to be quite frank, and in my experience from using a handful of other E-bikes..... no.

yeah. to be completely honest Id guess it to be more for the occasional user that doesnt need a nimitz class truck, and not the actual pro who should just have the 8' bed.

got wayyy more than my moneys worth. at the time I was driving it around for work and my company paid for all my mileage.... I kept a log of every single dollar I put in to the car including insurance, gas, and oil, and every single dollar the company paid out on that. I wanted something a little faster (oh that’s

GM did their “multi-pro” tailgate thing where you drop the tailgate down, and you can lift up a small half-tailgate out of your main tailgate so your 8 foot shit doesnt just go sliding out the back.... I just wish it were available with a taller lip

I’ve actually really enjoyed having 2 rows. after owning the extended cab id never go down to a single cab. I use my truck for chores around the house, but I also use it for transporting myself, my gear, and others to races... bike races are a ton of fun, 4 or 5 of us pile in with our bikes and gear in the back, or

I picked up an immaculate (90 year old lady who garaged it the entirety of the car’s life) 98 S70 n/a 113k miles for $500 and a serious misfire... new spark plug wires and it was like brand new. wish i had never gotten rid of it, because it was in near perfect condition.

it’s totally forgettable, and that’s perfectly ok, as long as they can keep it under 45k

I dont mind it as a large, easy to read navigation system. i dont use nav that often but when I do, I like when it’s super easy to read in half a glance.

If we bought the car out after the lease, over 6 years, the monthly would easily be under $300 with zero down. And we’re still wayyy ahead in equity because they gave us a crazy low close out to get the car off the lot  

100% the plan for that one. Our buyout is crazy low too because it was a close out they were trying to move off the lot.

we’re insanely grateful we snagged one of the last EV lease deals for my wife right before the chip shortage. we went $700 down and $150/month for 35 months on an Ioniq limited EV.... that really puts us in a financially comfortable spot. I dont think I can ever see myself with a car payment over $400/m let alone

I think the saving grace for this is the low miles. sure there are low mile cars out there that are in shit shape because they dont get driven hard enough and whatnot but with this thing having 3 pedals, id guess its seen a wider range of the tac than what a computer would allow.

23 and Ford. and at 42k miles it aint all that bad... underwhelming? yeah. are there worse ways to spend $6k? absolutely. would this be a decent, relatively problem free, modest, A to B car for the next 6 or 7 years? highly probable.

Part of the deal was to remove the logos. So a defamation case would be for that.

I hope they open a defamation suit against that other bussing company and the people responsible for this mess.

Depends on where you live and the emissions/inspections rules that may come along with it.... but I say pre-emissions, RWD, AND under 2500lbs

If they put some regen capability in those trailer wheels too, quite honestly brakes on this thing could be even smaller than regular semi trucks.

is there no option to turn off your lane keep for anythign outside of adaptive cruise?

if its not a manual, i would like for them to put the high beam toggle switch back on the floor... give my left foot something to do.

i think it really just comes down to build quality. the 5 cylinder turbo volvos were pushing 100hp/liter and were designed to go 500,000 miles between rebuilds. and i trust it. I’ve had engines roll 250k miles zero issues (with appropriate maintenance of course).
