Everything has some level of federal protection. The railroads are not trying to intentionally destroy the environment. They’re in the business of moving stuff, including some nasty stuff, and, sometimes, infrequently, crashes will happen. Incendiary headlines, like this one, aren’t going to do squat about the fact…

The only things simpler on an EV are the motor and the transmission. They still have tires, brakes, suspension pieces, window regulators, entertainment systems, filters, HVAC systems, etc., etc. What is more complex is having two battery systems, one low-voltage one that controls the computers that make everything…

Because idiot drivers (inattentive/relying on unproven/dangerous technology) apparently are incapable of sharing roads with other vehicles, of any size.

I like it, but at maybe half the asking price.

Diverging diamonds are far less intimidating than roundabouts, especially the ones on multi-lane roads.  With a DD, just follow the lane markings.

Those side window deflectors are always a red flag, for me, since they usually come with that impossible-to-remove smoked-in smell.

One, if you can’t charge at home, EVs are a PITA. Two, until EV purchase prices drop to the same as comparable ICE vehicles, money/budgets will continue to have a huge impact on many buyers’ decisions. Three, the historic rapid depreciation of EVs (to date) is a good argument against buying a new one. Four, if the…

I have a bunch of older white whales, that I’d love to snare, not a bunch of Jimnys . . .

Traffic sped up in 2020 and 2021 (see “Covid”), so seeing it slow down in 2022, as more people drove more places, should come as NO surprise!

I have a bunch of older ones, but the one new one would be the Suzuki Jimny.

But what is the actual, out-the-door price?! “The price listed for this vehicle does not include charges such as: License, Title, Registration Fees, State or Local Taxes, Finance Charges, Optional Credit or Liability Insurance, Delivery Fee, and negotiable State Documentary Service Fee.”

In the world of VWs, they’ll probably get their price. It’s rare, yet parts are readily available. Would I buy it? No. But someone will.

If it’s “perfect”, why not just register in California? If it’s “perfect”, and you’ve just spent a bunch of money on maintenance items, why are you selling after just two years of ownership? This seems more like a vanity listing, more than anything else. ND.

Given that most airports aren’t set up for supersonic aircraft operations, modifying a 777 or something similar would seem to make a whole lot more sense.

I got to check one out at the local auto show (they’re built less than 50 miles away). I like the upgraded interior, but didn’t like the higher hood and the option of only 4 doors and a short bed. However, they’ll probably sell well.

Similar to my dad’s last car, before he passed.  My uncle ended up with the POS, but not for long.  ND

I agree, completely, plus, they’re already designed to carry a signifcant amount of extra battery weight.

It’s not the only reason, but it is one, and one that could be addressed if the political/special-interest issues could be resolved.

The vast majority of long-distance rail runs on diesel. Electrified rail is only common around urban areas, here in the USA.

It looks like it only has one airbag.
