Go backwards and swap in an RX-8 engine lol. 

I hate to pull rank on you, but I’ve actually been a property insurance underwriter for over 10 years. You’re making stuff up. If you get a 24A level 2 charger, you’re fine on a dryer outlet.

I’ll give you a star man. That was a lot of set up for that pun and I respect it.

Yeah man isn’t it a pain in the ass driving around with a cowboy hat on? Doesn’t the headrest keep knocking it around?

What are you talking about? A) your insurance company wouldn’t know. B) your insurance company would not give a shit, especially considering you have renters insurance. C) Fire is a covered cause of loss no matter the proximal cause. If your house isn’t burning down when you run your dryer, the battery charger isn’t…

All the manufacturers are doing it on leases because all leases technically do qualify - just the lease finance company gets the credit. So they pass it along to the customer to juice leases.

This is all well and good, but if you only have 100 amps of service and have a tree between your powerline and your now disallowed service connection, then the cost is considerably more to get level 2, which I think you really do need if you want to live with one of these as a true daily driver.

Until next year when you can take a rebate at the point of sale instead of the credit.

You don’t uh do math so good, huh?

You can’t operate any modern car without its computers!

Whaaaat? Come on that’s dumb. Your regular-old car battery isn’t designed to last 10 years. 

Eh... I don’t know about all of that. Maybe the tub part sure, but the i3 is crazy-looking in my eyes, and it’s range is seriously compromised unless you get the range extender. It’s also much more expensive. 

If you were in like a touring band or something this would be fantastic. Something that runs and doesn’t need work for $4k is pretty much always NP.

hahaha good point. 

Maybe? I’m assuming Stellantis wouldn’t part with Dodge, but maybe they would.

Realistically, the line that makes the most sense is Dallas to Cincinnati. You’ve got a huge hub for Japanese auto parts suppliers in Cincinnati/Convington, KY and you’ve got Toyota’s HQ in Dallas. If they could move parts and cars on high-speed rail instead of slow rail that would be huge. Same with connecting all…

Hmm. They already own Volvo. Will they buy Lincoln? Chrysler? Maybe buy Chrysler and the rights to Plymouth from Stellantis? I think if I were BYD or Geely, that’s what I would do. Turn Chrysler into a proper luxury EV brand and Plymouth into the mass-market brand.

Eh, I think the Defender is way nicer looking. 

Wait so is the North American Santa Fe going to be a 3 row? Is the next gen Palisade/Telluride going to be much bigger?
