Having actually driven an ID4, it’s really not that big of a deal. They aren’t even the first ones to have a drive selector like this. The BMW i3 had the same kind of design.

That seat pulled out to become a bench, but the passenger side could be pushed into the driver’s side to have just a single seat with extra cargo room. Just like how these day beds can pull out to a full bed:

The other con of the aisle is that anyone passing by has a 50% chance of rubbing their genitals in your face, and there’s a 100% chance a flight attendant will bash their drink cart into you.

That said, I ALWAYS take the aisle seat as asking your row mates to get up so you can get out and go pee is the adult…

And I’m saying that the US government has historically taken upwards of 30 years to formally step in. Who knows what the landscape of vehicles will look like 30 years from now?

If it was that easy, why don’t we have a universal charging standard in the US?

This is all interesting to see from an American perspective, especially one based out of New York City. Around the turn of the century, NYC was home to the largest electric car company in the world, the Electric Vehicle Company, and it operated using battery-swapping stations right in the middle of Manhattan.

Nice to see Aubrey Plaza making her directorial debut! 

I recommend following SuperfastMatt on YouTube regarding shoehorning Tesla drivetrains into other vehicles:

What levels of inverse reactive currents are you getting for your unilateral phase detractors? 

You can negotiate with your insurance adjuster in the event of a total write off. Only using KBB seems really lazy, and I’d look at other insurers if that’s really the case.

I have ideas:

Depends on the state. Oregon already has a pretty expansive “electric highway” network of CHAdeMO fast charging stations, but those mostly just benefit Leafs. 

THANK YOU! Makes so much more sense with that context. 

I saw the 22B on display at the STI museum in Mitaka, Japan. Such a great car. 

Any comments on this Tesla safety report?

As an aside for those of us not up to date on internet banter, what is exactly is a “stan”, and where did it come from? I get the impression is sort of like the Gen Z version of “sheeple”?

I’m 32 and may as well be 132 when it comes to internet vernacular. 

I’ll believe it when I see it. The Wallbox Quasar was supposed to be the first bi-directional EV charger a few years ago, and it’s still not out on the market.
