V6, I think turbo charged. Hope you're healing quickly.

Ah. Found the info that the 2.7 V was auto only. The 3.6 is all blackwing models and either manual or auto.

We got stopped at a light behind a cyber truck this week. My wife was horrified by it. Man is that awful from the back. Sides and front too of course.

I hate to profile …. But the guy who has one near my house down the shore doesn’t appear to be a “truck” kinda guy.
I’m fat and tall so I have an excuse for driving a big vehicle lol

-the four wheel steering, plus steer by wire make it feel smaller to drive than my X did.
-Sight lines are indeed weird, but you get used to it pretty quickly.
-Nice ride quality.
-Doors feel like they weigh 1000 pounds.
-This was a dual motor. Plenty quick enough with a 0-60 time in the fours.
-Don't like the stalkless turn signals.
-Backseat was roomy, but smaller than the other full size crew cabs. Which makes sense as it's closer to a midsize in dimensions.
-It basically feels like a Model Y inside.
I asked a service guy if they had any issues with them while I waited. He said the only thing they've seen so far is the wiper motor seems too weak for the ginormous blade it has and they've had to replace quite a few of them. Nothing else yet.

It was at the end of the parking lot at her work getting charged.

With no rounded edges on that thing it looks like Tesla took design cues from a stealth jet.

I suppose it is a memorable experience, like driving an Edsel or Pacer at launch, but without the charm. Still haven't seen one on this side of the mountains, although I hear there's one or two in CdA (surprise surprise).

Wasn’t the same RX 350h as she sent the Monroney for but it has more options for the same price and the wife likes it
It doesn’t sound like your sales lady knows much about the car biz. She has to be a greenpea.

I wonder if Nervine was by the same company that made Mr. Wilson's nerve medicine.
Agreed and they are 21 inch so they are gonna get curbed too
I would have guessed a high alcohol content like Hadacol tonic. Or the tonic that the Sisters liked on John Boy Walton's program.

I’m sure you’re right. But why go half way? A bottle of bourbon would be good for both driver and passenger.

The Cadillac dealer was straight up when I informed the salesman I would be paying with a certified check and in fact informed me that as of the day I came in they had lowered the internet price an additional $500.
The only negative experience I had was when we sat in the car and the salesman contacted OnStar and walked through how to refuse the service for a monthly fee.
The sale was not as pleasant as when we bought our 2008 Saturn Aura XR but overall pretty good. The Saturn was bought at a time when the dealership knew they were going away because of the GM bankruptcy although It was not widely known at the time. Yet even as we were getting $6K off the MSRP they were helpful, professional, and courteous and surprisingly made no attempt to add anything to the price.
We had the Aura 8 years and was flawless except for a GM voluntary extended warranty repair for the waveplate in the transmission.
Pulled up to the fast charger with 15% charge and 140.6 miles on the trip odo. It quickly ramped up to 124kW and I walked around Corydon for a bit longer than I intended. After 25 minutes, it was still pulling 66kW, and I had a 79% charge. I tried to stop the charge, but the EVConnect charger said I needed to authenticate with my phone to stop the charge. Slight problem: there is no option in the app to authenticate with the charger, nor to stop the charge, and the CCS2 fast chargers are locked onto your car until the session is stopped. I called customer support and they were able to send a command to stop the charge, but they said I could have also pressed the emergency stop button. $21.74 for 42.1 kWh of electrons--given its efficiency, roughly the same I'd pay to drive the same distance in the Maverick, assuming premium fuel is $5/gallon.
Arrived home with 60% charge and 172.9 miles on the trip odo. The ride quality of the Ariya is softer than I would prefer, and the glass on the outside mirrors flutters very badly at highway speeds. I think it can be road tripped with some difficulty--probably driving closer to the speed limit and planning DCFC stops about every 100 miles.
Not sure what was up the other night but our EQE wouldn’t charge over 55 KW. Usually well into the 100s on the Electricfy America chargers.
I did have a very spirited drive (guy in a Charger was frisky) so maybe the battery pack was too hot??
I navigated to the charger with the built in NAV as I read when you do that it conditions the battery knowing you are going to charge.

I’m having 240 v line put in the garage next month, should be much cheaper to charge at home.
'24 Chevy Blazer EV 2LT
208 mile stated range on the model I have.
Also, I turned off the “trace control,” which slams on the brakes when cruise is on and it detects the slightest of curves on the interstate. Very annoying when trying to pass someone or trying to drive a consistent speed in general.
If nothing else it has to be a lot more convenient than trying to find a charger that’s not in use.
Trying to find a charger at my convenience is why I won’t own any type of EV car. I’ve been driving way too long to change my driving habits about how to keep my car ready to go when I want it to go.

My wife got called into the office 6 days a month (2 days for 3 weeks)… I may break down and install a charger at home.

That’s one phone call you DO NOT want to get!
Up here, a few days ago the provincial govt announced that all 3500 of their workers who were on work from home status since COVID times and were approved to make it permanent, had that revoked and now need to return to the office at some future date. The outcry is loud, as one might expect. It seems quite arbitrary.
Having said that, as a manager, I always hated WFH. At least back then it wasn’t a 5 days a week thing, and used mostly when someone’s personal situation demanded it. I had to remember that of course and would walk into an office looking for someone, not see them, and only then realize that they were out. Back then the tech was sort of there but it was clunky and flaky so it was a pain. We had offices full of paper and you couldn’t access those either. And I just knew that some people were taking advantage of it and weren’t doing much. Since then systems have improved and the work environment is much more location-independent.
For this group of people I can understand their being upset. Maybe the govt is doing it as an underhanded way of downsizing and hoping some will quit.

I was wondering what excuse you’d need to install one.

'18 Legacy Limited with 3.6R (Mrs. j's)
It’s 17 miles one way. About a half hour going and 40 mins coming home with traffic. $5 bridge toll and $20 parking.
She really wasn’t all that upset. As it was she was already there 2-3 days a month for certain meetings, etc
Biggest change will be next summer since we have been living exclusively at the shore. Initial plan is she will drive up Tuesday morning, stay at our primary Tue night and head back Wed night.

PATCO not an option?
has your wife charged it on her own yet? That trip could be pushing it on range.

My wife had about a week's notice to be in the office 3 days a week. This is her third week back to the office. It is a 25 mile drive which can take 1-1.5 hours and she has to pay for parking $20 early bird. Not happy.

I was thinking more along the lines of @tjc78 doesn't want to get a phone call from his wife that she had to make a few stops on her way home and doesn't think the car will have enough juice in it or that she RAN OUT of juice.
