I would wholeheartedly agree with you if this thing was actually low price. The new base Leaf may actually come in CHEAPER than the Truck. And you’d at least have somewhere to have it serviced. All I’m saying is that I’m unwilling to give them slack when the product is still comparable in price...

Exactly.

I agree. My ONLY qualm is that if I'm going to be doing warranty work, I should be compensated at the standard technician rate using the standard repair time for a given repair. This is something I'm intimately familiar with. I would never expect any other automaker to outsource warranty work to...

This seems like a far more complicated approach vs. an EREV. At least with the EREV you can operate a peak efficiency, instead of variable RPMs. Plus you have to add a transaxle in this setup.

...yes? This feels like a trick question. Where else should pedestrians be walking if not the cross walk?

What an asinine comment lol

Yup. My point is that increasing length + width but maintaining the same height would result in some goofy proportions. By continuing to increase track width and length, the designers almost inevitably have to increase the height to maintain the same shape. What results is a comically tall...

Are they? The 2025 Silverado scored "Marginal" for it's front overlap tests, while the 2020 Honda Fit scored "Good". Seems like the lil Honda with the small hood did better. I think it would be more accurate to say that the larger, tall, square hood is to increase the vehicle's footprint in...

For now, right? That's until the next administration comes in and decides to enforce it again. A company that doesn't plan for the future probably doesn't make it very far

:puke:

I frequent Electrek & InsideEVs as well, though they have their own weird biases and quirks. Otherwise I just check the /r/electricvehicle sub on Reddit.

Funny, as that seems like such a non-issue to me. Many front or rear bumpers can be removed without needing to pop the hood or trunk. Some screws and clips and boom, they're off. Foglights on many cars are held in by two screws, directly accessible from the front. Roof rails are mounted...

It irks me that the EV still has the massive American-truck style nose. If it was priced right though, I could see it being a hit. The single cab with the 6' bed looks good

I'd be quite interested in the RWD R3. Not sure I'm willing to wait long enough for the eventual disappointment at the price however

Thanks Pythagoras!
