Too bad. I’ve got to say, though, why would anyone outside of the US want to buy a Harley? Here, I get it, ‘Murica and all, but objectively Harleys are not competitive with, well, anything else being made. Not in terms of price, performance, fit and finish (how do they make a transmission that bad exactly.), nothing.…

I have a Surron in addition to a Ktm 300, KLX 140, and Africa Twin. It’s nice. Not great, not a dirt bike replacement, but fun. Suspension and handling is nothing like a dirt bike, it’s about the same size as a KLX140 physically but only about 100lb. The suspension doesn’t really absorb things you ride over like a…

And? So this specific problem is with the EV component. You know what else charges the 12v from a high voltage EV pack? Every Toyota hybrid. This is written as if it’s just EVs that have teething problems. That’s not an accurate statement. 

You could have just written “New cars sometimes have problems.” Nothing you wrote is inherent to EVs. Things break, recalls happen, Ford and VW aren’t strangers to thing like that with any of their vehicles.

That shifter is great. I drove a friend’s and while it looks weird, it’s right there next to the wheel and has a great feel. After that drive I decided that the shifter is the best part of the car.

Whoa. I’ve never said this about a recent Camaro before, but that looks great.

You add a whole bunch of needless complexity, weight and drag by putting it in between the motor and the wheels instead of the single speed setup that all production EVe have. Aka, make the car worse and more expensive. You won’t see it in a production car because it makes no sense with an electric  motor.

Like you said, “nobody cares”.

Pretty much nailed all the stereotypes, fellow high speed aluminum tubing operator.

Can confirm. Probably 70% of them fit that profile.

Mercedes, how did he hurt you to warrant such treatment?

I’ve said it many times. FSD and the Robotaxi future Musk has promised is complete fantasy when the entire thing breaks when the person getting out of the car doesn’t close the door.  

Today I learned that the Legend name is still being used. In Japan. Fuck your alphanumerics in the USA, Acura.

Jesus. What the fuck?

I’ve watched it a couple of times. Know what would have been safer? Just continuing to drive straight and not going into the shoulder. I’m actually very pro-Tesla. I think they make a great product, albeit poorly. AP is also a nice product that is not used the way it should.

Sweet. I bought a 2106 2 weeks ago. This could add a lot of excitement to the ownership experience.

I picked up one of the generic ones from eBay ($150 or so) a few years ago I while working on an extremely rusty BMW I bought for $500 here in NH had a couple bolts I broke or couldn’t budge.

That’s not what happens. There is still the Magnussen Moss Warranty Act. They can void the warranty on the 12V battery that was killed, maybe other electronic components, but it has to be proven to be related to that inverter use. A suspension component not working isn’t related.

Fair point. Plugging in as you get out of the car is far too much responsibility.

You’re an adult, this should not happen. When it gets to 1/4 put gas in the damn thing. Also, this wouldn’t have happened with an EV, every time you leave the house it has a full charge.
