I like the burnout

Yup, I was taking a drink while watching the video. Had to clean my monitor and desk off

My wife sent me one of his videos and then I got lost down the rabbit hole. Came across that one

Never sat in an X. An 2014 S was somewhat painful but doable. A 2019 Model 3 was hard no go period. The 2023 Y now is showing 38K miles and coming off a comfortable 7 day cross country 2500 mile road trip.

An X is as easy or easier egress as a Y. The X has power doors, self closing, power opening too. There is an Easter Egg “demo” dance light show of music flashing lights and flapping front and rear doors.

I saw six this past week in my 2500 mile road trip in the Northeast and Midwest. Two were in charging stalls out of the six. They seem to fit inside the standard stalls just fine.

I am sitting on the fence. I am waiting for the new 700-800 mile batteries with a 10-20 charge time.

Toyota plans to have solid-state batteries with a range of up to 750 miles in their vehicles in 2027 or 2028:

• Development: Toyota is working on solid-state batteries that can store enough energy to go 750 miles before needing to recharge.
  
  
  
• Charging: The batteries are expected to be able to recharge in around 10 minutes.
  
  
  
• Production: Toyota plans to start making solid-state batteries in 2027, but initial production numbers will be small.
  
  
  
• Mass production: Toyota plans to ramp up production and achieve mass production by 2030.
  
  
  
• Partnership: Toyota is working with oil refiner Idemitsu Kosan to develop and mass produce the batteries.
  
  
  
• Location: Toyota plans to build solid-state batteries in commercial quantities at its Teiho plant in Japan's Aichi prefecture.
  
  
  
• Impact: Toyota's solid-state batteries could help speed up the transition from fossil-fuelled cars to electric vehicles.
  
  

Toyota's plans for solid-state batteries may have been delayed in the past, so the exact timing of their availability may not be set in stone yet.

New More rugged Ionic 5 XRT debut.


Several people asked for this in a Model Y but no luck.

Setting on the EV fence is perhaps a valid for the 35 age group but at 73 it's about as productive as waiting on death.

I just finished an 8 day 2500 mile EV road trip and can tell you the Tesla Model Y Long Range is tripping ready without much human forethought. I didn't drive our 2016 Nissan Leaf SL because it's designed for local 100+ mile round trips.

I don't know who the "several people" are but looking at the design at the Hyundai, it's fugly.
too many buttons and knobs inside and not clear if there is a frunk.
