Bingo

I remember when there was that Jeep full EV prototype thing, it still had an actual transmission with 4WD and such, and wasn’t direct-drive like almost all other EVs on the market. So I would be surprised if the PHEV has any sort of direct drive. I think with the Prius Prime, one axle is electric and one axle is gas…

Also transmission drag, probably?

When were those ever promised for any timeline that has already passed? Are you thinking of the $35k that was promised, and was also delivered?

My thoughts as an owner:

That wouldn’t help if you left the key inside the vehicle though which I’m guessing is the case here. Due to the context I’m suspecting the driver’s phone battery was dead (or they had turned off bluetooth). When they exited the vehicle, the car thought the owner had just gone out of range with their phone and locked…

My point is that it was not purely a joy ride to space. It was a fundraiser that raised literally hundreds of millions of dollars for charity and conducted valuable science.

I said:

Yes I suppose being the highest altitude woman in history, and youngest woman on a space walk is definitely one for the record books!

You’re allowed to have fun while doing productive work. It’s quite unfortunate if your life involves going to work and being sad for 8 hours a day.

Agreed.

Wouldn’t have just ceramic coating the stainless steel worked? And cut out the middleman of needing the wrap? Or does ceramic coating not adhere to steel?

Other networks are adopting the plug too, though. It’s not just that they’ll be able to charge at Supercharger. The plan is for all of them to use the Tesla/NACS/J3400 connector and some like ChargePoint are already switching over present day. I’ve used both, and NACS is a 2-fingered operation while CCS1 really takes…

Did they ever actually say that? The problem was never that Tesla had a monopoly, it’s that the competition was unreliable and using chunky hard to use connectors. Public charging has existed for longer than Tesla, Tesla just did it right with Supercharger and their plug style (now called NACS/J3400). So successfully…

Cybertruck in gear. Jeep in gear.

I think it’s the tip right by the headlights that drops off so fast that is really noticeable. But the headlight bumps themselves are higher than the middle (which is what reminds me of a Porsche 911, but not to that extreme)

It’s not any sort of brag to say you own one of the best selling cars in the world. I’m purely commenting on how the car I drive every day has a much more wedge-shaped hood than traditional sedans, which already had better near-field visibility than SUVs.

Reminds me of my mom when I was learning to get my driver’s license. She was always the driver for the household, so when it was her turn to sit in the passenger seat, she thought I was going to hit even single mailbox we drove by, because she was like 3 feet further to the right than she ever had been before

I would love to see this graphic with even more cars. My daily driver is a Tesla Model 3 where the nose slants down quite a bit like a Porsche 911 because no front engine, so I would guess it’s even better than the Camry shown here
