This is one of the reasons Iāve put my $50 down for a Slate. Not just because since the beginning of electric cars Iāve thought there ought to be a simple affordable EV, and not just because Iām a minimalist at heart, but also because I grew up in Detroit and have always had a soft spot in my...
Honestlyā¦look around. How many vehicles have more than one or two people in them? Iāve driven a smart for two for 17 years. Itās a second car, but never an issue needing more than a 2 person car.
If maximum range is an issue it sounds like a person plans on long trips. Honestly, for around town 140 miles is plenty of range. Not many people drive more than that in a day. If you take trips get a gas powered car. Thatās what we have. And Iām interested in the 20/80 charging. Iāve never...
I donāt get it. Why couldnāt a pickup with two passengers (driver and one other person) go on an HOV lane? My wife and I in our car go in them and have never had a question about it. Are some HOV lanes for only 3 or more people?
I grew up in Michigan. I donāt remember anyone ever having anything other than rear wheel drive. Snow, launching boats, etc. Never an issue. Iām actually looking forward to having a rear wheel drive only vehicle again even though I have been a front wheel drive fan for a long time and had one...
I don t care about new design for the sake of new design. Lexus had done pretty well with the RX 350 which hasnāt changed it looks much at all over the years (since at least 2016). But it sells because it is reliable and comfortable. New, better technology is good but simple new design for the...
Since EVs first came out in the past several years (not back around the turn of the century when EVs were as common as CEVs. Really! Look it up. Oil guys killed the first EVs along with infrastructure technology etc) Iāve been waiting for someone to come up with a simple, minimalist WV. This...
I put $100 down and waited a year for one of the first smarts to enter the country. Only drove one around the block once before that. Iāve really enjoyed it for 17 years! Great little car and so easy to park anywhere. Iām going to miss that and would be keeping it. But the Slate looks too...
My son in law was ready to get a Lightening but when he found the range when towing (he pulls a camper) was about 80 miles, he opted for a Chevy Silverado 6.6 V8 and is happy.
