30 amp plugs are already pretty common at campgrounds / RV parks. You could get a full charge overnight + run AC/heat etc.

GM was hardly late to the EV thing. My Chevy Volt is not over 10 years old. That and the Bolt beat the Model 3 to market almost a full year and when came out still cost less than a Model 3 to boot.

What other Cadillac rebrands are you pretending happened? They haven’t changed at all since the mid 2000s

Give GM a little credit here. We’re talking about a huge company that not too long ago made some utter pieces of shit on wheels and had a serious badge engineering problem. What they are doing here is not only a complete re-brand but a complete product and service portfolio replacement. That is amazingly difficult for…

What a bunch of clowns.

My Ford Escape does. On my Jeep Wrangler, and my son’s Honda Civic, you have to push in the AC button to engage the compressor/condenser.  When you do, the little green light comes on on the AC button.

I always, wondered why my A/C turned on when I hit the defrost button. Going back to Thermodynamics class in university and remembering the basics, this all makes sense now. Good to know!

Every single car does this automatically. It’s how defroster settings work.

And yet lifehacker somehow missed that trick. It only took me a couple minutes on google to figure it out, but it almost creates a deadname scavenger hunt while I try to figure out what Elliot Page used to be called.

“there’s never a reason to publish someone’s deadname in a story”

An EV Aztek would strangely fit the market pretty well right now. Aventure-y “lifestyle” SUVs are pretty popular, and an EV one with some good range would probably be a hit as long as GM doesn’t fuck up the rest of it. It would basically be a smaller hummer EV, I suppose.

GMC HUMMER LITE.  ALL THE TASTE, HALF THE CALORIES.

Small AWD EV? That will hit the market in the sweet spot. Badge it as a Buick with some leather and chrome. 225 miles of range would be plenty enough for the aging hippies going to the co-op, and enough range for a day of running the grandkids around from the sustainable farm to the beach, and back down to that new…

Usable beds were sacrificed long ago for bigger back seats and higher belt lines. The modern truck bed is a short box that only exists to provide bulk and can’t be reached without deploying a hidden staircase.

I say this as a dyed-in-the-wool environmentalist: at some point, we need to get people who don’t give a shit about the environment to also buy EVs. We need to get everyone (or at least most people) driving vehicles that aren’t powered by fossil fuels if we are to have a hope of preserving at least some of the Earth’s…

Yeah, this one is.

The sails didn’t cut down on the Avalanche usability unless you were hauling something very awkward shaped. They were flush with the inside of the bed wall and didn’t take up bed space.

I’d probably move in if I could afford the taxes because some of those houses would sell for well over a million if you put them on the market after two years (to avoid capital gains tax). But overall, yeah, don’t need all that maintenance. 

Just from the scattered details in related news stories (and based on my experience as a real estate paralegal) it is my non-attorney opinion that a couple things happened. First, I think she had a loan modification prior to the makeover. That would explain this statement: State and banking officials were able to…
