What's the difference between pedantic and accurate? Mine was good enough, and yours was accurate.

Cost isn't the only factor to adding a cooling loop, there's a good chance that they'd have to make room in the pack for the cooling system, which means either a bigger pack or a less powerful pack. As to cost, have to engineer the radiating, plumbing, plumbing mounting, computer controls for the cooling system, and of course the radiator needs good airflow which might require a redesign of the front end, and the charger port is there, so that might need moving which requires more engineering. It snowballs easily.

I actually agree, we leased our Leaf because we wanted an inexpensive electric car, and this was at the height of the Bolt battery mess, so that really only left the Leaf, but we weren't dumb enough to buy it, use it during it's best years, then give it back and let it be someone else's problem.

Possible, unlikely though below the level that would make any ICE vehicle an insurance write off too, so no real reason to worry about that unless you plan on regularly driving through flooded roads

I think much of the Leaf's lack of innovation was due to price, the goal was for it to be an everyday car in looks, operation and price, and that last one means it'd never be very profitable, at least not for a long time, so updates just weren't feasible. A good question is how does the Arriya compare to other brands EVs, since that's their newest most modern vehicle.

Not real surprising, as I understand, all their electric vehicles are basically variants on the same vehicle, whether you're talking a BrightDrop van, Silverado electric, Equinox EV or the upcoming Bolt, economies of scale and all that.

With the catalog of products they have to base it on, I have no doubts they can do it, but I do have doubts to reliability and Jeepness, it'll prolly just be another cheap electric crossover that could be mistaken for any other out there

Whoops, fixed that

Could I get a practical truck? I'm a courier, I need seating for one, good cargo capacity and good range. I'd buy a Maverick if'n they offered it in a extended cab, I mean with how many plants make that chassis, I can't see why they can't offer an extended cab targeted at the business market.

Especially as it's easy to do on the desktop

Try a reboot afterwards?

See other comments, you accept through the notification. I've been around Android since before that was something you could do, so I tend to forget about it. Now if only I could get NTFY to stop notifying me that it's running...

Nothing really, having it installed is really a habit from my desktop where there isn't an app.

 

Interesting, you don't usually see unionization at a company like this, since the hiring company will typically just fire the contractor when it happens.
