Or maybe it’s the job of the person holding a license to pilot a multi-ton vehicle to pilot it responsibly. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been crossing the street with a signal and had some moron nearly run me down while making a left because they couldn’t be bothered to look out for people that aren’t in…

“I’m a modern guy that wants to stand out”

Now that I think about it though peeling out and wrecking at a Cars and Coffee might violate the Hippocratic Oath.

Coupe style, great for road trips, can be as nice as any Lincoln loaded up. Hard to be more badass than a doctor that dailies a Mustang.

Couple thoughts on the electric version:

This. Filter for Level 2 AC chargers, Level 3 DC chargers, Tesla Superchargers, free chargers, paid chargers, random 120V outlets, etc., etc. Total lifesaver for me as an EV driver.

I realize it’s an uphill battle in October of This Year of our Lord 2016 to try to change anybody’s mind about anything ever but Trump isn’t a good businessman or statesman, he’s just an exceptionally gifted promoter. And what he’s promoting this year is a return to values that said it’s okay to discriminate against…

Pretty certain it’s one of Auburn Hills’ products, but going by how big the license plate looks on this compared to how big it looks on the video stills above I think we’re dealing with something much smaller.

Leaning even more this way looking at the size of the SUV relative to the lane width in the first image. We’re looking at more of a compact than a full-size. Hints of chunkier black roof rails too.

I’m thinking that might just be an exaggeration of the black plastic bumper cover these all seem to have come with. What’s pushing me this way is the shape of the stamping around the rear license plate and the gradual taper of the rear bumper.

Upright tailgate seems Jeep Patriot-esque to me.

If they weren’t paying attention to a red light they sure as hell weren’t going to be paying attention to a fully-marked cruiser either.

Yet another example of how the American police view themselves as some kind of occupying military. Why does every police car need to be stealth? Why are we seeing more and more police cars labeled only with impossible-to-read retro-reflective decals on the side of the car matching the car’s paint color? Why do police…

I live in what’s considered an ancient home by Southern California standards, a barely postwar-era one-bedroom bungalow with knob and tube wiring as well, but I was able to add a 240V circuit outside off the main circuit breaker where the service comes in off the street with no issues over the past two-plus years. My…

You’re making the claim that a car that doesn’t exist outside of concept form offers a superior driving experience. So far the brand’s track record is the experience is superior in a straight line and nowhere else. I can get that experience in a front wheel drive hatchback. Where did I lose you?

I drive a 500e. I can take an M3 at a stoplight drag race up to the legal speed limit. I’m perfectly satisfied with that experience.

I’d be happy to. I’ve pulled my Level 2-only car up to plenty of public stations with CCS and CHAdeMO units that have been sitting there unused. Half an hour for 80 percent is on par with the Tesla, although to be fair that’s 80 percent of a much larger battery pack.

$7500 American federal tax credit if you buy, but most leases will fold that $7500 in as a capital cost reduction. New York has another $2000 in tax credits. California will give you up to a $2500 tax rebate in the form of a taxable check, but they’re reworking the formula on that so the state isn’t subsidizing the…

We need that $7500 to keep incentivizing people to get behind the wheel of EVs so everybody else’s investments in charging infrastructure and battery technology are worthwhile. We’re so much farther ahead right now than we would have been without it, but we’re still not all the way there yet.

Have you? I test drove a 2017 Volt the other day that’s leaps and bounds above anything else I’ve ever driven without a premium badge on it in terms of interior quality.
