Update :

Battery is fried … “high voltage battery failure”. That’s some shit … 3 month old truck with 4209 miles

I don’t think this is going to end well

My buddies.. F150 threw a "check engine" light and now power is locked at 62% total... app malfuctioned last night etc... showed charge all wrong.

Oooof. That's likely a buy back scenario unless he wants to wait it out

My sons first word is car … runs deep

We’re a long ways off from that, but she’s been liking making a noise that sounds like “agoo” a lot lately. Fun seeing those developments.

Funny enough… in a year or two this would be possible. He does love the bmw roundel though … keeps trying to pick it off

I think my kid would prefer if I drove a cement mixer. He doesn’t care about cars but loves enormous trucks.

My 6 year old cousin said she cannot wait to get her license. My uncle recently got a 2013 x6 i6 diesel (m57) and when we met, she first wanted to show me the car. When my uncle said im going fast, she hands on tight while he goes

In a sea of small econoboxes 1.6 diesels and 80-120 hp, yes. Mostly when she grips the handles tight it was when he had his v6 2010 cayenne. She needs to grow a little more to get into his m6

They ordered the “parts” but they will “likely have to be taken off the assembly line” which is now closed ? 2-3 week eta … so buyback becoming likely indeed

[max225]

Crazy how there could be 2 buy backs in my small immediate circle of friends … oems need to get their shit together

Not to pivot to non-shit cars, but to pivot to non-shit cars... I washed the 86 during a listen-in meeting today. I still the whorange tony the tiger style, this car looks great. I need to do a bit deeper interior detail, but will be taking the for a few trail runs over the next couple of weeks so I'll wait, just did a quick interior spruce.

I also test fitted the seat and it fits just fine in the back seat. It's a pretty easy load in/out as well with the lock in seat, so it'll be a pretty viable solution for the first year. I did squeeze into the front seat with the baby seat behind it... not comfy at all, so it will just be me and the plus optional

Still very practical compared to a Miata, glad I got this thing and even if I need to dump it a year from now, well, I got to enjoy nearly three years at that point and I'll buy an overpriced Civic or something.

The seat fits in the pretty decently as well. The seatback of the driver's seat is basically touching the baby seat where I need to be. For a very long legged person, it would be a squeeze. Plan is to move forward with the existing vehicles and reassess in 12ish months.

So at my company we purchased 50 Silverado EVs. Three were delivered that won’t accept a charge. One of those three caught fire and burned to a crisp this weekend.

Nice! Convertible seats are a bit larger than infant click in ones. But glad to hear it’s usable.
