When I found the median new car price a few years ago it was about $10K less than the mean.

SWM Motorcycles is like Benelli - an old Italian brand now owned by the Chinese. The SWM 444cc air-cooled engine is built by their parent company Shineray in China.

The newest LLV is 3 years past it’s design life.   The oldest ones are 10 years past it.

Off the shelf vans are horrible ergonomically for door to door deliveries. You want a van big enough to stand up in, low step height to get in and out, and sliding doors so you can run with the doors open instead of open and closing them at every stop.

Cab overs have high step heights to get into the vehicle.

The back-up camera on the UPS truck I drove used infrared at night. The picture on the screen was black and white but worked fine.

Mercedes’ marketing data disagrees. AMG boss Tobias Moers said back in 2019 that all new AMG models going forward would be AWD because when an AMG model is offered in AWD or RWD 90% of customers pick AWD.

What was his talent?  That is the key.

The I4 is shorter - which leaves more room for AWD - which will be standard.

Too small for vanlife.

Workhorse is an unstable company constantly on the brink of bankruptcy, with about 100 employees, that has made a few hundred vehicles in the company’s lifetime. They don’t have the expertise to do high-volume manufacturing.   They realistically never had a chance.

True. My wife and I have done basic boring investing for the last 20 years. We are 44 and could retire today. Even today the majority of our investments are in simple vanilla Vanguard funds.

The problem is if they want to use a V8 in the AMG version they have to make the engine bay big enough for that V8 for every C-Class sold. There simply aren’t enough people that care to make it worth while. Especially when more than 1/2 of all Mercedes vehicles are sold in Asia where the owner generally sits in the

2 years to find a new supplier, for SK to tweak their cells so they no longer infringe, or for LG and SK to come to a licensing agreement.

Yes and no. The primary reason is styling. The angled rear hatch is currently in.

I doubt they will delay the ID.4 . VW got a 2 year grace period to use the SK batteries in the USA.

True - but dollar cost average investing is boring so no one writes articles about it.    

The German Energy Agency says we need both. Specifically we need eFuels for Aviation, Shipping, and Freight while personal transportation can transition to battery electric.

A 500 hp / 550 lb-ft hybrid 4-banger that is smaller and lighter than the current V8.

While Harley chronically mismanaged Buell the biggest sin was that they refused to sell Buell to Bombardier but instead paid more than $125 million to shut it down.
