From the dealership to immediately getting X-Ice tires installed. No fancy pics yet:
Im guessing its aimed at city drivers that never drive more than like 30 miles a day. Same with the Honda E and similar cars.
Or people like me that have multiple cars and would just use an electric for daily commuting
Yeah, heat pumps should be standard. Easy the cost and just make it standard. Beats having thousands of angry customers.
I just want a station wagon, not a stupid truck. Gotta wait for VW to make one it seems.
I wish Subaru was interested in making EV's. An all wheel drive electric version of the Outback or Forester would be freaking sweet.

That'd be sweet. I guess they'll rely on Toyota EV-wise.I wish Subaru was interested in making EV's. An all wheel drive electric version of the Outback or Forester would be freaking sweet.
I wish my closest tesla store had a SR+ that I could test drive. When I went a while back they only had a performance module which was insane... And definitely something I can't afford. Just want to see if the SR+ would be enough for me
You could always test the performance and put it into "chill mode", which might give some idea although I think chill mode would be much slower 0 to 60 than the SR+, as it throttles rapid acceleration for snow driving etc. so if it's enough for you then the SR+ certainly would be.
Not even related to speed but I'd want to see how the partial premium interior is (ex sound system) and stuff are. The only thing I can think of is renting one for a day but to spend however much just for a little test drive seems wasteful to me.
Oh gotcha. Yeah if you live near a city or somewhere populated there's lots of Tesla owners clubs that have EV meet-ups and awareness events, might be worth looking into reaching out to... They are more than happy to give test rides, walk throughs etc usually
anyone have any experience with the Hundai Kona EV? From my limited research it seems to be the longest range behind the Model 3.
Transit bus manufacturer New Flyer sent an electric Transit bus to my city, Baltimore, for testing, this is New Flyer's Xcelsior Charge electric Transit bus:
The Maryland General Assembly currently has a bill crossfiled in both the Maryland House and Maryland Senate that if enacted would mandate the public transit agency for the Baltimore metro area (Maryland Department of Transportation's Maryland Transit Administration) to only order electric Transit buses.
Maryland House Bill 432 - "Maryland Transit Administration - Conversion to Electric Buses (Electric Bus Transition Act)":
Corresponding Maryland Senate Bill 423 -"Maryland Transit Administration - Conversion to Electric Buses (Electric Bus Transition Act)"
Rumors from reliable sources: VW Group CEO Herbert Diess to loose his Job initiated by the Porsche family. Porsche CEO Blume to be promoted as new VW Group CEO We will see if thats just a rumor spread from several people or turns out to be true.
That's actually not great news for VW. Deiss seemed to really understand the ways the market is changing, didn't he?
It would be hilarious if Tesla hired him to run the Gigafactory in Germany, LOL!
Was he 100% all in on EVs?
I don't understand the impact here.
I like Rivian a lot, but that 4.5' bed would make things difficult for my needs. Plus it's a lot more expensive than Cybertruck.
Do we have any more news of the ID.3?
The Model 3 here costs almost 50k and seems out of reach for a "cheap" EV. Extremely interested in the Honda E and the ID.3, but VW just seems to be dragging their feet in their EV forray.
I like the concept of Rivian a lot and I hope they are successful. That said, we've seen nothing yet of an actual product that is going to prove viability yet.
I also wonder if, given the massive orders they have from Amazon for an electric van, they're going to be releasing the pickup and SUV any time soon. That's going to take a lot of effort and resources.
What's the price?I like Rivian a lot, but that 4.5' bed would make things difficult for my needs. Plus it's a lot more expensive than Cybertruck.
currently it starts at 69k but they recently said that it will be cheaper, but they haven't said.

the one thing they do have going for them is they still get the 7500 dollar credit.
im not saying a direct price comparison.Even if it's $65,000 - $7,500 = $57,500. The Cyber Truck is $39,900 for the similar spec. And Rivian hasn't established the supercharger network, and ecosystem. It's gonna be rough. Would love to see another EV company be competitive though.
im not saying a direct price comparison.
also the tax credit doesn't work like that. For someone like me, its beneficial to get the tax credit because we typically owe at the end of the year, so the tax credit takes care of that.
I wish the Cyber truck was the middle of this year. I'd consolidate to one vehicle and push my home owners association to figure out a solution for us Townhome owners without garages. Not sure if the model y is enough for me to go through the hassle.They have been quoted at $69,000 for the base model with 230 miles of range. Which they state won't be available at release and will be the $100,000+ first.
However, the Ford partners' interest in selling the Mustang Mach-E has so far been manageable: According to the Ford Partner Association, only around 20 percent of all Ford partners have signed the corresponding side letter, which was approved in November 2019. For Fabio Krause, managing director of the Ford partner association, this is not a surprise: "Since the only purely electric model from Ford has been the Mustang Mach-E so far, many companies do not yet see the economic benefit for themselves, especially as the margin for it Cars are set too low from a retail perspective and are under massive criticism, "he emphasizes.
The Ford Partner Association had been able to significantly reduce the electrical standards originally required by the manufacturer in terms of retail: Instead of two 22 kWh charging stations, only two 11 kWh charging stations are required. "In addition, we were able to give dealers the freedom to choose whether or not to take on the residual value risk for the partially and fully electrified models in leasing transactions," comments Johann Gesthuysen, President of the Ford Partner Association.
ridiculous. my mid range model 3 is capped at 31mi/hr of charge. Which when you do the math it works out to 7kwh max charge. Other tesla's can go to 80amps, mine is 30. So in essence tesla will be able to charge faster at home than Fords chargers at their dealerships?Ooph x2
Ford: Geringes Interesse am Mustang-Mach-E-Vertrieb
Lediglich 20 Prozent der deutschen Ford-Partner haben bislang die Vertriebsvereinbarung für Fords ersten Stromer unterzeichnet. Das hat vor allem einen Grund.translate.google.com

which will defeat the purpose cause charging a car even up from half will take 3 or so hours
