Or so you think. Faster acceleration combined with retarded driving habits is gonna be sweet.
I had a rental Mitsubishi Mirage in Colorado once, on the drive from Denver to Breckenridge it couldn't break 45mph wide open throttle.
Just like the tesla sedans.
Does it really get 80 miles on a full charge?The Fiat was a pure commuter, and I seldom used chargers that weren’t at my home. With an 80 mile range, utility was very compromised but it was fine for my use.
Why? I don't want you boring normies to like the same cars I dolol true! TheDan will be along shortly to kick your ass. And maybe mine
Not unless regulations change. They need the small cars to offset the Gladiators. They could probably replace the 500 line with the Renegade, tho. It'll be getting their new 1.3L soon. The Renegade is the same car as the 500L and 500X anyways...Fiat will be gone soon.

This would be the type of electric vehicle I'd want. I don't think a pure EV would ever work for me. I think a pickup with electric traction motors and a generator would be the ideal setup.The onboard gasoline engine has no* physical connection to the drivetrain, much like a locomotive. Gas engine runs a generator, which charges the batteries, which drive an electric motor. It can start and stop at will in response to demand.
It's going to be interesting when someone develops an open source, blank-page operating system and software to install on Tesla vehicles. It might be limited in functionality but you know someone is working on it right now. People will try it and some will fail. They'll learn that bricking a phone is one thing but bricking a car is quite another and I doubt Tesla will be helpful to those folks.I think Tesla might actually be breaking the law in their attempts to prevent people from working on their own cars.
After a lot of shopping and fantasy I'm realizing......
EVs are alluring and sexy.
Trucks are practical.
I'm going to look at trucks tomorrow after work.
I'm surprised it's not on sourceforge already.It's going to be interesting when someone develops an open source, blank-page operating system and software to install on Tesla vehicles.
That's exactly the way EVs feel...And, yeah, in the previous sentence I just treated a car like a disposable electronic gadget.
TESLA IS BANKRUPT, math challenged assholeHows that IBM typewriter working for you, grandpa? You still using a rotary phone or have you switched to touch tone? Where do you get the ice for your icebox?
This made me smile earlier:OK, I'm grumpy this morning, I guess.
Altitude sickness?I had a rental Mitsubishi Mirage in Colorado once, on the drive from Denver to Breckenridge it couldn't break 45mph wide open throttle.
The proprietary nature of the systems is a problem as well. I think Tesla might actually be breaking the law in their attempts to prevent people from working on their own cars. It seems like we are headed for a future where cars are treated like a subscription service and you don't actually own the car you buy.
