The ‘best city in the world’ just now acquired decades old trash technology?

AND, AND...they canceled CarPlay.

That’s all assuming that people will actually use the power to pass slower moving traffic. In my experience, they will just ride the ass of the slow moving vehicle for endless miles, close enough to ensure anyone who wants to get by needs to pass at least 2 vehicles at once.

so just keep your EV between 30% and 80% ok. I do not want to sound like an range anxiety person but that leaves only 50% of the advertised range to play with.

They need to add about 3" to the cockpit length so that I (and other tall people) can drive one without being in pain. Or at least re-arrange the rear bulkhead so that when the seat is all the way back, the seat can be reclined more than a church pew. Seats that don’t completely suck would be nice too, but that is…

That’s a crock of shit. SF is one of the most connected cities in the U.S. Gigabit service is routine.

It’s sort of funny that we couldn’t help ourselves with the performance possibilities of EVs so we just HAD to make every one of them accelerate like a Lambo.

So my predictions: we’ll see it in 2029. The $25k price will be claimed to be 2018 dollars, so the “real” price will be $39,995. At that price it will be a RWD model, short range, black only, not available until 2031 and will be discontinued after one year. After that it’ll be a $50k starting price.

I still argue they peaked at MK7.5. Best small car platform ever made, imo. The entire MK8 generation is just gimmicked and weird. It’s “better”, for sure, but...........I just think they went a bit overboard with everything visual, both inside and out.

there is literally no other valid reason to buy a different color

All of this. Maybe if we actually COULD spec our cars, we’d see more variety. Instead it’s take what you can get.

*Dealers shouldn’t be allowed to spec their cars

This is another reason I’m holding off on EVs. I need to be able to pull up to any charger and whip my debit card out and charge my car just like practically any gas station in existence or it’s a no go for me.

I actually work for Co Co county which is located on the other side of the Delta.

Not blond at all. Chestnut brown, I’d say.

She gets -1 for totally whiffing:

So is it just me or is that the Needler from Halo?

Electrons flow better when it’s cold, but lithium-ion batteries can’t take a charge when they’re cold. They have to brought up to temperature first. For years, I’ve been saying that BEVs need to be designed differently to handle cold temperatures. They need more thermal insulation. When you have an IC engine pumping…

Almost anything is better than a console shifter for an automatic.  Lincoln’s buttons seemed fine.  Ram’s knob is also fine.  Column shifter, also fine.  Just stop taking up my console space with a super shitty hollow feeling and plasticky shifter.

More buyers started to want more space to put their crap, leading to larger and roomier center consoles.
