Mine is a 3rd gen and the motor cuts out right around 25mph. I can hit and maintain 24mph on flat ground when unladen. I have not tested flat ground speed when my kids are on it, but I do not recall it feeling off from that.

The only benefit of this over a Cargo eBike is not getting wet when it rains....

Security Mode on the 2007 Chevy Colorado we owned for a few years. Based on my research it impacted all similar generation Colorado’s - but not all of them.

Can I just say that this image made my day:

I sit firmly in this camp - I Also buy my vehicles with higher mileage so my up-front cost is lower than new.

I have 211,000 miles on my 2007 Silverado. Just took it on an off roading 4x4 camping trip through the middle of the desert 2 weeks ago.

That is a Car Payment of $333 /mo. Cannot really buy a brand new car that equals whatever you have for that monthly cost - and next year you may only spend 1k or less on it.... You are making the right choice.

no kidding - I hope those guys all land on their feet and do something with all that knowledge.

good point - insurance would have to be taken into consideration.

To the NYPD and Mayor Adams:

I am not aware of any regulatory requirements for EV technicians to be certified electricians - just like you can open an Auto Repair shop without being ASE certified.

“We have like 350-plus appointments for Model S battery repairs, and we just don’t have time to go any faster,” Medlock said.

I do not understand what you are getting at. The article is about a law that will require all new cars to have it by 2029.

Computers should not be driving cars.

If drivers are both more educated and practiced safe following distances - There are not “Emergency” situations that cannot be avoided.

Do you really think someone will say “I have automatic emergency braking in my car so I can play solitaire on my phone while I am supposed to be paying attention to the road.”

Exactly.

In the original thread about this someone commented on my post saying it was a known issue for many of them.

At this point I have just resigned myself to not having DRL’s - but when the main bulbs die I will try that. thanks for the tip!

This is not directed at you Brad - just a comment on the backwards thinking of lawmakers.
