Can you plug in at work? Near work? Near home?

Is your commute short enough that you can get away with a two or three partial recharges a week?

I can’t charge easily at home and the charger at work is shared, but I still make it work with a 120 mile range i3 and I love it.

That being said, if it’s NO to all of the above,…

This has startling implications for the current presidential regime.

Oh totally- but a lot of those cars have a lot more real estate for that arrangement AND a lot of those cars still end up having to turn off the brake lamp when the turn signals engage.

Thats a pretty small little corner that Jeep left themselves to fit brakes, running lights, and turn signals.

I honestly don’t like the…

Torch, I’m sorry, but this is wildly common. I agree it doesn’t seem ideal, but it’s the result of a couple different CFR regulations.

The four offending regulations are:

I’m about to sell my ‘04 6-speed TSX with 140k, a flawless interior, and a dinged up exterior and I was thinking about starting at $4.5k after I put new tires on it.

Fantastic car. Absolutely adore it, and they hold up well. The outside on this one looks better than mine but the inside is trashed.

Here’s the thing,…

Having seen it in person, what’s your take on Cam’s comment?
Everything I heard from people who saw it was contrary to what he said.

Shame their infotainment looks and feels like its from 2002...
That’s the one thing that holds me back on them.

To make sure you know it’s not one of BMW’s “Gran Coupe” models, which, of course, are four door coupes, a very real and normal thing that BMW has pulled straight out of their ass.

That’s fair! We had a pretty good experience at Kia. Pretty middle-of-the-road, mostly because we wanted to see the Niro Hybrid and the guy was a grumpy boomer who was clearly not just completely ignorant about EVs and Hybrids, but pretty biased against them. We didn’t get to the point of getting a quote because,…

This is interesting to hear- GF has been shopping for a new car and I’ve been tagging along.

Hyundai has been the best dealership experience by far here in Phoenix, maybe tied with Mazda.

TL;DR: I’ve had the exact opposite experience!

Some of it, as others have mentioned, is that VWG is being much more conservative with their batteries, so expect the packs on a Taycan to last longer, even when tracked.

My dumb ass, engineering degree and all, was about to protest that going from 11’ 8” to 12’ 4” is only an increase of 6 inches, not 8.

Go watch better streamers like Shroud or Aculite.

What, in your eyes, made the gunplay look horrible in that clip?

In defense of the Rav4 specifically, the new Rav4 is genuinely fantastic. Not “Fantastic for a Crossover”- genuinely amazing.

VERY premium feeling at all trim levels, good driving feel, and actually pretty good to look at now. I appreciate them pulling design inspiration from the 4Runner and Tacoma instead of upsizing…

To my knowledge, they aren’t using hub motors at each wheel, its inbound motor and gearbox pairs with half-shafts to the wheels for long suspension travel.

Well that, and its not like their engineers are all 21 year old noobs fresh out of school.

Nah, I’m just an accomplished mechanical engineer in the automotive industry. What would I know.

When did I talk about what consumers care about?

I think its important to remember that Rivian has been around and working hard for a decade. Its easy to act as if they’re another Faraday Future thats come out of thin air and made massive promises with nothing more than artistic renders.
