Clear back in 2016 BMW had a cool ready to go solution for solar with used batteries charge station for the home. Supposedly a bunch of them working in San Francisco. Who knows where that went. But if theres a place to be able to reuse old EV batteries and charge for free that sounds like a deal...

Too bad those headlights are so polarizing for people. Personally I like them, makes the car stand out from the others. But my wife hates them.…ugh so theres that. This car is a solid second choice for me, if for some reason I don’t go with the Scout. Have to say if the Scout interior actually...

You’ve got to be kidding 😂. They’ve been “right around the corner” for production for 20 years. I think they’ve fleeced more suckers than Elio did with his 3-wheeled scam. Id bet anyone $100 bucks there will never be a production Aptera. All those guys are cousins of Fisker I think. They should...

Just to give you an idea of how little electron fill-up you get with the sun, here a pic I took in my Fisker after 2-1/2 years of driving with its solar panel roof. Admittedly the first 1-1/2 years it got parked in my nice shady garage when I was home, but after I got my Defender it has sat...

Personally, I’m in no matter what (If the reports are in that it’s everything it’s supposed to be). I’ve done the dealership things dozens of times and also the direct to customer deal with buying my Fisker. So I’ve seen both sides of the coin. With the Fisker it was pretty cool having techs...

TAKE MY MONEY PLEASE. This is the exact Scout I want 😍

Not sure where 2026 came from, Scout states 2027. Says so right on their website. Which BTW has changed a bit from the last time I visited. I thought they’ve been saying late 2027, which sounds right if everything happens in a perfect world. Gut feeling says early 2028 (at least getting MY...

Using Jaguar as an example, the F-Pace took 3.5 years to go from an idea to a reality. The configurator for that car came online about 10 months before the first deliveries. I stumbled upon it when researching sporty SUVs for the wife when it first came online. And it wasn’t all there yet as far...

Just today I had to go across town to buy 5 lengths of 10’ Superstrut. Lots of traffic too. Using my Fisker was so convenient with the roll down back window and no gas used. I could easily carry 12’ if I wanted. If I would have had to use my Promaster, well that would have definitely cost me a...

Likewise. The tax credit is just icing on the cake if it were to happen but I’m pretty much not planning on it. When I got my Fisker, I ended up owing no taxes, so the tax credit didnt mean squat- I can’t deduct $7500 from $0 😕. Anyway, you only live once-if it turns out to be as cool as we...

Absolutely agree. Having a back window that can roll down in my lowly Fisker is awesome. I can go to the lumber store and easily carry a 10’ long board or many boards sticking out the back so I don’t have to take my stinkin van. That is one thing my Fisker has over my Defender…😕.

Ah, by your post, I realized that the color pie charts (on page 1) are updated daily - I didn’t know that. I’m surprised that only 16% are going for the EV only. Rumor has it that Chris Stapleton is going full BEV.

More power to them. I hope they make some nice warm sounds. Sampling technology has been around for decades. There’s no reason why more cars can’t do this, it’s very easy. The sounds that my Defender has for chimes and warnings are downright goofy sounding, and can’t come close to matching the...

Ugh - Hard pass. Fuuuuuggglllyyyyy

The one thing that I can’t understand is the need for so much power and speed. They say there will be an off road version. Do people over 30 really whomp the juice pedal and use those 0 to warp speed velocities? Ive never been a pedal to the metal guy unless passing the annoying Prius or...
