It’s not even in nice shape. How does the passenger side of the armrest get that ripped up, and are we going to talk about the wheels?

Or a Spark EV, which is a lot more maintainable (tires are normal sizes, body parts aren’t unique to the electric model, etc.).

I think it’s a good bet that once Ford crosses the line (also likely this year), the current scheme is going away.

It’s also not a plug-in hybrid, or a plug-in car of any sort. The hydrogen Mirai is a bizarre choice to illustrate this story with.

The truck thing absolutely needs to change. People shouldn’t be out driving vehicles with a hood height of 4' or more without special training, licensing, and insurance.

Right now my local Ford dealer has a $7500 ADM on their one Mach-E in stock.

I mean, we’ll see! Right now Tesla is selling ~3/4 of EVs in the US and GM sold 26 (vehicles, not percent) last quarter. If GM makes a shit-ton of these, that’ll be awesome.

Don’t worry, they also announced a Blazer EV.

If Ford doesn’t totally eff up its EV sales, they won’t have a rebate after this year.

Every dealer group on my local auto mile is renovating their stores. I think they’re doing great this year.

A gently used Spark EV will cost you ~$13k even with today’s crazy prices, can handle the commute, is a pretty fun little car, and can be serviced at nearly any Chevrolet dealership if something comes up. Maybe that’s not in your budget, but the efficiency is lightyears beyond a Wrangler or minivan, for sure.

Since BBB isn’t happening, we’ll see more manufacturers hit the tax credit phaseout period. Already 75% of sales are without credits because they’re GM and Teslas; in 2022 Ford, Toyota, and maybe even Nissan could easily join Tesla and GM.

It’s a bizarre article. Does he want Brightline shut down because people all but deliberately kill themselves at their tracks?

The most important thing to complain about with the MX-30 is that Mazda is only importing a few hundred a year. How common its use case is doesn’t even matter.

They’re importing 600 cars a year. Nothing about this car is important.

Nah, that doesn’t reduce the range of EVs all that much in city driving. Going 90 does.

Go for it. The CX30 has probably hardly depreciated at all.

Most EVs can easily recoup 28-30 miles a night from a regular plug, no Level 2 installation needed.

Okay but then you’re moving from owning something you can’t own to willfully forging things. I’ve got to think that changes it from “listen here pal we have to crush that thing” to “we’re willing to consider your preferred FCI”.

Since they grouped Fisker under Wanxiang, even though no Fiskers were produced under Wanxiang ownership, I’m surprised that Saab isn’t just put under GM.
