Well, at this point, if American manufacturers don’t keep up 80% of the world will be driving BYDs in 10 years. Economic competitiveness, if not dominance, is national security. An EV isn’t practical for me yet but I expect it will be one day. Maybe my 200 Series will be worth even more by then!!
Those sorts of polls are only so helpful. If the dynamic on the ground were different, the data the poll collected would be different. The dynamics are shifting every day - charging infrastructure, financing, tech, range, and on and on. One more charging station on Family X’s vacation route or...
I’m sure as solar cell tech advances (along with battery tech), remote charging stations will pop up more, especially if they don’t need to be connected to a grid. It Hornsdale, AUS can run off a football field-sized Tesla battery, I’m sure a small bank of chargers can be sustained off something...
Ahhh, lane keep assist, my 2016 does not have that, just the departure warning as you noted. I misread your post.
Not that you asked but I am pleased I don’t have that feature. I had it in a 2018 Subaru I owned for a year and it was quite sensitive. I didn’t realize how often I crossed the...
Don’t know when it started but probably around 2015/16 when they did the facelift and added some other features. My 2016 has it and it’s clutch on long drives. May want to consider an LRA Aux or oversized tank as well if you’ll be putting on the miles, mine is a godsend.
I’m not in a hurry. I have no doubt the technology will get there. It would’ve been great if I could’ve stuffed my landline phone in my pocket in 1991 and made calls away from home. We got to that eventually.
I expect you’re right, but I also think that if range was substantially more people would pay more. It would take 750mi/range to get me into an R1S today because of where I live and because we tow a small trailer for camping. I think the truck is great and I believe the company is on the right...
I’d advise against any purchased from Wits’ End. Head over to Mud, there are a dozen threads about how his business has collapsed and he has not delivered on many many thousands of dollars worth of orders, all while his site is still up and seemingly accepting payment for orders. He’s been...
This is actually what I decided on in the end. All this newfangled technology with batteries and electricity and buttons, no thanks. My arms are compressors and the only fuel they need is red meat.

Price drop to $225.
That’s four high quality spacers in excellent condition for less than the price of a new pair. Shipping still free.

Would be nice if you could program those things for each driver the way one can program and save a custom seat position for different drivers

Vehicles should be fully autonomous for those that can’t drive them safely or be without most of the safety features. I have found that a backup cam and blind spot detection are both very helpful. I’ve never had an accident, before them or since, but it aids my awareness rather than negatively...
