The Maverick Hybrid is also immensely useful AND has better MPG than many cars out there. How many cars are knocking down 40 miles per gallon and can still two upwards of 2000 pounds?

There are full featured featherweight camping trailers that have AC, Heat, Cook Stoves and chest refrigerators that weigh in less than…

I hope stuff like this case ends up increasing and eventually the entire self-driving car concept is taken out behind the shed and put down.

He’s a modern day Thomas Edison. Which means he has multiple TRUE geniuses in the vein of Nikoli Tesla who could run circles around him in many, many ways, except in the fact they lack billions and likely aren’t able to be hype beasts, like he is.

This whole Nazi thing was created out of Putin backing and pushing stories all over the world about how “bad” the Nazi problem in Ukraine has been for like 5 or 6 years now.

In a recent major election? Less than 1.8% of the vote went to the White Nationalist party. While... not great, that’s hardly as vast and…

That’s all well and good, but did you know that since the 1990's law enforcement across the entire nation has been purposefully infiltrated by White Nationalist organizations? The FBI found it worrying enough to begin to track it and moved reports up the chain in order to begin operations to counteract it.

They were…

They gotta go.

Bad emissions, poor mileage, gas prices will inevitably continue to increase. Without conversion? These beautiful pieces of art will be left to rot in garages, at which point, most will end up in the hands of only the extremely wealthy or in landfills.

We are approaching the point, where swapping out the…

There’s nothing wrong with an IPO before delivering a product.

Their technology is sound, it could be licensed out to other automakers for ramping up global production of EV’s worldwide. That’s a product they could “ship” immediately, without having to onsite manufacture anything.

The recent prices have more to do with profiteering than the war. They were already scooting up, because of profiteering, before this war was kicked off.

SO, basically, you proved the OP’s point, especially with thinking that somehow you were “owning” that OP?

The OP said, lead made you stupid and susceptible to right wing propaganda and you... agreed, thinking you were “owning” that poster.

I could repeat this a dozen different ways so that it might sink in, but I…

It would certainly spur more interest in public transportation, which we do need. In many cases, it could also spur a shift back to major cities, instead of massive, waste of space exurbs with gross sameness across the landscape that are built, not for people, but for massive machines to scoot around. 

It took that long, because they constantly push the idea that HUGE vehicles are “Safer” (they’re not) than well designed smaller vehicles. Add in the messed up reality, that every car maker has been pushing bigger and bigger vehicles on the road.

People end up gravitating towards larger and larger vehicles purely to…

Yep, it’s like they never heard of birth control or looked around and said, “Shit, there really are to many people, one and done for me! Thank you!”

I got the same remark about my one child seat in the back of my MINI Cooper.

I thought about that... 20 years ago, when I bought my home.

I picked a location, smack dab in the middle of nearly everything.

My daily commute is roughly 24 miles, total, give or take 3.

For your cell phone? Yes.

For your laptop? Yes.

Have you ever seen a request to run an update, on your car? No? You know why? Because they run automatically, without your interaction.

Tesla has done this multiple times, either temporarily unlocking the reserve portion of battery power, or to lock features when a new…

Our next car will either be 100% EV or will be a hybrid EV.

We will not be looking at purely petrol vehicles any longer.

40MPG or more or the equivalent of more or nothing.

This isn’t REALLY all that much different from most car makers though.

My own particular favorite brand has had multiple changes from a model that was “unchanged” between the years of 2008 to 2013, but they used two different motors in that time, they also switched out many components mid-year, on the early motor and…

The Maverick existing has me seriously considering buying a Ford. I have never, willingly owned a Ford. My ex-wife had one and my wife has one now, but she hates it and wants it gone... yet... this Maverick is REALLY piquing our curiosity.

The mid-trim level with the hybrid motor would actually be capable of towing the…

I’m fairly certain it’s been that case for more than a decade. On my 2006 MINI Cooper S JCW GP, when I pop in my ODBCII Reader, all the info and more is available on my phone, things that were never available as gage options. 

It’s already possible to 100% recycle the very degraded batteries.

The current issue is that it is significantly less expensive to manufacture new batteries from freshly mined materials, than it is to recycle existing degraded batteries.

In time? That will change. When will that time arrive? It’s very difficult to say,…
