motor swap across different years, different ECU, made a fresh wiring harness, new vac routing, cutting, drilling, hacking..... making shit work.....

id be surprised if they didnt have room for a 50 mile battery in this thing, but they only put 40 miles in today due to supply constraints. 

your VIN is publicly accessible on your dash there too.

Ok, yeah. sure...

that thing sounds fun AF... $25k? NOPE.

yeah the prices on those things are insane, I could buy and restore just about any other car for what it would cost to buy a beat to shit Taco or 4R. people always argue how a beat to shit toyota will still last longer than a restored chevy, which even if that were true, it still just isnt worth the final price or…

bigger, more expensive SUV’s, inflated home prices, hiring freezes/layoffs, and a looming recession.... im trying to think if we’ve ever dealt with this before.

I really hope that’s the case. how you’d amass billions in wealth being a classic idiot really defies the odds but for the sake of humanity, I hope you’re right.

not a kid, but sure, and the world is also very different today. just because we used to transport goods via overland wagon pulled by horses doesnt mean that you can transport the same goods we do today via overland wagon. we live in a different world with different requirements now. there will absolutely be a change,…

starting in 2026, california is going to start requiring 10 year 150k mile warranties as well, which is super exciting.

a 60kwh chevy bolt pack weighs roughly 950 lbs... so maybe 1900 lbs for a 120kwh battery pack - just a quick guess.... but sub tract 700~900lbs of drivetrain maybe.... also the skateboard becomes structure, if i had to take a quick quick guess, an electrified sprinter will add maybe 10~15% give or take for the bigger…

sure, everything is opinion based... but you can at least take it from the source and base your opinion on that, as opposed to basing an opinion on an opinion of an opinion.

I dont have a twitter either, but you may be underestimating how much news and information shows up on twitter first, and then proxy to you through another source

yeah, I think hes just been so used to pulling results outa his butthole with tesla that hes forgotten what its like to fail... that being said, if in the end he just takes twitter down to zero, its not a complete loss for him, because it removes a large component of communication. and that’s a HUGE hit to the general…

twitter is the largest platform for unfiltered/direct communication from government officials to the people, and the largest platform for unfiltered P2P news.... if he takes this down, we will have to rely on legacy media platforms, which inevitably has tons of bias... i personally believe that his goal is to control…

I noticed this too. I havent put gas in my cars in a few months, so I think im gonna top off my cars between now and the potential railroad strike.

2000 Volvo S70 with 275k miles…. Reliability.

I almost voted Tesla as well. Mainly for kicking off the electric car market and the momentum it has today. It showed the public the viability of EV’s. I will likely never own one, especially as long as the company is the way it is, but they kicked all the legacy auto makers into high gear when it came to getting EV’s…

The 1959 Volvo PV544.

I wish my 1937 Buick Special came with a manual.... it’s got the 3 on the floor, but the problem is that if I ever need to fix something, the documentation for such an old car is just really hard to come by.... I wish it came with a proper repair manual.
