Can you flip it for $132,000 like this Toyota dealership is doing with a R1T in San Francisco?

1. Why only bucket seats in the middle row?

Yes, plug-in hybrids have real all-electric range, a bigger battery, and a stronger electric motor. Accelerating, emerging, passing, etc. is... fun. Since 80+% of Americans (pre-pandemic) drive 25 miles a day or fewer, it’s a great solution as most of your daily mileage is covered by the battery. Also when you road…

And you know what isn’t luxury - high beltlines, thick pillars, and overall crappy outward visibility. At this rate, cars are about to become elevators.

Wouldn’t this policy also apply to Rivian, meaning buyers of the R1T and R1S also wouldn’t get the $2,500 rebate?

That WSJ article does create a bunch of questions about specific route choice, charging station choice (24 kW?), etc., but let’s put that aside for now.

Reminiscent of the “Schoenes Wochenende” ticket of the mid-1990s.

3rd: the electric utilities have been working with NFPA since the 1990s on EV / first responder safety. Nearly 20 years.

So much this. Thank you.

For a second, it looked like Apple finally revealed their iCar.

These are great videos, but why does it sound like the same narrator in all of them?

This.

Today’s price-gouging is the final straw on the back of the car dealer business model... once inventory returns.

This.

Can someone explain (or point out an article) WTF is going on with the revolving door at Apple on their EV project?

How does it compare to the Model Y?

School buses use AC Level 2 240V charging. Cost? Depends on location, but $8K to $10K all in per station would be a good placeholder. The charging box itself is around $1K.

Interned at the BMW factory in Regensburg the summer of 1996. BMW built the 3 series there, which was available with the BMW Individual program where the options seemed only to be limited by your wallet.

Good question. We needed a station wagon (98%) that could haul around three kids and a dog that also could occasionally (2%) go off-road, including a few minor water crossings. Wanted to get a 4Runner or Grand Cherokee L 4xe (which doesn’t exist), but couldn’t swing the gas mileage of a 4Runner. Ended up with a…
