I mean the similarities between the Pilot and the Explorer are striking too. if this thing showed up with ford badges, youd just about have me fooled as well.

that front end gives me some mild ford fusion vibes.... it goes with their look tho, the pilot imo looks just like an explorer.

that’s weird... Id have guessed that a shorter front end would do a better job of keeping the pedestrian out from under the car... when I got broadsided in 2019 by an SUV, I didnt go up on the hood, I was almost immediately sucked right under the car and dragged.

I think it’s worth noting battery size here, because the fast charge on the EV6 is only calculating charge time for 46kwh of their 77kwh battery size, vs the EX90 is charging 77kwh of their 110kwh pack in the same 30 minutes...

I’ll be completely honest in saying that us Volvo weirdos buy Volvos because they say Volvo on it...

I hope im not the only one who sees a Ford Explorer.

Ive always told people “what he’s accomplished is quite incredible. no doubt about it... but he’s a loose cannon, he does not deliver on his word, and I dont trust him.” he’s not stupid, but he isnt a good person either. thankfully, this last month has made that more than abundantly clear for the rest of the world to…

I’ve used it to haul gas to the hot pits, candy to give away in the paddock, 15 gallon keg for the turkey day morning bike ride, grocery runs, home depot runs, bike commutes, events, and hauling bikes (boxed and built) home from work (i put a flat bed on it a little while ago).

even the SI with 200hp, at 3000lb will have some decent pep.

I’m in the SF bay area, and someone just stole my car hauler and 6-wheel crawler bike the night before halloween.

batteries are usually around 1000lbs give or take, so it’s only an extra 200lbs in a 4500lb vehicle. furthermore, starting in 2026 places like california are going to start requiring 10 year, 150k mile battery warranties. not an engineer, so im not completely sure on this, but with my experience from batteries in…

one of the original ideas around twitter was that it was only like 140 characters per post.

I agree... smaller battery, smaller car, smaller CdA, less “features.” give it some heated seats, adequate AC, bluetooth, a backup cam, and manual everything else... call it a day.

I can see them doing something like selling a car with only 80% of the battery unlocked.... and a couple years down the road selling an “update” that unlocks the other 20%

Neutral: annoyed as shit this halloween. someone stole my trailer and bike

I’ve burned soooooooooo many hours on these games... I dont recall ever completing them, but fairly often I’d be lost inside the game for hours, “I’ll do this one more task and be finished.” lol

Things are often a whole lot easier than it looks..... Find a diagram and pull up youtube. if a human was able to assemble it, I can disassemble it and reassemble it.

You missed the opportunity to say “Cyber Coupe” or nickname it “Tesla’s Coop”

My 1958 Volvo 444.

shit... now that I think about it, maybe I can 3D print a coffee mug to go on my daily to get tailgaters to back off that says “World’s Greatest Draft”
