Yes it is an ebike on an e-car. It is the top ‘luxury’ (lol) spec Leaf for that gen 2 model which isn’t actually saying very much. The 360° parking cameras are the best thing it has in real life. We have a good to great fastcharger network here so I can drive wherever I want and in terms of driving it is super smooth, almost “boring” (Mariocart) to drive but it is actually fun to drive it on hard regenerate mode, and the torque off the line beats nearly any car under $150k which is fun in a shallow way. it’s basically 1pedal drive except on very steep roads.
Yeah I get to occasionally set up basic brushed DC stuff and it's pretty cool playing around with the max current, regen and plugging settings, but when contactors start burning out it is less fun.
They are factory. It needs new tyres really soon but I can’t seem to get the much hyped Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 pluses around here.
I have the same annoyance about wood here in NZ. We should have an NZ IKEA equivalent, not just piles of logs going on ships to actual IKEA.
No, Ikea just needs to fuck right off, they started the race to the bottom with their shit disposable furniture. Small furniture factories seem to be getting more common over here which is great, buy quality and replace it when it's dead not when some show on TV says it's not in fashion anymore.

Bought a bed from ikea this year for a guest room. It’s made entirely out of aluminum and is incredibly stout. Couldn’t be further from the idea of disposable. I wanted to buy another, but it’s no longer carried (?) I also have an ikea jerker desk that I’ve had for 20 years... just passed it along last week. It’ll probably go another 20 easy.

Seriously why on Earth are these companies still developing new combustion tech? It is outrageous, seriously. Are these people’s fucking heads up their asses that far? It’s sickening. Idiotic, irresponsible, immoral BS.I could get on board with this.
Lexus IS-F Twin-Turbo V8 Could Be On The Way, Toyota Patent Suggests
A recent Toyota patent for a twin-turbo V8 stokes rumors of a Lexus IS-F, LS-F, and LC-F, as well as a potential Toyota Tundra engine.
For a while, we had a bed from ikea in our guest room. It was all solid wood, no particle board, and significantly better quality than 99% of what you can get from mail order furniture. I agree that flat-pack junk is just that, but I'm not sure that Ikea is the main perpetrator. Plus, even buying from "real" furniture places doesn't guarantee you high quality, hardwood furniture, and the price increase for that can be astronomical.
Because there is no light switch that can be flipped to immediately not use combustion technologies?
it’s a matter of will, and that will isn’t there when there is so much money to be made with the status quo.
A friend of mine made a movie about it like 10 years ago.
it looks like they put K 2SO on the front of their truck...
Will prolly end up as an SUV/crossover.
Already answered in the article I read. Yurp only.Nah, they have a different car for that. Whether we'll ever see the shooting brake in the US, that is a different question.
I wanted to buy one when moving to the US, but my colleagues warned me that it would attract the "wrong kind of girls". They never said anything about women driving El Caminos though.
