These were made by a group of guys from the Grand Rapids area including Matt Johnston who went on to start his own production company- Specialty Field Productions which worked on projects like Easier Said than Done and the Gymkhana series. The wagon owner is Luke Wilcox, Michigan’s 2017-18 teacher of the year. 

Back when times were simpler

Dipshit needs to just learn how to call corporate. There is a website and everything.

NAFTA was replaced by USMCA, which I referenced in the third paragraph.

These are the kind of stops cops should be making and charging people for, not “5 over in a 55.” I also think that any money collected for traffic stops should go into traffic safety programs, not law enforcement budgets. Make people pay for their own driver’s (re)education.

This is the picture the real estate agents doesn’t want you to see

Pretty much every EV has a option to limit charging now...

Most, if not all, have recommendations from the manufacturer in the manual, as well as reminders within the charging software re: how to maintain battery health. As you’ve suggested, it’s usually as simple as setting max charge to 80% and not dropping below 20%. People like to make things seem difficult.

No offense, but what are you doing on Jalopnik then?

I’ve never owned or driven an EV, but is there not a “maximize battery health” option or whatever, or a battery indicator that says 0 and 100 when in reality the battery only charges from 20-80?

Ford = CP.

Anytime I see a decent deal....which is like never....it’s always in the fucking rust belt.

It’s also their outdated stagnated style, and their egotistical chad of a ceo.

And also, there’s a shit ton of used Teslas at this point and they’re dirt cheap. I was just looking at Model Xs and there’s a lot of decent long-range examples with lower miles for well under $40k. 

Nailed it.

Can we implement a new rule on Jalopnik that whenever you write about a car that isn’t going to be available in the US, you state that upfront? I was already pulling out my checkbook by the time I got to the bottom and you crushed my little heart.

Less.

The white really highlights what a pedestrian design this is. Not ugly, just dull. I don’t need a look-at-me car, but I’m thinking the typical Ferrari buyer does. ND.

To make this thread interesting, should have put “not a Tesla” in the question line.

“Our simulations showed the full 1/4 mi race would be close but with the same net result, so no need to risk it.”
