Bolt is a terrible name for a car. It fits a motorcycle, in the case of Yamaha, but not a car, and especially not an electric car.

Platystemon posted:Each wheel has at least one electric motor mechanically connected to it, with no way to disconnect, and without the car’s systems energised to manage the flow of electricity, bad things would happen. Is this true? my wife's 2010 Prius manual says to flatbed it only.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Anyone know about any realistic reports for electric pickup trucks or other "haul poo poo around" vehicles? I know about the Workhorse plugin hybrid which I'm hoping will be sold to consumers. But its primary market is fleets. Newswire has an article about a truck called the Havelaar Bison, dual motor, 186 mile range. Autoblog has pics. Havelaar's site

The impression I have of BMWs is that outside of warranty they are a crapshoot as to whether you will have a minimal maintenance DRIVING MACHINE, or a money pit. Does the i3's simplicity make for a much higher chance of long-term reliability, with BMW quality?

Here's a stupid question: Do you call under-the-hood of a FWD electric car the motor bay?

If you can get a 4 door with forward sliding front doors too then we will laugh at every inconsiderate parker!

VideoGameVet posted:A partnership between Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and Ecosystem Japan which aims to promote the use of clean energy to fuel the LEAF is offering new owners the option to get free installation of a home solar array, as well as a discount on an electricity plan called the "Daytime Assist Plan," and can end up owning the solar array after the end of the 20-year contract. This sounds familiar. Aren't there already companies in North America that will do that (unaffiliated with vehicle manufacturers)?

Does the EV train have enough momentum to keep rolling regardless of Tesla? I don't personally give a poo poo about Tesla as a brand, but I feel that they are one of the biggest reasons EV interest is as high as it is right now. If they go under, and Teslas cease to exist, will other automakers continue the roll into full fleet electrification within my lifetime?

ratbert90 posted:Lmbo, my Credit Union denied my loan for 55k, and countered with 30k citing "The last car loan I had was only for $13,000 (I paid half up front) and I only have 4 years of credit history instead of 5." I guess 30 really is the new 20. What's risky about a 32 year old with a well-paying job and good credit?

spandexcajun posted:Serious question for the haters, do you understand how big of a deal this is? This is absolutely correct. People love their Teslas, even though they aren't perfect, because they know exactly what they have. Everyone knows Teslas are not nearly as tidily built as other cars at a similar price point, everyone knows there will be defects, but people still want to buy them because they are cool as all sweet hell. You could buy a Bolt and have a better constructed EV that is arguably just as good in many regards, but you'd be driving a Chevrolet and Chevrolet has decades of mediocrity and malaise behind them. The most vehement Tesla haters really don't get it at all.
