Its a preemptive move by MB, for when the car inevitably runs out of charge, one of the passengers can go for help on the scooter!

I would love a modern El Camino.

So the batteries don’t get charged by the gas engine, or regen under braking on Plug-in hybrids? Or just some models? I’ll have to research that.

I wonder if plug-in hybrid EVs are stepping stone to full electric, or an end itself. I have a hard time thinking a full EV will offer what I need. Plug-in hybrid however, seems to check most of the boxes. If they can reduce emissions by half (normal commuting on electric only) and no limits to travel distance with…

“Ignoring the fact that a lot of workers get paid shit, people also need to stop living beyond their means while they’re making shit...”

Or showing a $3 B loss could be a way to say that EV production will need massive government subsidies to hit 100% in 10 years. Keep those rebates comin’.

This is insanity on both sides.

That motor must burn a lot of it too.

It looks good on paper (pixels), but in reality, its not at all compelling.

I thought white was their preferred corporate color.

Ya, pretty much a poser truck. Street tires with a lift kit and bed too short to carry a short surfboard.

Whats the tow rating on the GT?

I’ll wait for actual road tests on northern frost heaved and potholed roads. Lets see if the trim and body rattles apart in my world.

Measure twice, cut once.

Half of the country can’t be wrong.

I expect these would have to come from an emerging market, like India.

If only there were some new vehicle choices like this in America. For anyone that lives in areas with actual forests, small light, affordable offroad trucks are the way to go.

Yes, for the big 3, you’re correct. But by effectively blocking imports of small trucks by over taxing them, there is little incentive for the Big 3 to make small trucks anymore. If consumers had affordable smaller trucks to choose from, they would sell. Maybe not in the millions like the full sizer’s, but Ford…

I’m pretty sure the author(s) of that study have never actually driven a car on American city streets.
