we really need to take a minute and discuss efficiency... thats a 77.4kwh battery pack and you get 379 miles... that’s 4.9miles/kwh. that’s about as efficient as it gets for cars bound for the US market... to add to that, it’s not a sub-micro-compact size either... that’s impressive.

hey, look..... they’ve been installing air conditioning on houses for over 70 years... ok?... 70 years! it’s not like they’re gonna figure out the electricity problem overnight.... /s

the main limitation in how many EV’s sold is more so along the lines of how many they’re able to produce, because right now theyre selling those things hand over fist.

they really knock it out of the part with the cars they choose with the show and how they go with the characters. even the RV they start with, or pinkmans cars and how the cars change as the character develops... going from the flashy car to the 4wd tercel. every single car is hand picked for the character. it’s quite…

we’re right around there too on our Ioniq EV, and I need to rotate the tires, but based on how the fronts look rn, im guessing they have maybe another 10~12k miles left on them...

I read somewhere else that the factory producing this has a 150,000 unit/yr (of course not from day 1) production capacity, and they’re going to start delivering in Q4.... idk how true that is but if thats the case id say that’s pretty impressive.

this day and age, yeah....

I agree with this. infact id say that with BEV, you’ll be replacing tires first... mainly because it seems that manufacturers spec super soft tires on their cars from the factory (I’m almost certain this is by design)... granted this isnt just for BEV though, similar tire issue with ICE, but you definitely arent…

4th) youd be surprised as to what industries continental is in.... our volvo uses ATE brake calipers, which are continental... i recently purchased an engine fan from ContiTech.

really torn between my 1958 Volvo 444 and 1998 S70 T5M set up for Lemons.

I think the illiteracy comes from the idea along the lines of “I make $4000/month…. If I spend $1000/month on a car, I still have $3000/month to spend on everything else….” And they don’t add up all their expenses right then and there. $1500 for housing, $200 for utilities, $400 for groceries, $300 for gas. $200 for…

My only pause is those Nebraska plates. I’ve seen some Rust on Nebraska cars. But If that’s anything within reason, it’s NP in a hillbilly heartbeat. As $1500 is the new $500.

I thought it was my wife…

we can mount it on my roll bar!

Ive had a 2000 S40. that thing was such a steamy turd.

agree with this... i appreciated how they stuck to their boxy look thru the bubble era... while others were so busy focused on what bubbly cars they could produce, they never stopped to think if they should produce them...

how many boats can i tow at once?

Yeah. I think the bottleneck would be the size of the opening between the trunk and back seats. I’ve seen a couple cars in my bike shop days where the opening was too small to allow a bike to pass thru.

we also run in to the issue where we only use one key between my wife and I, and the other key is in a safe. 

maybe I’m reading something wrong, but they built these for kennedy space center, which is in Florida. they need to be enclosed for air conditioning and humidity, especially when theyre walking around in those big ass suits...
