I really want to convert my classic Fiats to electric, but at ~$20K ea for parts, it’s still a tough pill to swallow (on top of restoration costs for one of them).

6 figure bike with the same AutoMeter tach that every Fox-body Mustang had in the 90s (or an eerily similar looking tach)? WTF?
“American Exceptionalism” is a cancer that has done nothing but prevent progress. Any critique of our infrastructure, governance, or behavior is met with mindless “best country in the world” nonsense.
What’s the catch? Well, there really doesn’t seem to be one, except that the warranty doesn’t transfer to the second owner.
First gen Tacoma. Best truck I’ve ever owned. Never should have sold it.
GM LS-series.
Exactly. Air travel is not a right. Abuse that privilege, lose it. No fly list for every one of these chucklefucks.
For a global manufacturer, that’s a pretty terrible course of action when you’re dealers are independent. You have no control over the final quality of the vehicle. That only ends badly for you...
The tire nonsense has to be one the things I find most annoying about F1. Just set a maximum number of tire sets allowed and let the tire wars reconvene. No handicapping tires, no ‘forced’ pit stops, just “you’re allowed X sets of tires; go forth and race”. If the tire companies can design whole-race-supersofts,…
Jesus christ. $7k for a 98?! I paid $7800 for my 2005 two years ago. Time to see what I can get for a 4th Gen in this new mad, mad world.
I don’t disagree with that assessment at all. I just find it funny how Tesla cultists cannot seem to divorce the two issues. It’s all or nothing in their mind it seems. Tesla can be both a leading edge charging infrastructure company AND a poor quality, gimmick-laden, used-to-be car company.
But it’s also something that the federal government will get involved in, hopefully sooner rather than later. There is no need or appetite for model-specific charging standards or brands. EVs cannot succeed if you are tied to your-brand-only chargers or a million different apps.
Something will give here. It is…
No one is disputing the ‘edge’ Tesla has. The problem is, that will even out over time.
This is something the cult of Elon cannot get through their heads. Yes, Tesla broke through massive barriers and made amazing progress main-streaming EVs, but once the OEMs get in the game, all that time spent being ‘edgy’ vice making their production capabilities more robust/standardized/high-quality will bite Tesla…
This thing only has 125k on the clock?! Jeez.
Touche. I had never seen that before... and even did some light googling before posting.
Because convertible. Much harder to get multiple models in one seat with a hardtop in the way.
Cool! Another DMV 500. I know of a couple others, but never seen any in person. We need to have a local raduno.
