In that lady’s shoes I’d be 100% focused on getting my daughter to safety, just like she was.

I have news for you about highways.

Honestly what you need is a new Leaf.

It’s about the parent company. Remains to be seen if VW, Porsche, and Audi are all grouped as one for 200,000 purposes or not. I think everybody expected the system to be changed before it mattered.

We need electric cars to replace gas cars, but also to build a lot more housing in cities where people can take transit and not use any kind of car at all.

My 2018 Pacifica Hybrid’s navigation doesn’t have local bridges that were built in 2015. But it’s still nicer to use than CarPlay.

Volvo is just coming out with “extended range” PHEVs now that have more like 40 miles AER instead of 20. I guess my parents got one of the last “short-range” XC90 T8s. (Which is saving them a lot on gas.)

Correct.

Ford C-Max as an alternate.

Tesla remains about 2/3 of US EV sales, so if we were standardizing on a plug, it should be Tesla’s rather than CCS.

Why do you care about this stuff for a personal purchase?

We need a legal overhaul to prevent shit like that. No, power lines won’t give you cancer, no, that Wendy’s isn’t historic, no, you can’t “save trees” by stopping a pipeline or power line that will prevent hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 from being emitted.

All issues in all countries are actually about American politics, didn’t you know?

Well, kid is a much more important decision than car, so car is going to have to flow from the kid decision.

It looks like the front driver’s side tire is thinner than the rear, doesn’t it?

This is my problem with Polestar too - the sticker price sounds great but spend a minute in the configurator and it’s a very expensive vehicle.

Toyota has blown their credit limits on Prius Primes and RAV4 Primes - it hasn’t been officially announced, but they started the year with 190,000 plug-ins sold.

2. Not really. Toyota is generally expected to pass its 200,000 cap this quarter, so they would be done with credits by the end of 2022 after the phaseout.

Communication is about what people hear, like I’m always telling my kids. I’m better off knowing that “inscrutable” applied to an Asian group or organization is going to sound unfortunate to some people.

I wasn’t aware of that connotation of the word. Just seemed apt for PRC propaganda’s weird combination of obvious lies and aggressive posture. I’ll avoid that connection in the future.
