Amazon has them all over. They would almost work for an RV but the range is pretty bad.
Apparently the R1T is sealed. At least they don't catch fire.

Huh. 2753 lbs payload on the little one is almost useful, but at $88k I’ll pass.
What a god damned hunk of shit.

"We’ve reported three such issues just in the past week. In one, the Cybertruck owner says that he was locked out of his truck for three weeks, unable to open the door after it got bricked for the second time.
In another story, we covered a man who says he still loves his Cybertruck despite Tesla failing to fix the issue with his truck after eight separate service visits over five months.
We’ve also reported that Tesla service technicians are awaiting upper management to issue a Cybertruck recall and refresh to address the truck's numerous issues.
A few weeks ago, we also reported about a Cybertruck owner who was left stranded in the middle of the road by his Cybertruck on four different occasions.
Tesla gave this person a brand new Cybertruck; however, the second truck also got bricked. Finally, Elon Musk had to get involved personally, instructing Tesla engineers to drill open the bricked Cybertruck to access the inside."
You totally want one now, huh?What a god damned hunk of shit.

The amount of aftermarket support for the Ford 7.3 Godzilla motor is pretty rad now, it seems it is gaining popularity as Swap motors and grassroots racing motors moving away from the LS platform.

This 2003 Lexus IS 300 is for sale on Cars & Bids! Auction ends October 10 2024.
So I'm test driving the Polestar 2 and likely the Kia EV6 GT (same price) on Saturday. The wife decided the next car should be an EV, so I'm looking. I would much prefer a coupe to a crossover, but here we are at the moment.

Let us know what you think. Highly likely that my next car will be one of these. Starting to hone in on the p2 or C40 from vulvo.2003 Lexus IS 300 - 5-Speed Manual, SportDesign Edition, Limited-Slip Differential

any idea what year he has? There are a bunch of 2021s CPO at the local dealer, but apparently they do not have a heat pump.
Probably a couple of years old at this point, not sure.
Yeah, I can't get over the weird crease on the side of the Ioniq, so it's out. But the base RWD EV6:GT is only $55k (that feels weird to say). I can't see buying an EV until they are more serviceable, but I'm down for a lease that's less than my gas bill in the truck.
I've convinced myself if I can get it cheap enough, I will make room in the garage and buy myself a Stingray project.
She's ready to go now. Yes, I have new carpet to install and would like to finish the dash, and I still gotta cut the stairs.
Jen wants to day trip it before we take it too far. I feel good about it, but I get it. I've touched A LOT since the last time she's been out.
The transmission is the next thing, I think. Before the AC and batteries.

The EV6 is $10k off, so $48k for the GT AWD, damn, that is tempting. I will drive it at 2 on Saturday.
The 3LT (top trim level) convertible is a bit much, I'd be fine with a 1LT (base trim level) coupe. Just saying.
But seriously, that's why my budget is what I currently spend on gas a month. The goal is a push, or better if possible.
