Am I the exception? The HSA I contribute to through my employer-provided (well, they provide about 80% of it) healthcare never goes away, and I didn’t realize that some of them are reset annually.

1908 Baker Electric: 2 reverse speeds, 5 forward speeds, 24V, tiller steering, and about 25 mph of fun!

That’s the charge port location for the T8 Plug in Hybrid version, so it’s got an EV plug in the front left fender and the normal gas cap location in the back right.

Feat. the racecar I built in college... to be fair the rules said it must be “labeled high voltage or something similar”...

Newer Fords have a bit stored in several modules in the vehicle that will roll over each time the cluster indicated miles go to zero. Starts at zero, flips to 1 at first million miles, 2 at second etc. Depending on how old the vehicle is, it could almost certainly be verified by a tech at a dealership. I’m not sure…

They already are in most places...

Volt? There were no 16 Bolts...

My 06 Legacy GT has a trip timer above the radio that counts up in minutes from when you start the vehicle. (Ignition, not necessarily engine start.) If you put the key in and skip Acc and Run and go straight to the Start position to start the vehicle, the trip timer just stays at “—” the entire time. Any pause at…

Waze integration is coming “soon” via their announcement nearly a year ago.... but hopefully it will happen eventually.

Pro tip: you don’t need the upgraded USB port for Android Auto, only Carplay. So once you get the Sync 3 software upgrade (there are plenty of versions floating around on the internet depending on your vehicle), no need to pay for the hardware if you only want to do AA. Carplay has extra hardware requirements that was…

Baked into the evil genius silliness in this comment section is this idea I had never considered... once you’re on Mars and want to set up a set of buildings having the technical know how to tunnel would be awfully beneficial when there’s no (human survivable) atmosphere...

“The EVs are equipped with a dual CHAdeMo port to handle a Level-3 DC Fast Charger”

I can see future headlines with this... “FUEL ECONOMY TARGET FOR 2025 REDUCED TO 34.5 MPG” while all that’s happening is switching the target from the internal adjusted target to the Monroney label number...

If they are, they haven’t bothered to list it anywhere... so my bet is going to be no:

Bolt base MSRP is $37.5k (ok, $37,495), Tesla has said TM3 will start at $35k.

Honest to god answer, it’s expensive. Incorporating heat pump controls and tech into cars that for the most part are already more expensive than their ICE brethren isn’t something most are interested in.

This is eerily similar to a bus crash that occurred when I was working at this bus company. Elderly gentleman (86 if I remember correctly?) fell unconscious while driving said Ranger, ran a red light, and slammed into the front of this bus (stopped at the same red light going the opposite direction, waiting to turn…

How do you propose reducing the emissions of a vehicle without improving its fuel economy? Reducing the amount of fuel burned is one of the easiest ways to improve emissions! If they dropped the “mpg” requirement and kept the emissions requirements the same, the resulting cars would be nearly identical to what we’re…

Check out the Hyundai Ioniq. Looks better, better interior, and will likely be a grand or two cheaper than the Prius Prime, and should drive better too! Comes in both a PHEV and standard hybrid versions. I checked out both at NAIAS and there’s no comparison in my mind. It also isn’t out in the US yet, but they keep…

I have a shred of hope that just because this guy doesn’t understand the implications of gutting the EPA, there are plenty of others out there that do, and Teslas will keep selling. Heck, they’re way over-performing to the current standards anyway...
