Remember when the big leap was when the industry switched from pull-out removable cassette decks to those with a removable faceplate.

Yeah, that seemed like a bridge too far to have Rivian develop a Lincoln crossover when Ford already has the Mach-E. Just make a Lincoln off the Mach-E instead.

Yup, this is the next Cap’n Obvious use case for EVs. Ford even mentioned with the launch of their E-Transit that their customer’s average daily mileage was 74 miles, easy covered by today’s tech.

Let’s see, Jeep made it through:

One can love cars and still have a broad perspective. 

Rare earth elements are not rare.

So much this.

You can register a vehicle without a title in California. It takes time, patience, and $... and a completed “Statement of Facts” form plus a half-dozen other forms.

25 miles covers a lot of daily miles. Once we start commuting again and if you have workplace charging, that’s a lot of case savings. Plus you can save the battery for once you reach the trail. I’m looking forward to it.
