If I buy new, I’d go for the Y. As it is right now, used are going $10,000 above new prices out this way. The Model 3 is going for new prices. I have a lead on a well-taken care of 3 that has a good service history (which is currently high on my priority list due to friends with the S and X...

Model 3 calling my name? Behind the wheel view of a demo at Tesla.

My local dealers actually have a fair number of EUVs on the lot, but can’t currently sell them because of the recall. Once batteries come in, they’ll be able to. The chip shortage affects Super Cruise vehicles (I’ve yet to see a Super Cruise EUV). Keep us posted on your experiences with the...

Let’s hope so. This is maybe also a good lesson on battery manufacturers to not cut corners. This recall is costing the joint venture almost $2 Billion, so there’s hoping that LG is doing it right this time.

I was not expecting to see this news this year, let alone this week: https://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2021/sep/0920-bolt.html Cautiously optimistic, though I can’t say I’ll rush right out and get the new cells.

So, through a fun series of events, I have a Model X P100D sitting in the driveway tonight instead of the Bolt. 8-) It’s actually a loaner while my friend has his Tesla worked on. We switched cars for the night on his offer.

Crazy. And it's sad that, as a whole, we're nowhere near even starting to tackle the problem. Iceland did just get a carbon capture plant up and running, but on the stats provided, they could've provided a $10,000 incentive for about 1,200 EVs for the same cost. With how clean Iceland's power...

So, if anyone even knows about this, the LG batteries used by Chevy and Hyundai have two manufacturing defects in them, that (apparently) when both are in the same cell, the cell can internally short out and cause a thermal runaway event after charging. Originally, the recall only affected...

Stopped and took a quick look at one this morning. It was already sold, so I couldn't sit in it, but it's a decently-sized vehicle with a nice looking interior. A little over $41,000 for a Pro model (RWD) with 260 mile range. Looks like they can even option up and get AWD and towing capability...

That's not right. When is someone going to make a CCS-CHAdeMO adapter? I don't know if I'd be gutsy enough to try that. Then again, when I was out there a few years ago, there was a Honda Clarity FCEV at Lake Tahoe. Don't know which one is more of a challenge. Yeah. Every time a high-spec EV...

PSA. If you live in an area with wild rodents, it might be a good idea to ensure you either turn off the HVAC system or leave the recirculator enabled when you park your Bolt. I left my Bolt parked for 2 weeks and apparently the recirculator was open, as a mouse made his way in, soiled, and...

Well, it finally happened. Koorz needed some TLC outside of the usual. I had to replace the front brake pads. It sucked that nobody stocked the pads, but I was able to get them fairly quickly through Napa, and changing them was really easy. I'm guessing that the previous owner didn't keep the...

To be fair, that link was posted here in 2014 :lol: .

All the vents are under the dash. Should be no problem.

Solar is in the roof, rear edge, and dashboard. In the rear corners above the tail lights, those three squares on each side are cells. The ones on the roof blended into the black paint. The one picture looks like there is a license plate. The way the article is written makes it sound like they...

2nd Prototype built and rolling. Looking good in white, which is the color I selected in my reservation. Just hope the color scheme applies to the nose on the production versions. https://www.aptera.us/post/shining-sol?postId=60a1c64f6806c600150f64a6

Yep. No half-gassing here :lol: .

Seconded. If you have a new driver up and coming in the family, hold onto it if you can. It doesn't go fast, doesn't go far, and it is so easy to drive that it's a perfect learning car. Besides, they'll never ask for gas money ;) , while simultaneously learning how to be responsible by not...

This is starting to sound more and more like a battery problem. Do you have an OBDLink and an Android phone? I think we better check the cell voltages in the drive battery.

As far as I know, the van and i both use the same drive system. Here is where myself and others have had to lubricate the gear shifter and position switch. https://www.dropbox.com/s/69fs2f90lieyd17/Shifter%20Lubrication.png?dl=0
