we have the first gen. its actually been really great. they claim 170 miles range but we get roughly 190 miles/charge we’ve done a couple long trips on it and charged along the way, the charging rate isnt the fastest even on a DC charger, but the range comes right back, because it’s really efficient (super low drag).…

this mentality is toxic.

Ive ridden this a handful of times... rarely came across a logging truck... but 128 to the coast on the other hand, that is scary. no shoulder, and the last 10 miles or so, those trucks are flying.

all car prices are insane.

“You should get an Audi S6 too (for reasons) The audi chain tensioners usually all fail by 120k. So if they haven’t failed by then they should be good.” — my buddy With an S6 who bought one at 135k miles

Or “insurance is garbage, get the cheapest insurance you can find.”…. It’s always garbage if you pay for garbage. I carry good coverage for myself and it’s paid for itself a hundred times over. 

from both sides... GM planning on building a buncha crazy inefficient EV’s that most of us cant afford while trying to kill off the bolt is blatant idiocy....

I love how the delivery guy just looked at her and made the split second decision that he just aint being paid enough to deal it and backed off.

yeah... as much as i love ev’s... we just arent ready for full electric trucks just yet.... i personally believe that smaller cars should for the most part just all be BEV... but trucks are where PHEV makes a whole lotta sense for probably the next 10~15 years.

an efficient truck would be nice... (ute anybody!? i personally like having a cabin separated from what im hauling) but that just aint happening...

ioniq 6 is a great buy too, especially because hyundai is offering promos on them right now... you can get something like $5000 off, if you have a huyndai currently, theyll give another $2500 off, plus alot of dealers are offering another $1000~$2000 off.... and you can get the $7500 federal tax credit on top of all…

There was a towing company in my area who was scamming apartment dwellers who had to have tags on their rear view mirrors years back (or maybe it was placed on the dash. Can’t remember exact details). They found out that if they just jerked the shit outa the car while towing, the tags will fall off and onto the floor.

i was bummed when i saw this too. it really is the ideal truck... not massive, still capable of pulling 7k lbs (personally i need something that can pull 5k comfortably... i dont do it often, but i do tow from time to time, so its a necessity).. plugin. because when i tow, it’s well beyond any range electric trucks…

my wife drives an EV, and I drive a flock of shitty volvos. she often says to me “if i werent married to you and your countless junk cars, I would probably have gotten the plugin hybrid.”

or rented... in any case fucked

Volvo P1800 is the realistic answer, but my heart would much prefer a PV444 and PV544 with 444hp and 544hp respectively

sometimes we push back even against our own best interests too. funny how it works.

fingers crossed for a new small electric pickemup?

The CARB rules require batteries to have 10year/150k mile warranty, for one.
