Where the hell do you live in California? I’m only 19 cents on my plan, which is for people with EVs.

And what is Ford’s position in all of this now?  They must be aware of the issue. 

You’re spot on.  They fear a power and money growth in an area that will work against them. 

Atomic Orange. Just the name is cool enough. Offered only on the Fiat 500e.

Those statements aren’t wrong. 

Can get a week’s work of groceries for five in a Fiat 500e by barely needing to drop one of the back seats…my recently divorced sister and her three teenage kids currently live with me. 

Short memories.  Wash, rinse repeat.  The big car habit needs to die. 

Wish this was a bumper sticker for the ultimate automotive attitude. 

No, not really. 

Tesla is already 100% electric. There is no need to cajole them, prod them, threaten them, reward them or anything, as they’ve already achieved the intended goal—getting a car manufacturer to stop making gas cars and go all EV.  GM, Ford and others need the constant poking. 

Older engineers call that ‘German’. 

Worked the medical laser field for several years.  The number of interlocks and safety circuits to watch over the operator and prevent them from doing something stupid was incredibly high.  Simple things like a low percentage of leaked light through the ocular or a mismatch of the fiber was enough to crash the system. 

Car shows today? Crap drama like any other crap (and cheap to produce) reality shows. Appealing to the lowest denominator of viewership. Compare to classy and historically and technically informative productions like Alan De Cadenet’s Victory By Design.  There’s no comparison.  

I see a lot of Lancia and some Alfa cues in there. Then I see Giugiaro designed it. Of course, it makes sense now. It’s half Italian.

My thoughts exactly.  A lot of Lancia in there. 

Triggered? You’re the one with FOUR posts already in on the subject. Triggered….

100% agree.  Why collect something common.  

The last Ferrari that doesn’t require any special factory interface to plug into for diagnostics or reprogramming.  Also not much needed in special tools to work on it at all.  A competent individual could work on this. 

Size.  No complaints about the ever growing size and weight of vehicles.   And it’s not from a safety standpoint. It’s from the shallow American thought of bigger is better 

Cop shortage?
