Yeah I meant 50k.

This has a 11-12 cu ft trunk. That’s tiny. I wanted to like these so much, but 228-hp and a 12 cu-ft trunk were not enough to be a daily that costs $35k.

Volvo famously said that when they go FSD in their vehicles it will be when they have a system that they are confident enough to take on the liability. But that’s Volvo being Volvo saying that is the level of confidence that needs to be in place before launching FSD.

Literally as it allows you to use it, the systems says “BE PREPARED TO TAKE CONTROL.” Sure, it’s a CYA, but it’s a legit warning.

For the $ you could do a lot worse. These are relatively bulletproof cars (provided it’s not rusting in the rear) and for someone with a highway commute you’d be hard-pressed to find an easier car to drive for longer distances.

As if the Olds Cutlass Calais 442 W41 wasn’t obscure enough... We get the Olds Achieva SCX W41.

Don’t give them ideas.

Ford has settings similar to this in their system, setting a maximum for battery charge and then alerts for getting low can be set, so it makes it straightforward. I assume all can do it, but my experience is only with Ford for anything over a quick spin around town.

NJ is the same.

Any cyclist who lived during the steel to aluminum to titanium to carbon fiber path of the industry has had so many of the conversations around material fatigue and vibrations. There’s a reason aluminum is a great material to use to build something, there’s also numerous reasons it’s not. Same for steel.

So Weird²?

Totally unaware of the MB system, is it like many of the PHEV systems that the engine doesn’t charge into the battery after it depletes?

Toyota uses this layout for more than a few of their cars. The Tundra double cab got power down and up for all 4 windows, my Vibe only had power down for the driver’s window, not even power up. So being a manual, if I was pulling away from somewhere I had to make a choice of window, clutch, steering wheel, or gears,…

Yep. PINs with MFA verifications. In ALL states that requires a subpoena.

No shit.

Reagan also spun Conrail to a buddy in one of the most egregious thefts in history and permanently stunted any investment in rail upgrades for non-freight use. So as he was willing to spend on space and military, the consistent piece in all of it was getting the right friends on the other end of the contract. He…

They need a close election. They sell hype.
