I don't think so. Looks like rear leaf springs to me.

Ugh... Looks like they are sticking with the all-red trail lights. That makes me sad. If I ever up buying another taco when I get back to the mainland I'm going to have to "fix" the tail lights the same way I had to with my 2020.

That’s changing. Texas’ urban population keeps growing, as do their blue areas. 

I think I'll just keep pirating everything I watch instead. No commercials, no subscriptions, no buffering.

Agreed on all points

All unlikely to happen any time soon, mostly because it's incredibly expensive and a great way to price renters out of those apartments, and there are bigger issues between landlords and renters that should probably be addressed first.

Of course. Even if the poor’s could afford to buy an EV, why would they if they live in an apartment or are renting a home and can’t install a home charger? It’s not just an issue for the lower income areas though. Even though I own the condo I live in I still won’t buy an EV simply because I can’t charge it in my…

Can’t get it with a long roof and I'm not blowing more than double that on an RS6 Avant, so nah, I'm out.

Cool story...

Good job, NYC. I wasn’t expecting it, but you’ve impressed me. 

Bring this to every major city.

Here’s when you gotta consider hypothetical statistics. How often do you make these trips, and what percentage of your total annual mileage comes from these trips. Take that out to the broader picture, not counting long-haul trucking because that’s a special case for obvious reasons, what percentage of the average…

Just going to have to disagree there, bud. I believe it is simpler, deletes the current inadequate gas tax that hasn’t been updated in decades, treats ICE and EV as equals (with regard to the damage they do to the infrastructure) and doesn’t require any Rube Goldberg bullshit like sub-metering home chargers, requiring…

It’s a surprisingly good transmission too. Now if only they would fix the design flaws, like a shit advanced cruise control that you cannot permanently bypass (you instead have to bypass it every time you start the truck), tag lights that blind the backup camera, and no amber rear turn signals.

Sure it is. Instead of every gas station across the country collecting and sending in tax money you just have the DMVs handle it once a year. Seems pretty simple and easy to me.

That idea circles back to issues implementing it both on public chargers and home chargers, from multiple manufacturers and requires Internet access. Much easier to implement at the DMV. The annual lump sum is a fair concern, but could easily be turned into a monthly payment for the previous year or for the expected…

Doing a consumption tax on EVs is also more complicated to implement, more expensive to manage, a greater invasion of privacy, and the increased accuracy wouldn’t offset those attributes. If anything, charge commercial vehicles more per mile since they will be more likely to haul a greater percentage of their GMVW, or…

You’re always going to have that guy. Their activities represent a tiny fraction of the populous, so I wouldn't worry too much about them.

Just go by manufacturer specs. Even modified off road wannabe brodozers are not significantly heavier than the stock vehicle. This doesn't need to be complicated.

Lol I'm one of them. I also happen to be an enterprise IT guy that dabbles in cyber security so I have extra reasons to be paranoid. I think an annual Odo reading is a fair compromise between having a functional system and privacy.
