My car has a top speed of 90mph / 145kph.

But sounds like I could pass a Mach-E above 60mph :v:

Hell yeah, this would be it I think.
Under $6,000 for that thing, and I could just do any and all errands I'd ever need to do and never stop and a gas station for the privilege. :allears:

There's the Kandi range of neighborhood vehicles but they start at $12k!

Yea, any China prices you see online your gonna have to add add at least 30% in the US to cover shipping and customs.

That's likely why it's so much. There is a cool little truck too but I think it was $35k

I'm confused as how this all works but I don't think this is even related to the old DeLorean company or the one that was around for the 90s and so on. Otherwise I like it just fine but I'm gonna file it at vaporware or overpromising for now

This is DeLorean Motors Reimagined though. The Jalopnik article links to another article about it.

How do GM SUVs compare? Unfortunately they seem to just give specs in terms of volume.

Shortly after the release of the GT there was a dude that got rapidly banned from the main Mach-E forum for telling GT buyers that they were all suckers that fell for Ford marketing department prattle.

That dude was right.

Was it you?

the gently caress is an "engine rail"

The frame rail in the engine bay that the subframe attaches to, I believe.

The good news is that only 77 of these defective rails are out there, the bad news is its unknown what vehicles they went onto.

So this problem is with Ford Explorer? But isn't the Maverick on the same platform? Are they made in the same plant on the same line?

No, made in Mexico, but the Lincoln Aviator is made in Chicago and is included on the recall.

it's probably not far off from the unionized VW factory in mexico which only pays like 50c/hr

There have been some strides made this year with new independent unions in GM plants in Silao, for example. I'm not an expert in this so haven't kept up with the latest news but it was good news earlier this year.

The USMCA (replacement of NAFTA), which was mostly the same, did actually have improvements requiring Mexico to allow collective labor movements and (some) fair minimum wages across North America.

USMCA minimum wage for auto workers is $16/hour. Otherwise the companies don’t get the tariff relief.

I believe that only 40% of labor needs to meet that number (Labor Value Content), but again, not an expert. It's complicated.
