Sounds like the dealer probably told him that he needed to finance there with the terrible interest, but he could just refinance after a couple payments. But it’s really hard to refinance when you’ve paid over MSRP and the high interest is eating away at any progress toward paying it down.

Seems like every EV is going with capacitive controls for things I want buttons and knobs for. I adjust things while driving and don’t want to be looking at a screen while hurtling down the road.

The tax credit is no longer a months later deal. It can be applied at point of sale.

you can seed the look-and-say sequence with any whole number. For example, if you started with 39, then the next entry would be 1319 (one three, one nine). Conway proved that all seeds yield a sequence whose entries grow to infinity, with only one exception. Find the exception.

I wouldn’t want to tattoo any web link onto myself. Between changes on the web and changes on my body, I’d expect it wouldn’t work for the life of the tattoo. I definitely wouldn’t want to link to this cover of a cover. Give me the Tom Cochrane original. If you want the country version, get the Chris Ledoux one. But I…

They have CAPACITIVE buttons. Which means that not only will they be positioned according to the steering wheel position, but they offer little to no ability to find them by feel and a lack of physical feedback when you activate them.

The hybrid and the Prime have similar fuel efficiency, but only the Prime is a PHEV. The hybrid, regardless of trim, is just a regular hybrid.

The fact that you can now buy a new Kia or Hyundai in a matte or satin color means we’ve hit the point at which we finally move on. I don’t know what the next trend is, though. I don’t think we’re quite ready to really start the e-ink paints, so maybe two-tone paint jobs that aren’t a black or white roof over a color…

I think you could deal with Surrey NanoSystems, because this would be for automotive use, rather than art. But you’d have to convince them your use justified it, and that would likely turn into a major and expensive project.

These are shaping the beam to allow the lights to still be at the angle you may want without shining into the faces of oncoming drivers. In theory, it maintains the visibility advantage of high beams without blinding others or switching between high and low beams every time you meet traffic.

Can we just convince the billionaires that fame and fortune awaits whichever one is able to pilot a submersible to find out what happened to this one? Make it a race; they’ll cut corners in the rush.

Keep it between 30 and 80 day-to-day, but load it up to 100% before you head out on a longer trip. These aren’t always/never rules, just what you should generally do regularly.

They say the same thing about TV shows they are on. They are sped up, scenes where there are unspoken silent periods for effect are sped up, etc.

Verizon is offering pretty much the same deal as AT&T. The Verizon one requires their top unlimited plan and gives the trade value spread over 36 months. Without that deal, they gave me pretty much the same deal Samsung does, except the $150 in accessory credit became $120 off the phone (still required the trade to be…

I want to see this buyer spring for someone to paint Totoro, Princess Mononoke, etc. onto it. A Maserati Studio Ghibli would be pretty awesome.

I’m the guy who drives 6 hours non-stop (Niro PHEV easily makes the trip without gassing up along the way) when I go visit my sister. One of the reasons I my next car will be an EV is because it would be far better on my body to get out and stretch more often, but I don’t think about stopping until I need something.

Put another way, are EV charging behavior stats biased in favor of those who own homes?

The site states that these lease offers include a $7500 upfront capitalized cost reduction provided by the lessor, which just means it’s up to the customer to seek the $7500 federal EV lease incentive.

Especially not V6 prices. I suspect those will remain very high and possibly increase, since the new one does not offer a V6. There’s definitely going to be a type of buyer that will take more cylinders over more power and efficiency. They may be convinced that a V6 is more reliable, they may not trust a turbo, or…

Yeah, I looked it up and Simpsons had 3987, as expected. Appears to just be a typo/mistake in this article.
