what? It’s a comment section in an article about Apple. He brought up a question, and then editorialized a bit. It’s no different than what goes on here all the time and you getting tied up about it is way dumber than him bringing it up. 

The former can be plugged into an external charger, the latter doesn’t have that option.

It’s literally an article about Apple’s car OS, and his comment was about a possible reason for the subject of the article.

I’m sure.

This is so sad. 

No plug, oddly. 

The Volt and i3 with range extender are series hybrids. They have the benefits of external plugs though. 

Are you talking about the Volt? 

“the gas generator providing electricity as often as it does now as a sort of long-range extender”

“The evolution of the model by changes in production would mean that should Morris (if still around) would have to pay Hindustan if they restarted the Oxford.”

It’s ok to not like the choices people make. 

That never came close to happening. 

“The reason, of course, is because of the popularity of SUVs and crossovers.”

Almost like it was planned that way. It’s always interesting when a foolish risk becomes conventional wisdom. 

“In my direct experience, the highway quality in the US is (believe it) in general better than the Autobahn,”

Cool, now show me the Jimny they made or sold in the US. Kind of relevant.
