How about this paragon of virtue, the British Mini Moke, the gas tank and filler were right next to the driver. …..at least you could fall out of the car after a major impact LOL  

Yea, it's both haha. 😄   The original taillight "bulbs" for 2006+ Mountaineer were Osram Sylvania Joule lambertian LED light source modules. In addition to Mountaineer, 2008+ Mercury Sable, 2008+ Ford Taurus X, 2010 - 2012 Ford Mustang, and 2008 - 2012 Chevy Malibu LTZ used these too.   However, Osram Sylvania hasn't produced Joule modules for years, so if the original unit requires replacement, owners of the vehicles mentioned above will either have to find used modules that are still functional and available for sale (which is gettin' more and more difficult these days), or more likely just use a red incandescent bulb as the replacement.   Here's a photo of an Osram Sylvania Joule LED module:

Tesla Autopilot is done:    

Yea, I agree with you. My wife has a '25 MME GT with BlueCruise. The system has worked well for us with rural interstate driving in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Ohio, though the driver monitoring aspect of the system can be very aggressive; BlueCruise disengaged unexpectedly a few times because of this.   When we were shoppin' for my wife's new vehicle, we test drove Model Y (Juniper) Launch Edition at the Tesla store on the southside of Indianapolis. Our salesman had us test FSD by inputting the address for the Meijer store on Southport Rd., where Tesla has a bank of Superchargers, into the nav system and telling the vehicle to go there using voice command. The Model Y's FSD feature drove the vehicle from the Tesla Store to the Meijer store, and backed itself into an available Supercharger stall with no pedal or steering wheel interaction by whomever was in the driver's seat for the entire trip. The return trip to the Tesla store was also 100% hands off the wheel, foot off the pedals. BlueCruise on our MME can't do that.     Hopefully Ford's CE1 products (Lincolns too?!) will have somethin' more like Tesla FSD for customers who want that kind of stuff in their next vehicle, but without the boring anonymous blob styling of the Model Y and Model 3 or the hideous abominable styling of the Cybertruck.

Definitely a step in the right direction. 

Wait, 280 miles is the long range? 😆

Only to people who don't understand how businesses operate.

I don’t know if these range estimates are comparable to U.S. ratings. Typically, the Euro range ratings have been significantly higher and well above what the vehicles are able to attain. 

We are living in very interesting times. 

These batteries are less expensive than the batteries they replaced.
