To grab a cold beer?

With the exception of seeing them on transport trucks I have yet to catch a Y in the wild on the Peninsula or San Jose areas.

The last time I drove my Leaf was March 14. I charged it to 100% that day and then unplugged it. This thread got me to thinking that I should go take a look at the charge level. I was very surprised/impressed to see that the battery charge is now at 99%.

However, with a resistance heater you still need a blower running so it's less than 100% conversion of energy to heat from a system standpoint. Maybe getting the heat from retarding the blower motor ends up being slightly more efficient overall?

It's probably for the best that Nissan doesn't allow this. It would be very very annoying to be waiting for a Chademo charger to open up and the vehicle getting charged was doing some sort of slow charge.

My name is Carlos and I'm from San Jeff. Or it could be the other way around ;)

Unfortunately the ID.3 isn't planned on being sold in the US. Since all we seem to buy is "crossovers" and SUVs VW is going to wait and sell the Crozz in the US market. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a27404958/volkswagen-id-3-ev-confirmed/

The Highway Code says: “Hazard warning lights. These may be used when your vehicle is stationary, to warn that it is temporarily obstructing traffic. Never use them as an excuse for dangerous or illegal parking. You MUST NOT use hazard warning lights while driving or being towed unless you are...

How much honking did you have to do to blow the fuse? TIA

I'm fairly certain there are other examples of companies charging what the market will bear rather than basing it solely on costs of goods.

Nor my old Prius or Volt.

I'm also ok having EVs pay some sort of road tax (didn't know that CA was implementing it next year), but in a way it's double taxation. EV drivers are already paying utility taxes for their "fuel", it's just that those monies aren't allocated specifically for roads. In my perfect world road...

For me it would be entertaining for about an hour and then never used again. Kind of like the manual feature of the Tiptronic transmission on my old Audi.

Not sure if those are the same cars as Culver Blvd. is in LA and (according to the linked thread) the Glovis Captain left out of San Francisco.

Yep, that's still the case. I looked into leasing a 3 but since that wasn't available got the Leaf instead.

I'm very happy with the steering wheel, it doesn't seem to big for me. It took about 2 weeks to get used to the buttons and now I rarely have to look at them. It's my first car with a flat bottom wheel and I like how it gives a quick registration feel when backing up while parallel parking.

Thanks for that link. It's nice to see an official brochure that confirms the 8yr warranty and also has all the other info for this model. This looks like a great option for my parents next car.

I tried to find that spec sheet in the Kona forum but didn't have any luck. There are multiple sites (like this one: https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/278964-2019-hyundai-kona-ev-tesla-like-range-for-about-30000-after-tax-credits) reporting that the Kona will be coming with a...
