Apparently one bad performance, a performance that has little to do with the actual job, is enough to get him fired? Yes, yes, I know, he’s stumbled, he’s not perfect, but is anyone? I find the whole response to be sus as hell, and more than a bit racist. One debate and their willing to dump him? This sounds more like a paid attack on Biden fronted by sell out Democrats than a real response. And the rather noticeable lack of suggesting the VP, a black woman, takes over sounds more than a little bit racist. Why not bring Harris up? Give her a bigger more visible role in the administration and the campaign? Show whether or not she’s up for the job? Essential let the American people test drive her as a president.

This, and it’s a really smart decision for both, VW has been struggling on the software side, and Rivian is already offering custom software solutions to fleet buyers of their step vans, so now their software people get more work, and Rivian gets more money.

I’m not real sure how she is on policies, I rarely see anything about her in the news, but even if she’s not great now, the bigger question is can she learn, and this would be a good proving ground for that.

While I am concerned with Biden’s performance, but a debate really has little to do with his actual job, so I’m not real worried about his performance. That said, it prolly wouldn’t be a bad idea to get her more involved, let her flex her skills in front of voters and such, that way if he does need to step down before or after the election, the voters know his replacement already, and what she can do.

Do remember that those were designed from the start to have active cooling, the Leaf wasn’t, in fact it’s a great example of a lack of foresight between the lack of active cooling and the Chademo plug.

What’s the difference between pedantic and accurate? Mine was good enough, and yours was accurate.

Cost isn’t the only factor to adding a cooling loop, there’s a good chance that they’d have to make room in the pack for the cooling system, which means either a bigger pack or a less powerful pack. As to cost, have to engineer the radiating, plumbing, plumbing mounting, computer controls for the cooling system, and of course the radiator needs good airflow which might require a redesign of the front end, and the charger port is there, so that might need moving which requires more engineering. It snowballs easily.

I actually agree, we leased our Leaf because we wanted an inexpensive electric car, and this was at the height of the Bolt battery mess, so that really only left the Leaf, but we weren’t dumb enough to buy it, use it during it’s best years, then give it back and let it be someone else’s problem.

Possible, unlikely though below the level that would make any ICE vehicle an insurance write off too, so no real reason to worry about that unless you plan on regularly driving through flooded roads

I think much of the Leaf’s lack of innovation was due to price, the goal was for it to be an everyday car in looks, operation and price, and that last one means it’d never be very profitable, at least not for a long time, so updates just weren’t feasible. A good question is how does the Arriya compare to other brands EVs, since that’s their newest most modern vehicle.

Not real surprising, as I understand, all their electric vehicles are basically variants on the same vehicle, whether you’re talking a BrightDrop van, Silverado electric, Equinox EV or the upcoming Bolt, economies of scale and all that.

With the catalog of products they have to base it on, I have no doubts they can do it, but I do have doubts to reliability and Jeepness, it’ll prolly just be another cheap electric crossover that could be mistaken for any other out there

Whoops, fixed that

Could I get a practical truck? I’m a courier, I need seating for one, good cargo capacity and good range. I’d buy a Maverick if’n they offered it in a extended cab, I mean with how many plants make that chassis, I can’t see why they can’t offer an extended cab targeted at the business market.

Especially as it’s easy to do on the desktop

Try a reboot afterwards?

See other comments, you accept through the notification. I’ve been around Android since before that was something you could do, so I tend to forget about it. Now if only I could get NTFY to stop notifying me that it’s running…

Nothing really, having it installed is really a habit from my desktop where there isn’t an app.

Slaps his forehead, “Doh, forgot you can do such a thing, thanks.”

Don’t really know, hit something about it elsewhere, but it didn’t say anything more than that, but yeah, that seems to be the gist of things.

I think the reason is because apparently a lot of people are unhappy with a deal Nix inked apparently with a company that does business with the US’ Immigrations and Customs
