Agreed. I am a little bothered I had to scroll super-far to find love for the Nissan.
User is likely to come out better for the same money than any 10 year old 4Runner.  Besides, the Xterras are all at least 5 years old now, and they are, essentially, unchanged since 2004? 5?  Get one from after the SMOD debacle and…

That thing looks as if it tastes like hate....

In this case, though, would finding a manual Wrangler be so terrible an idea from DT, even though he is banned from the suggesting of same?
Full doors, hard top? All day long....

In my neck of the woods, any running pickup starts at $2k USD, which I figure is about $5.5k CNDND (How the f do you shorten “Canadian Dollars”?).

Everything that may be objectionable, at least ‘roun heah, would be quickly fixed with a custom rattle-can camouflage paint job.

Nice Price.

Let’s put aside the fact that the United Kingdom is a series of islands so, strictly speaking, one cannot drive from there to Shanghai

If you had said this 10 years ago, I would have immediately pictured an HP curve that was extremely peaky (like when the Celica made ~181 HP@ 7k, but ~84@5k (guessing on the second number))
As a hybrid plug-in battery thingy whatever, I am okay with this. I can picture the battery pushing up the left side of the curve…

Yes, it is.  I do not drive 600 miles at a clip, so it is different for me.  I realize I will need to meet the technology halfway.

Mine is 18.  I don’t do much better on a tank sometimes than extended range EVs, especially when I dip into the 17 mpg range.

@acevedo12: Yes. You can put down a deposit now. Jay-Beezy ordered 100k of them for his delivery fleet
@noname: I get 20 miles to the gallon, tops, in cool weather, less in hot or cold.
@MallardDuck: I am building the house out of which I will be taken toes first.  It will have solar with battery backup.  That is about…

2nd Gear: Good. I am rapidly becoming an old, and even I think the EV revolution can’t come fast enough.
My wife knows I will have a Rivian in a year or two, but I may need to start with a Volt. It did take some time to get to the realization that I am on my last ICE vehicle, but my daughters are 5 and 7.
I owe it to…

I am free to remove every airbag in my vehicle.
I just can’t resell it if I do, at least in Virginia, but I can still drive it on public roads as I please.

Neutral: I used to work at a Nissan dealership, C-level tech, parts guy extraordinaire.
There is tech I worked with that is painfully honest about everything, even, sometimes, to his detriment.
He is my guy, costs be damned.

My; that did escalate quickly. Am I missing something?  I pretty much only come here, and I don’t fully understand what Kinja is, so maybe I am better off?

California is not saying that everyone has to do what they want. Some states just happen to agree with them.
I wonder if this would be the same if Rhode Island decided that their native crab population required everyone to have an EV?
California is exercising their rights to say what can be sold in their state. Those…

Dominic.

Wait, do I just not know what ‘Blip’ is?
Is there a story here?

Still, it is a beautiful vehicle.

Damn.
You’re good.

Yes, but the transition was painful.  My wife saw it firsthand, as she was slinging cell phones at the time and had to offer classes for people to see how to use them.  Audience was 55+ every time.

Neutral: They are here to stay. Their usage is left up to the common man, once they are pervasive.
Think about the average person on the street.
Now picture them with an EV.
Yikes.

I am for it; don’t get me wrong. I am jonesing to put up solar and a house battery so I can live less griddish when I drive my (someday)…

Can you do what Julio Jones does?
Can a robot?

Ask the same questions of any job on the GM line. Do you get the same answers?

That is why no one bitches about Julio Jones getting paid as a member of a union.
