One man’s “old” is another man’s “retro”

This is NP.

Yeah, I phrased my comment badly. I meant depending on trucks to haul all this cargo now is likely murder on carbon emissions, at least until the fleet is electrified.

If the Jones Act was actually encouraging US shipbuilding (as it was intended to do), that would be great, but it isn’t. I suspect the carbon emissions are considerably higher than needed, too.

One can only hope that the short hauls in and out of this region can be electrified ASAP.

I would suggest that this, indeed, represents “fairly extreme and abundantly deliberate”

Nobody’s going to “fly over” the missing part without at least a few inches of incline to give them some upward trajectory.

I’d suspect this happened at night.

There is an extremely small chance this one car got certified, but I doubt that. The inability to locate the title suggests this did not happen.

I’ve had my Mach-E since spring and... yeah, I’m hooked for life. The torque is seductive and the car is as quiet and serene as the luxury cars I always wanted.

The “constant connection” thing isn’t confined to EVs. Virtually all new cars do it.

Yeah, I’ve been driving a Mach-E since May and there’s no way I’d go back to ICE, either. So smooth, quiet, and effortless.

Corn is a terrible feedstock for ethanol. I wish we’d accept that and move on. The Caribbean could be an energy powerhouse with cane-based ethanol.

Ford is refunding buyers who have taken delivery of a (now-discounted) Mach-E since Jan 1.

Intriguingly, Ford is apparently adjusting the price (and refunding the difference) for all Mach-E buyers since January 1.

These were nice (though not outstanding) cars when new, and this is a nice, clean example. But no, it’s not worth that price.

Magnificent

Resale for EVs has been rough just because there have been so few on the road so buyers don’t trust their longevity (FUD about battery life doesn’t help, either). There’s plenty of reason to believe that in the long term EV resale could be better than ICE.

EVs will see cost-cutting as the tech matures. Tesla’s big price cut is going to put lots of pressure on the market. There’s research that suggests EVs will reach price parity with similar ICE vehicles by 2026.

You’re making some assumptions there.
