and they hide behind the environment, like my Evo without a cat pollutes less than a prius just due to the fact I don’t drive it that often. But these people don’t see it that way. It’s cars = bad unless its EV, and oh you’re happy and like cars? You’re the Devil!

There will be blood. 

Hell if we’re talking safety, we might as well throw motorcycles in the mix too 

I can’t comment on the situation at large, other than it sucks. But wanted to say, that’s some great investigative journalism. 👍

People always scoff at me suggesting that bans on selling gas powered new cars will be followed in short order by bans on registering existing gas powered cars but here is your roadmap.

Its weird, when my traction battery runs out of juice, I still somehow have the ability to lock/unlock doors, roll down windows, AND listen to the radio thanks to a separate 12v battery system. It also powers some trivial things like the power steering and brake booster. In fact, I think plans should be legally…

Cadillac service manager here. Awful fking names. Cringeworthy comes to mind when I think of having to use these names with customers. Brings me back to 5th grade French when everyone was putting on their best Pepe Le Pew accent while butchering snobbish sounding French words.

His expression conveys profound confusion and bafflement, but can be interpreted two ways:

Mercedes mentions this has 2 battery packs. I wonder if they are modular and your district is trying to get by with 1 battery

just like voters in the US have the power to change things in the country?

The main reason I’m anti-union is that I believe all workers should have government protections granted to unions. 

I am a fan of unions in general. However, I am not a fan of the extra credit for a union-built vehicle. It should be $12.5 for any EV with defined capabilities (min range, etc.). There also shouldn’t be any income cap on who qualifies. If the goal is to get EVs on the road to mitigate a climate crisis, do that.

Just to be thorough (pushes up glasses):

Can confirm. Brought my Tesla to a car show back when it was new and fairly rare, and was directed to the “imports” section. I explained that it was, in fact, American - made in California - and was then met with a lot of scratching heads, and one comment about “those Jap cars”

I’ve been curious about the 3rd/4th gen F-bodies as EV swap candidates - I’m not even close to an engineer so this might be nonsense, but it seems like the hump in the trunk for the tank/rear axle would be a great place to put the motor itself, and fill the engine bay with batteries (although that wouldn’t be great…

I think putting it up on the stage really kept people from trying enthusing that much to the ford. Youd take maybe two pictures and keep walking. Chevys whole deal felt much more approachable.

Modded Teslas are cool, but I’m here all day for this kind of beautiful blasphemy:

You realize by posting this it makes you seem an imbecile, right?

In the pre-GT3 era the N24H definitely had cooler cars than today. Turbinchen, the E46 M3, the DTM cars, the Raeder Ford GT etc.

When you realize that Dodge is fully committed to the conversion of the ICE performance model into an electrified doppelganger of itself, then this all makes sense.  As to the vulgarity?  I’m definitely a fan.  So sue me.
