But hey, at least the beltlines were high so you couldn’t see out of them.

Does it come with a bumper sticker for its German customers: Ein Ticket für die U-Boot-Rennen.

Here’s a short list of hypotheticals: Charger heads get dropped. Salt air is rough on the pins. Cords get run over. UV light damages cords. People accidentally hit the stations. You might be wondering about maintenance.

Last mile delivery is such a Captain Obvious use case to electrify.

3rd: The Bloomberg headline says it all: “Japan Doesn’t Have Enough Electric Cars for Its EV Chargers.” Not enough cars. The Japanese OEMs aren’t known for their enthusiasm for cars that plug in. Nissan even seems to have squandered its early lead with LEAF.

Yeah, on the base trim (LS), one can order the front row bench on the Suburban and Tahoe.

Yeah, the 4xe takes all the awesomeness of the regular Wrangler and adds the instant torque and smooth, quick acceleration of an electric motor. Added bonus: you can “fuel” with a good 12oV outlet. What’s not to love?

Nice. The dreaded rear view mirror blind spot sucks.

The Model 3 has its problems, but I actually find the outward visibility to be excellent. It has one of the lowest beltlines and dash boards since an early 90s Honda and the pillars aren’t too thick by modern standards.

There have been spy shots of the next-gen Ranger with a PHEV system. That would be sweet if it comes here.

Yup. They know the regulatory value (cost) of the credits, and can tweak the residual value to offer crazy low price leases to move them.

Agree. We moved from a 500e (FIAT, not Mercedes) to an i3 REx to a Bolt to a Kia Niro EV.  Have a gasoline car as a second car. Although the FIAT and BMW were fine runners, can’t imagine moving away from the range of the Bolt or Niro. 

Agree. Back in the day (`10 years ago), we had a FIAT 500e (one kid, one big dog), and then moved to an i3 REx (two kids, one medium dog). The EV was our second car; we also had old gasoline-powered Accord with a lift kit. The short range BEV worked great as a second/commuter car, but we plugged it in at home and work…

In all fairness to Telluride, it actually is good to excellent at everything it does, looks nice inside-and-out, and is (was?) competitively priced.

You even can spec out a Tahoe or Suburban with front bench!

6’6” but I don’t like feeling like I’m sitting at the bottom of a well while driving. 

Is the beltline so high it goes over the tops of your ears?

This. 

What about passive safety features:

“openness to chance” was intended to be “openness to change.” #needmorecoffee
