So what you’re suggesting is that a cop or a friend of a cop obtained a G6 for just $650.  

Like any of the people who were caught like this guy

The route also takes a loop around the Sphere, so the organizers are likely hoping some cool effects on that might draw in some viewers.

Yeah, making assumptions on how warm (or not) a place is just because it’s closer to the equator than your current location can be a big mistake. I visited the San Diego area in April once and was surprised how cool it was even in the day time. I should have just stayed home.

Disney will make tasty chamorros.

I hope you don’t find any hidden presents that Mr Gold Chain forgot to take with him when he vacated the property.

Jealous of Tesla owners in North America or Tesla owners in general?  From what I’ve read, the EU has mandated the type 2 plug for several years now.

That would certainly encourage anti-trust lawsuits. At some point, I’d hope that there would be competing networks using the same charging standard.

The rational way to deal with losing a vehicle to civil asset forfeiture is to ask one of your billionaire nazi-memorabilia-collecting-but-totally-not-racist friends (everyone’s got a least one, right?) to lend you a money to get a vehicle.

The following posts on the MacRumors thread explain the reason for the memory bandwidth difference.

It’s also amazing how people in many of these areas have been able to use block heaters for decades with such primitive infrastructure too.

Most of the EVs on the market are very expensive and/or fugly, so it’s not that big of a surprise why they’re not selling like hotcakes. Apartment dwellers whether they are single moms or not are a minority of households in the US, so there are plenty of others that could be in the market for EVs IF they were…

Mom and dad won’t let you run an extension cord to run a level 1 charger while you’re doing other stuff for them?

Those people aren’t buying -new- ICE vehicles either

you can drive a gas-powered car on a road trip without any planning

It’s not just the sprawl, it’s the fact that many neighborhoods are designed to be a pain in the ass to travel through in anything other than a car.

Petroleum will still need to be extracted for uses other than producing fuel, so they’ll be able to profit from it for a while and can divert some of that revenue into shoring up their public transit systems.  Essentially make their foreign customers pay for that stuff instead of their citizens.

It makes you wonder what would have happened if they tried a VW only union and not UAW.

The people staring at you would have been just the crew.  I’m guessing it’s against company policy from helping carry passengers out in non-emergency situations (even though that would likely be faster than this case).

The ride is apparently worse in the cabover versions as well leading to more driver fatigue and/or health issues.
