Received my copy today. 4 articles, all negative charging experience slanted. One Editor's Letter, one Rivian, two different Fort Lightening models. Of course dumb driver or deliberate run out of battery and few and non-functioning chargers involved. Not to overlook the driver pulling and breaking a cord designed to open a fueling access flap in case of battery incapable. And I didn't even count the story involving a race pit stop fiasco involving a wining Ferrari LeMans hybrid.
a lot of complaints about broken chargers over in the bolt forums. if you're gonna drive ev long distance, you better put on your adult diaper
When I had the Leaf, pulling up to a down charging station was like an instant heart attack and nightmare at the same time. What was worse were the two times I had planned to charge next to a mall so my wife could have something to do for the next 4 hours only to find out the mall was closed.
A closed mall? Who would have thought of that? Did you tell her to use her phone to browse on Amazon? Mike
"Ya honey. On our 700 mile trip in a 70 mile Leaf, when we pull over to charge, just browse Amazon. That will make it go by fast."
Same rag claims Corvette SUV in the works and fabricated phony pic. Met w Josh Holder (Chief manager/engineer) and he says that was never a discussion. He didn't like my ideas about an offset cylinder/crank relationship. CEO didn't care for it either. I sent an email to Tadge. Ignore the rags. They ubiquitously promote anything they didn't pay for(for fear they won't get more free cars to review). And the writers are the college flunkies who couldn't get employed in the field.
Curious, Sandy Munro and Associates are my 'go to' source. Their reviews go down to the nuts and bolts. Bob Wilson
And in more negative press, lots of TV pictures of a Model S burning on the main road to the Raleigh airport. Of course if it was gas it would be ignored.
