I really like this - especially the tail gate and clever interior. And despite the stats, the Tremor package would be extremely useful for us.

Whether they said anything or not, the post-Depression behavior of my blue collar grandparents set a strong example for me as a kid in the 70s and 80s.

Our family car growing up was a 1930 Ford Model A pickup that Dad bought and restored before any of us were born. Dad took the bus to work and Mom piled us three kids in the A to run errands. (Yes, the 70s were a different time for kid safety in cars). Later, Mom and Dad were able to afford a used AMC Hornet

That was Toyota and their “self-charging hybrid.”

You’re right. Sunset doesn’t have a bike lane either. My bad. 

What not both?

Someone died in that crosswalk in 2014, hit by a driver. The flashing yellow light wasn’t enough, so now SFMTA is adding a stop light. (The intersection in question is down on the southern end of Sunset Boulevard, just a block north of Sloat).

My dad has a saying: “Never buy a car named after an island.”

Hah-hah.  Great reference.

Ram’s Ramcharger PHEV (EREV) has entered the chat. Big electric motor with a big generator. Win.

1960-1964 (Kaiser-Jeep) “Willys” Traveller. A rare high roof version of the standard Willys Wagon with sideways bench seats. They only built ~200 for each of the four years, with most going to government fleet use.

FWIW, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the car companies, and the electric utilities have been working on EV fire safety since the mid-1990s. Whether or not the updated procedures and updated gear have made it out to every firehouse...?

You are exactly right.

I agree. 17 miles is...

What about the Crosstrek PHEV?

(Background: we’ve had two BEVs as well as a BMW i3 REx and loved them).

Agree. And this begs the question: “how does one provide feedback to the OEMs?” Letter? Email? Twitter? The dealer? Cardboard signs posted outside HQ? Something else?
