You mean Takata version...

Cars without power locks... like my wife’s 2011 Civic.

You’re not wrong. The Volt’s ICE can drive the wheels directly, but it only does so when that’s more efficient than running the 1st electric motor as a generator, and the 2nd electric motor to propel the vehicle from the battery.

Not exactly. While the Volt CAN apply a clutch that allows for torque to be applied from the ICE to the wheels under certain circumstances, it mostly runs the ICE as a generator only (using the 1st electric motor), and the 2nd electric motor does the actual propulsion. GM found being able to directly link the two was…

While negotiating a recent vehicle purchase, when I mentioned adjusting the price a little (for good reasons which I had already explained), the salesman immediately replied “the price is the price” and tried to shut down that topic. I immediately called his bluff, the website price had literally dropped between when…

Yeah, I’d be lawyering up if that was my car.

This. So much this. The fact alone they never factor in charging losses is beyond me. That’s directly/easily measurable and is part of the daily consumption of an EV.

Constant duty ice-generator EV is damn near the exact description of the Chevy Volt (once you use the plug-in charge of course).

That’s not the case in the US. The US federal EV credit is not a refundable credit, meaning if you only owed $5000 in income taxes on your return before the credit, you would only get $5000 instead of the full $7500.

Nah. Jr can have bad days and still be positive and smiling, and still manages to be the most popular driver among fans.

Did they have it inspected by a mechanic first? You should always do that to find hidden damage before buying a used car.

Average economy is on the rise. Gas tax itself hasn’t increased since 1993, yet good old inflation has increased the cost.

The fact that’s their real name is even better/funnier imo

That’s literally the name of the company. Look at the logo on the distant warehouse in the middle of the pic.

Came here for this, left satisfied.

It can be similar in other cities. I’m in Columbus, love the city but the schools are abysmal. We’ve pretty much accepted we’ll have to either move or send our kid(s) to private schools.

You can do the CTS headlight through the wheel liner too, at least if you have long arms like I do.

Same, very long legs and very uncomfortable.

Because they are my employer’s preferred airline.

It looks like it has a big pout, complete with lower sticking out... or is a fish. Can’t unsee.
