I bet that is their intention is HVAC on/off is from remote range versus a Tesla which I can turn on the HVAC on from say 2 train stops away from where my car is parked so it is cooled or heated when I arrive. I think most ICEV that have remote start are doing it from within the range of the...

My first car was a 1980 Ford Granada. I believe it had a square key for the door and ignition and a round key for the trunk. That way you could give a valet your square key and they wouldn't have access to your trunk. Now most cars have another means to the trunk with either folding seats...

He said about 250 miles range on the extended battery not 240. Is that new information or just a mis-quote?

How many questions can they cover in a streaming session? They ought to post all the questions they receive online and let reservation holders up vote them. Prioritize the questions with the most votes.

Well to you and I, 2.9/kWh means something but to the lay person probably not. By stating efficiency is a ‘C’ it probably tells a much wider audience that the efficiency of this vehicle is mediocre, not good with a rating of ‘B’ or great with a rating of ‘A’

First outlet I’ve seen with an efficiency rating. It scored a C which I would say is accurate with an estimated efficiency of less than 3 miles per kWh.

I had always assumed the interior of the bed was composite rather than painted steel. Something in this video made me think that perhaps it isn’t a composite. Anyone know for sure?

Tesla's charging motto is the ABCs of charging or 'Always Be Charging'. I didn't heed that advice over the 7.25 year life of my Tesla Model 3 and now my battery SOH is 82%. If the battery deteriorated down to less than 70% SOH in the next 9 months then I would be due a warranty replacement...

Certainly a Kei truck and an oversized box van are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

I would think it would be difficult to have it be regenerative braking without it being regenerative all the time. That would be a lot of extra load on the tow vehicle to have the Slate recharging all the time when it is being towed. I wonder whether they are planning to use an induction motor...

There is different respect for crosswalks in different areas. While visiting Boston I was surprised at how often cars would stop at a crosswalk because I looked like I wanted to cross there. I normally wait until it is clear and then cross when I have the right of way and I am not forcing a...

Per Elon Musk, Grok is the truth seeking AI.

In Georgia it is 4 feet. I have never hauled plywood like this. Always with the tailgate down. Cool that it can sit like that without getting interfered with by wheel wells. If it was thinner plywood, say 1/4 inch, perhaps would have bent badly. I hope the do they Maverick 45 degree position...

So you are saying there is a chance that it is legit?

My guess would be the repair shop wanting the opportunity to do this work.
