>>With an electric car you can’t drive off with it plugged in. The computer won’t let you.<<

I used to love watching European Tractor Pulls on Eurosport.  I would literally be drinking wine and eating cheese while I did so.

I am saying they need to make the charge port visible as the driver approaches the car.  How they do that is up to them.  How it is shown in the picture is stupid for the North American market... and the European market too for that matter.

They don’t have to make a new die. When they design the die they make the components in the die... the punch section and the forming section that make that feature.... removable in the tool. So you can make quarter panels with that cutout or without it.

Pruett as always is the reliable mouthpiece for the owners. Those three teams represent almost HALF THE CARS ON THE GRID.

That is why I said in my original post IF SOLD IN THE US.

NASCAR is not a sport.  Auto racing is the sport.  Some forms of auto racing are much better to read to than others.

>>It’s a hell of a lot cheaper to reuse a body cutout for a gas filler cap as the EV charging port than to make a new body panel<<

Because users are not used to cars being plugged in. Making them go around to the passenger side to check is crazy.

This morning?

>>There’s no good place that fits everyone’s needs.<<

>>Why? A huge percentage of US EVs on the road today have them there.<<

The charge port should always be on the drivers side or some other obvious location for when the driver enters the car.

That is a horrible location for the charge port, if sold in the US.

>>You can stfu about how you think people on bicycles ride like they don’t think the rules apply to them.<<

>>Jokes aside, it still has to fit in garages and parking spaces.<<

This seems to be a story about taking something that is horrible and making it more horrible.

>>Their policy from day one should’ve been “Once the courts reach a decision, we’ll figure out what to do”.<<

It’s not the location… It’s the size. What do you need all that gas to go a quarter-mile for?

Actual tanked Dolphins are quite unhappy too.
