solo cup... i meant solo cup... not dixie cup...... now im off to find my coffee cup.... its probably on the roof

For some time we had a single red dixie cup tech-screwed down on the trunk of our 24hrs of lemons car.... we were working on the rear brakes, and one of us set it on the trunk, one of the other guys came along with the 1/4" driver with an extension, and made sure that thing became a permanent accessory on the car...…

This is why Dennis needs to stick with a proper vehicle like a Range Rover

yeah. plus the more you lift, the worse it tows/hauls. leave the beater truck alone.

the F150 lightning seems to be ‘only’ 6000lbs, so a consumer could only hope.

we have a 2020 ioniq ev. it’s a fantastic car. it actually drives pretty well, its very quiet on the highway, appleplay etc, we average 4.8 miles/kwh, surprisingly spacious, the rear has decent legroom (ok-ish great headroom), its pretty much a zero maintenance car (I pop the hood and look under it from time to time…

the rear vent is right there... they could have quite simply boxed it off in order to separate it from the rest of the bay.

all that work, and they couldnt figure out how to put that intake somewhere else?

polestar 3 is on the same platform as the EX90... so if I had to guess it’s gonna look pretty close... if you even look at that polestar 3 rear quarters where the taillights fit in, it’s already asking for the taillights to up the D-pillar like the iconic volvo rear taillights.... i could be totally wrong tho. 

sure... I guess what im saying is just that the P1800 shouldnt be rolled in to the same category as other cars which have only rolled a measly one-million miles. (yes theres a little sarcasm in there).

impressive they’ve managed to get 248 out of WLTP. the EPA cycle usually nets around 10~15% less, but even then it’s still over 210 miles... that thing gets roughly 4mi/kwh EPA... thats actually not all that bad.

“ a related model gained fame for doing over one million miles,”

to be fair, i feel like 30mpg for a car that size is pretty much par for the course in comparison to any ICE... I can see how that might hurt in comparison to a hybrid of similar size getting closer to 40... but averaged out, if you’re getting north of 70, Id say thats still fantastic.

yeah theres definitely something to be said about a car you can enjoy at lower speeds. being able to drive it ‘the fun way’ without having to think twice about speeding tickets.

yeah, im gonna go with this take too.... a cheap, light, new (with warranty), 3-pedal car. something you can rev the shit outa, and go flat out around corners, with little to no repercussions. speeding tickets? not likely.

That 0.29 drag coefficient is pretty sweet. It’s nice to see something with a low enough drag coefficient to match a Volvo 850 again.

right. but ya gotta drive a jeep at least once, so you can get it out of your system and never ever do that again.

*Laughs in S-class diesel with 30 gallon tank.*

and it may only be 5 minutes if you only need 25% to get you home, where you can charge it back up again.

I think it would also be good to get people beyond the whole “I need 350+ miles range” thing too. cut the battery in half, save a ton of weight/material, and work on some aero... you’d probably still get 200 miles of range.... which is wayyyyyyy more than most people do in a single day. and if you can charge back 80%…
