The electric life... nothing like it. Vehicles always fueled, never have to visit another gas station again. Powered by the sun. Instant torque and smooth as glass driving experience that puts the best most expensive V8'S to pure shame.

I ain't going back, you can't pay me enough

Nice fleet





B58 + 🔌 + ZF 8 speed = 🧈

💀

454 miles remaining after traveling 208 miles since last refuel. Toggling between 🔋 & ⛽️

Not bad in the wild. Previously not sold in Canada as side for QC/BC….until the Telsa tariff debacle.

It looks pretty good. J1772 + NACS combo is a bit odd though

Nissan's new wave of products have been shaping up really good, Leaf is no exception. But it might be too late to save them from death's door.

Ev4 sedan is pretty ugly. Funky back does provide better range than hatchback though.



And that article is terrible, lol. Read like a paid advertisement.

How TF didn't Ford engineers think of this scenario? It's so obvious.
According to Ford, if the 12V battery discharges unexpectedly—particularly below 8.4 volts—while the vehicle is off, the front door electronic latches may retain their last lock or unlock status. This means if a driver or front passenger exits using the mechanical interior release and then closes the door, it may remain locked with no way to open it from outside.

"fixed" via software update but requires a dealer visit. Latch should STAY unlocked when using the manual release until it is locked electronically.

no way to open it from outside!? have had the 12v dead on our gv60 unfortunately, but dealer replaced the battery. anyway, it can be unlocked from outside with a spare key they give you in a lock behind the flush door handle. works fine. could then open the hood, jump the car, and get it where it needed to be.
