It doesn’t matter because this proposal is going nowhere in the Senate. This is D’s signaling to their pro-union supporters. I’m a diehard progressive, but this seems more like messaging than serious legislation.

You are wasting fuel (and needlessly increasing emissions). Unless you need time to defog your windows, start driving immediately after starting the car. The car will warm up faster with driving. Just keep the RPM low for the first minute or so if you’re concerned with stressing the motor.

This town has a population of 3,500. The handful of deliveries that might happen in this time frame will just be routed to a nearby town. Probably Watertown.

That was the experience I would more-or-less expect. EV road trips are doable, but require a fair amount of planning and knowledge.

Volvo is now including lifetime complimentary scheduled maintenance for the XC40 Recharge.

There aren’t enough votes in the Senate to eliminate the filibuster or pack the court even if Biden wanted to. Neither Sinema nor Manchin would support those actions, and Dem leadership has no way to force them into doing so.

Toyota screwed up and thought the future would be fuel cells instead of batteries. They’ve been actively lobbying against EVs. They’re late to the game because they made a bad choice, not because they’re overly concerned with safety.

Based on a sample size of one couple. Okay.

80's Toyota pickups. I don’t think there was an actual model name - at least in the US. I didn’t have one, but I knew some folks that did, and they beat those things to Hell and back with no mechanical problems.

Sorry, nothing but home streaming for the foreseeable future here.

Just thinking about “Car Bomb” still makes me giggle inside.

Damn, I used to listen to that album all the time in college.

For better or worse, Biden is a populist at his core. He won’t get really angry about this until a majority of the voters do.

Will there be a 48 Hours in Pyongyang sequel where he parties with Kim Jong Un?

Before anyone shakes their head about Texas specifically, consider that this law is now a TEMPLATE for any state with a conservative legislature. Unless the SCOTUS takes this case and rules against it, this law will very quickly be replicated across much of the U.S. This isn’t just a Texas thing.

Also...

Depends on what you mean by “best.” How about the Phaeton? It’s a car that any enthusiast could lust over, but hardly anyone would be crazy enough to buy.

Focus SVT.

Damn Evo owners.
