30 mile all-EV range?

The Ford Fusion has been doing that for 5 years or so. That is pathetic, but in line with BMW’s electric underachieving.

To tackle winter and cover a far bigger spectrum of commutes, it should be 60-100 miles, which will deliver 30-60 all-EV in the worst of conditions.

But it’s hard finding space…

Where are you reading that Hybrid systems are unreliable? Keeping the topic on Ford, Escape Hybrids have been known to reliably rack up 300-500K exclusively on taxi duty.

Yeah, they should tell that to George Zipp.

I can’t do it justice, but Harris practically spins poetry when he gets behind the wheel.

Pretty the question was about the worst cars, not about your sad little “accomplishment” brag...

Yup. You simply aren’t buying a museum piece at this point. That said, if this was a solid example, I’d totally buy it as I yearn to own a car from my birth year.

I’m with you, David. I love the old truck, but I’d rather spend $12k on a “solid” example instead of $40k for a “mint” example. Because unless you continue to keep it in a climate-controlled garage without running up the mileage, you’re going to end up with a $12k “solid” old truck in a few years. 

Reading about Jaguar these days is like watching the very end of the movie Spinal Tap when the band was finished until Nigel came back to tell David that Sex Farm was on the charts in Japan. Replace Spinal Tap with JLR, Nigel is Land Rover, David is Jaguar, Sex Farm is EV, and the entire comedy of errors that is the…

(And I don’t think all the Teslas driven by the oppressive, totalitarian, misogynistic government in The Handmaid’s Tale is the kind of product placement anyone wants.)

From the legal team that threatened a 360 owner for converting his car into a limo. They gave him 14 days to remove all Ferrari badges or face a lawsuit. By the way, what ever happened to that guy?

Nissan is the Japanese version of Dodge.

I don’t think people fully appreciate how weird The Henry Ford Museum is. You start your journey seeing as-expected industrial innovations and things like a deconstructed Model T, then before you know it you’re looking at the chair Lincoln was assassinated in, blood stains and all. The place is full of oddities.

He’s got blinker fluid!!!

Have they mentioned what the annual fee will be to unlock the shifter?  Can I pay a flat rate at purchase to keep the shifter unlocked?

It’s still newer than the Nissan Z. Might as well just put it back on the market. 

Boring and over-grilled styling, poor EV development, and now this policy means we’ll likely replace our BMW with something else when the time comes.

Feels like high-end hotels charging for wifi when every crappy value hotel includes it free.

Let’s not forget they were using a standard nylon tow strap meaning this really isn’t some major feat in pulling otherwise that thing would have snapped.
