Cost...It is literally that simple. FHEVs generally come at a premium of $2-3K and the math often doesn’t work. Take a Rav4 Hybrid, it costs about $3k more upfront and will net you maybe 9MPG more in mixed driving. With 15k miles a year, you will save about 100 gallons. At $4/gallon, you save $400/year. The payoff is…
You can currently get the full time 4WD in the 4Runner with the Limited trim, I don’t see them stopping that for the 6th gen.
Around here (Central Alberta) it’s a $110,000 F-350 King Ranch. All the old guys now have huge trailers and still think they need to support the oil patch. They’re a menace.
Saying any Ford Twin I-Beam truck “rides like a car” is a huge stretch of the imagination and truth.
So, owners who are desperate to start their off-road build will either have to start with a Raptor or order a more pedestrian Ranger with both diff lockers and and figure out their own tires and suspension.
Cut out airbags is a classic sign that this has been entered in the auction by a flipper who bought this and superficially made it look better than it really is before listing it. Insurance companies dont do this.
It’d be more newsworthy if the report was about Fisker somehow not being trouble. We’ve been reading about them for a decade now and every single time it’s about running out of money, a catastrophic disaster, or something of the sort.
Nevermind that the plug in needs 1/10th of the battery, which not only means production inputs are lower, but also means that those limited resources can be used in additional new plug ins.
First, since when has yellow been a color for the Prius?
Isn’t there a bit of chicken/ovum here? I wont buy into a new car company if I dont believe they’ll be around in 4-5 years to get me the parts/service (recalls) I might need, but they wont be around in 4-5 years if no one buys from them....
1st Gear – I’m not the only one saying this here, but when you’re pricing EVs at $70-125K, you run out of First Mover sales in a hurry. There are valid financial reasons why the Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3 sold a lot better than Hummers and Tesla Model S. Hit price points regular car buyers can afford and you’ll sell…
Maybe I don’t understand engine dynos... but I don’t think this is “fully functional” when there’s no linkage to the crankshaft. The radiator doesn’t appear to be plumbed either.
Toyota was selling a hybrid in the US a full decade before the Volt.
She is getting way more attention out of this now that it’s posted on national websites than they ever would in a carpool lane. Maybe she agreed to split the proceeds with the school if they made a big fuss over it?
The real killer for any battery. Quick charging 20% to 80% in 30 minutes on a consistent basis is a killer.
Simple for my wife and I....as two people who are in leadership positions we enjoy going on a vacation where our goal is to not have a plan and just chill. We were weary on the first couple of cruises we went on but ultimately we enjoy being able to chill, go to a show, hit the piano bar, eat, drink, etc. without…
thats not hulk hogan, its hollywood hogan. The NWO shirt gives it away.
I pointed this out in another thread yesterday, but there’s no way these Cybertruck deliveries are anything more than ceremonial, to satisfy Elon’s self-imposed deadline.
