I wonder also if the skinny LRR type tires on most EVs means that less rubber is carrying more weight, and thus, more tire dust or microparticulate or whatever we're calling this latest outrage. other than asbestos, I had not heard of a brake dust outrage, so I'll add that one on the list of...

an "event parking" sign is usually a clue to me that the public parking that's normally $10/day is now $20/hr. :) If someone figured out how to make meters do this fairly (no sneakiness, very clear rates posted on the thing) I'd be in favor, and think it clever. I feel like toll roads already...

Barons are pretty darn nose-heavy (even three-up), the fall-through you're imagining would need me to stack gold bricks behind the third row seats. And in that configuration, taxiing would have been difficult since it'd be dragging its tail around like an unclean dog. :D

I don't see how a power-on stall goes wrong enough to down a Baron though, unless you're doing them full power (which is a helicopter simulation) AND an engine lunches at that magic moment causing a spin. Recovery from just the stall is basically "pull back less hard on the yoke"

I wonder if the county ever used "lead" as their reason for taking over. Now they have what they wanted and are blocking progress? GAMI may have a case if they were sold a bill of lies, acted, succeeded, and are now left holding a bag. It would be an amusing case to request Santa Clara county...

I'd think RHV and E16 alone could consume a few tankers a week of 100LL-substitute. How much is an enticement for these blenders? I thought the magic was anyone could blend the stuff anywhere in any amount.

One way more satisfying than the other, guaranteed, though.

Today I learned. Weird that it's approvable on the 225hp debs but not the mice. Edit -- that was an interesting little rabbit-hole...

So run mogas.

I can't even fathom the looks I'd fetch when I rock up to a prebuy in an EQS and start unloading my oily meyer jacks and HFT air compressor :D I had hoped that a Lyriq, being something nobody has ever heard of, might be stealth enough to justify.

Surely a car dealer's brochure would never lie? :D

Anyone know anything about the Lyriq? I've only seen one in the wild, and while I'm stalled by analysis paralysis in the market for a 3-row ICE, I wonder if I could make that work as a 2-row EV instead. It looks similar in size to my Outback, or maybe a pinch smaller. Super Cruise is very...

Yeah I dunno. I secretly think the wall-mount ones are just a portable EVSE in a square box with a $200 higher price. Possibly Amazon has turned me cynical about all consumer products these days. I don't know how to suss out the durability/repairability differences (and I have an app for my car...

I have never been able to figure out the difference between a "portable" EVSE and a wall-mount one. We just have a "portable" one plugged into a 40A outlet in our garage and we routed the cord to be out of the way. The thing we can't live without now is this little dude on the wall to put the...

We do need a catchy EV equivalent of "Car-B-Que" so these slurs can land with style :)

oof. Shots fired.

There is no bus. There is an approval to have a bus. You can pay $money dollars ($1200 for my ticket) for your fare to board the approved bus when or if it may appear. There is no bus, nor talk of when a bus may appear, nor talk of why the bus is nowhere to be found yet. Until proven otherwise...

I looked into this for MX not CA, but IIRC my carrier wanted me to just amend my current policy for the higher limit. Is that not possible (or economical) in this dark insurance climate? I don't think a policy amendment would carry the same "minimum earned premium" trap as cancelling the whole...

Kudos for evaluating it in the deep freeze when EVs are at their worst. Seems like you're into it eyes wide open. :)
