“It’s difficult to guess what kind of capacity the battery pack would need to be even if you work backwards from the claimed range, considering you’d have to factor in the weight of the truck and whatever it’s hauling.”
*Steps on soapbox*
Either your timing is impeccable...or you got a tip from a very special someone this morning about this. No hat tip? Take me out of the gray and call it even?
Generally doesn’t matter, but I did have a Bosch filter with a check valve fail on my RSX back in college. Pulled a vacuum on the filter and bound the threads. After the ‘ol “stick a screw driver through the end” to break it lose resulted in cutting the end of the filter off, I had it towed to the dealer. Took them an…

This post confuses me. From BMW USA’s website:
This is why I have no friends. I have owned most of the hated stereotype vehicles:
Shelby AC Cobra Mk III 427: 425 hp in 2,355 lbs. No traction control + live axle rear + 1960's tire tech + short wheelbase = car that wanted to kill you if you even thought about pushing the go pedal too far.

Honestly, it's beautiful but you probably don't want it on a road going car. Based on the quote "it's actually multiple layers of paint on the display cars" It is probably a three-stage pearl paint with additional white primer. Each stage usually requires multiple coats. This would be near impossible on production…
You know everyone is thinking it.
Rearden and Taggart would've had this built 10 years ago and under budget. They just wouldn't have allowed 90% of Californians ride it. It also would've detoured through the mountains of Colorado.
You'll be happy to know it gets put through its paces more than most. The road in front of his house looks like a burnout box at a dragstrip.
My dad is 64, drives a 2014 Corvette. My mother drives a Buick Enclave. Nailed it.
Assuming ~4g per car and PPE Resin of ~$3/kg, for 1 million cars cost is ~$12,000. The fact that it warranted an article offsets this in marketing value.
In 2012, I bought Lotus Elise in New Hampshire. Flew up there (in Decemeber), raced a snow storm south and drove 1700+ miles straight through to Atlanta. My kidneys and spine will never be the same.
iPhone was announce 6 months before it was available. iPad was announced two months before it was available. Seems pretty normal for Apple to announce a product in a new category months before it's available.
I feel like most commenters are kinda missing the point on this one. I, for one, am really excited about this. It isn't a hardcore full-frame offroader, but it's more importantly also not a inflated, family sedan based crossover and has decent off-pavement stats. As someone who lives in the city and has hobbies…
