Provided Nissan stays financially viable, the Leaf may do well. Every review I’ve seen thus far has been positive for the most part, though they have all been of the $40k upper trim. At that price it will have to compete with Tesla 3 and Y, not to mention other manufacturers like Ford, Chevy, Hyundai, etc.
IMO the real test will be S+ starting at $30k, where competition is much less. Chevy will have the Bolt in that price range but it’s smaller and an older design. And when Nissan introduce the base S trim which could be closer to $25k than $30k, we’ll see how buyers react given there’s no competition at that price. Next year should be very interesting for more affordable EVs. If you happen to see review of Leaf S+ please share. I’ll do same.
Growing up on Dearborn back in the 50's, it's going to be hard to imagine Michigan Ave with no Glass House. I was in there in the late 50's for a Leonardo DaVinci exhibit, and in the 70's when I was an engineering gopher. Great views of Dearborn and Detroit from the upper floors.
Check out the new Nexus Maximus RV line: Linky
It's the first Super C RV I've seen based on the F650 chassis. I just mentioned a couple weeks ago on here how I'd like to see that happen, and here it is. Hope for the MD line at Ford?
Seems too obvious doesn't it? No flames please, but as I've said many times, think of the incremental sales lost because they offer BS excuses why they can't offer air brakes on 650/750 gas models.
A lot of class 6 and 7 operators run a business where their trucks are used in support of their primary business. Without them they would be forced to hire someone for that support and or suffer the disruption to their business while waiting for that outside support. And a key point, they are more likely to buy that truck when the up front price is some $12,000 less then a diesel.
Oh side note...Hino was supposedly going to offer class 8 trucks then every thing was apparently derailed when they had their compliance issues. While I have not seen any news that says they are back on schedule with that, apparently they are as one of the "ad rags" I get shows one of those "class 6/7" Hinos for sale with about a 15 yd dump body and 46,000 lb. rears!
I used Google Maps to look at the property, and it looks cute. 4 stories normal suburban office building...personally I would have created some tall tower and make a statement....looks like they went with a campus look instead.
I always use the garage opener on my visor ONLY because I always park in my garage. For my tenants though, I always advice them that if they park outside on the driveway, anyone can break a window, press the button on the visor, and walk right into their garage. For those that use the garage as storage to store grandma's antiques (Rooms 2 Go paid of junk) while letting their car rot outside in the FL sun making monthly payments, I advise them they can get one of those small garage openers that hang on the keyfob they can take with them when they park outside.
