Boy, do I sure not understand these.  Sounds like a ton of future e-waste.

In all honesty, this comes back to the fundamental question: what is the point of a digital licence plate if it’s not for this sort of nonsense? It’s more expensive than stamped aluminium, requires power, can fail, and can be tampered with in an occluded manner. Who, other than people looking to commit moving…

I could maybe argue the point, EVs in particular truck evs... are quite heavy so hitting a pothole at speed.... ok mayyyybe could do some serious damage.

um... this speaks volumes.

Potholes are the latest item to add to the list under the asterisk for the “designed for any planet” marketing.

Still the most amazing dipshits driving these things around.

This is exciting.  Especially the shooting brake…

CPO Mazda 3 is the correct answer here. The very DEFINITION of “luxury-ish”. Even the turbo ones have decent fuel economy. The hatchbacks aren’t the EASIEST to park because those C-pillars are enormous, but that’s a small price to pay for such a complete package. Maintenance and repairs should be pretty reasonable…

We need to be paying our police officers more, so that they can afford to hire people who aren’t this goddamn stupid.

Ah yes. Those cheap ebay racer seats look so comfortable...

I saw your headline and my immediate thought was “Hey dummy, 2015 was only five years ago! That’s not a decade ago!”

It’s crazy to think that Nissan could be the Tesla of EVs today if they had simply made an EV that didn’t look like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. 

The first rule of buying a used EV is liquid cooled batteries only. Air cooled battery packs don’t hold up.

I don’t know about that. I’d think the level of confidence to required to self-wrench on a 10 year old BWM diesel is on par with the level of confidence you’d find in someone willing to do some research, watch a few YouTube videos and swap out some parts on an EV. As you said, it’s all about assuming safe practices.…

It’s amazing how the leaders of MAGA know how insanely stupid their base is, and how shamelessly they pander to and intentionally foster that ignorance.

Given the number of issues they reported, it sounds like whoever payed $13k for this got screwed.

It’s not on fire, yet.

It was 10+ years ago, the EU declared one standard be used, so the UK would have adopted it before it Brexited

I really love what the designers were trying to do with Cybertruck, it’s really interesting design.

“Can’t park it, fit it on the streets, charge it, get it worked on, or get the software to work, had to give it baby bumpers, and people are constantly pointing and laughing at me.
...
Still love the truck.”
