It’s too bad more OEMs don’t offer standard mobility options. In Japan, you can get the Honda N-Box kei van straight from a normal dealer.

Since VPG went out of business, I’d look very hard into servicing an MV-1 before seriously shopping for one. They’re also pretty rare, but I have seen a few in my area.

Sure, but gas stations are plentiful, EV chargers are not.

You were expecting it to look like a Miata? It’s a Hummer. Of course it’s going to be enormous and bloated. 

Duck Dodgers in the 24-1/2 century truly was an icon. 

Remember when Nissan was cool?

At the risk of sounded like a mindless Tesla drone drooling on Elon’s feet, isn’t that pretty harsh? It’s not like a HUD is standard fare on Tesla’s competitors either, though it is typically an optional extra.

Well, I did say “kids who want their parents to buy them a car” for a reason.

I like the Subaru one. I’ve found myself in that exact situation before with a kid screaming bloody murder, and looking back for a second could cause an accident. In that case, our Leaf auto-braked for the car that turned out in front of us.

Rimac is well-proven for their electrical tech via licensing. Their cars are more of a showcase of the tech they license out to others, rather than their core product.

As mentioned, Tesla isn’t exactly affordable, given that their currently the world’s most valuable automaker according to the stock market. I don’t get…

Best vehicle for a drive-in: Honda Ridgeline with the bed speaker system.

The Mini Countryman PHEV follows this template, adds AWD, and has been in the US for years. What’s so special about a Golf? 

I daily a Miata, and the top is down pretty much from March-October. The points about hats are spot on, but the noise really isn’t that big of a problem even on long drives. Miatas aren’t much fun at 70mph on the freeway even with a hardtop (not much torque and they’re geared way too low for high speed cruising), but 5…

Interesting it specifically excludes powered parachutes, as threading the needle under bridges seems like a pretty common powered parachute stunt, at least from the YouTube videos I’ve seen. 

I actually sold my Outback to get the Jeep. It’s a weekend toy, not my daily. 

A few things:

I will. Gladly. The worst offroad stuff my Jeep sees is some mild OHV forest trails in the mountains, and even that’s worse that 90% of the terrain most Wranglers see.

The German language to me is a perfect example of German pragmatism:

Yeah, I tried a classic stand-up from the early ‘90s and it was really hard to actually stand up and control. I can’t imagine one with probably more than double the horsepower would be like. 

Well duh. Staying away and letting the pros do their jobs would be the natural desire here, but that’s clearly not the case. My question to the original poster was more “Given that Americans are idiots, but aren’t technically breaking the law, what can SpaceX do to enforce their secure area that the Coast Guard can’t”?
