National, Enterprise, Budget, Sixt, and probably some others have long term rental rates (by the month) that are not far from the price of a lease. The good thing about those is you can end them when you are ready or extend it if you need to. I rented a car for three months from National a...

Do we know if they have NACS ports behind the charger doors?

Do we know when the agreement with Tesla to use NACS starts?

I'll be camping so have to miss this one. Hopefully I can make the next.

A couple of years ago we were driving from Washington to Arizona and had our dogs in the back seat of our Ram Power Wagon. The back seat was leather with millions of tiny holes to match the front seats which had cooling. We drove through a Starbucks and my wife decided to try a "Puppychino"...

In the Phoenix metro area we have a lot of Waymo self driving cars. When one of them is next to me and I look at all the spinning radars and lidars and sonars and other sensors all over the exterior of those electric Jaguars, I wonder how it is that Tesla can supposedly accomplish essentially...

Pressing park on the stalk is the emergency brake. It doesn't harm anything like it might in an ICE with an automatic transmission where putting it in park is using the transmission to stop turning the output shaft. In the Lucid, its no different than slamming on the brakes. Of course...

Less than half the 10,000 Fisker Oceans built were delivered. I suspect that if you exclude car enthusiasts, most people have never heard of the Fisker Ocean. Compare that to the ~1.8 million Corvairs sold over its lifetime.

I don't get all the hate at having to back into Tesla chargers. Unless the charger is designed as drive-through charging, you'll have to back-out one way or another (i.e. either when you arrive at the site or when you leave the site). In some ways, backing into the site is easier than backing...

Crap -- I guess wrist weights will soon be illegal in California.

Pretty much, the Acura was pretty sporty for an SUV too.

I've owned five land cruisers, a sequoia, a bunch of pick-up trucks, and a host of other SUVs (MB GL500, Mitsubishi Montero, Isuzu Trooper, Ineos Grenadier, Land Rover Defender 110 (the original version), Chevy S-10 blazer, and an Acura MDX) and have rented countless others - the Gravity...

Yeah how much added cost and weight are people carrying to be able to deal with the rare event?

I think the concept of "right sizing" the battery for the majority of a person's use habits makes a lot of sense with today's battery technology and cost. According to Google AI, the average American drives only 13,596 miles a year, so about 30 miles a day. Yet 200+ miles seems to be the...

I'm not sure what the color is officially called. I should have asked but didn't.

This is the first vehicle I've ever driven with a square steering wheel and having my first drive be on an autocross course would normally have highlighted any issues with the steering wheel. It didn't, I jumped in the Gravity, buckled-up, got a quick explanation of the course, and was off...

As for tall people wondering about the Gravity, I'm 6'2 and with the racing helmet on I had to contort myself getting into the Air. Getting into the Gravity was zero problem.

Surprisingly similar. The added weight and height was barely noticeable.

Sadly that was all I got.

It was an event focusing on lawmaking and public policy.
