    I remember when my Dad got the diesel Escort in '84 we used to go to the local truck stop to get fuel. In the Florida Keys diesel was sold at regular stations, but was harder to find in Podunk, Ohio...

    In downtown Cleveland on several streets there are bike lanes that double as the valet parking drop off lanes for hotels and restaurants, hilarity ensues at certain times, I'm sure...

    I would think someone could set up their own mobile charging station for themselves...a Honda or Onan generator that you could tow behind your electric car on a small trailer (or in the bed of a future EV pickup) and run it to charge on the fly...;)

    It's a sedan version of the current Astra.

    The long wheelbase is because of the doors, looks like. And the 2nd row is where a 3rd row would be in other SUVs. I wonder what the weight is. 3 tons, at least I would think. A V12 SUV, is that a first? There have been a couple W12 ones. An SUV that costs twice what my house did. But I have more sq feet inside

    The article above says 230, Wikipedia says 210...210 seems more plausible, not much rear overhang and only 2 rows..
  7. Robert Hall
    Well, they might want to do a 3 row variant...

    Found this page for the '18 Durango Special Service fleet model... https://www.fcausfleet.com/dodge/durango-ssv.html On the page for the Charger Pursuit, I saw a 12.1 inch version of the UConnect screen available, didn't realize it was on anything thing yet but the '19 Ram..neat. https://www.fcausfleet.com/dodge/charger-pursuit.html

    Not sure, Ohio's plates are white w red at the top, while New York's are yellow w blue.

    I arrived home in Ohio at like 1am on a Tuesday morning after leaving Az at 7pm on Saturday night. After getting the dogs in the house and unloading a little bit, I passed out...slept until noon on Wednesday. Ordered a pizza for lunch, went back to sleep. Really wasn't functional until Thursday that week...almost a year ago. 2017 was a crazy year for me with the move and everything related to it.

    Yeah, that was a one time only trip..had to get 6 dogs from Phoenix to Cleveland. Any future road trips I take will be 7-8 hrs per day at most--spend the night in hotels, then drive again the next day--leisurely. I have a couple trips planned this year--the Florida Keys and Denver, but those will be fly in and rent a car trips. I really want to do a coast-to-coast drive for fun someday...I've done partial trips, but never a full coast-to-coast. Boston to Seattle via I-90 sounds the most interesting to me..

    I would think the only cost that is relevant to departments is how does compare in cost to a comparable Ford Interceptor utility? This isn't the 80s where police vehicles had manual windows and vinyl bench seats..
  13. Robert Hall
    LoL...I did about 50 hrs behind the wheel...2099 miles. (I did stop for catnaps, bathroom breaks for me and the critters, etc).

    Probably doing a limited test run as far as MY 2018.... and if they are favorably received, they will offer it more widely for MY 2019?
  15. Robert Hall
    I doubt if they even build Durangos w/ manual seats...the power seats make sense, cops come in a variety of sizes.

    I only go to Starbucks that have a drive thru.. though on my insane cross country drive last year, I fueled up on McDonalds or Dunkin Donuts coffee and 5-hr energy shots.
  17. Robert Hall
    Yeah, 6 inches longer than a Suburban..doesn't look it from the pics. I assume they will do an extended length version also.
  18. Robert Hall
    The problem I see is when you need to fill up while traveling or otherwise away from home or your usual area. Finding a charging station, and recharging in a reasonable amount of time.
  19. Robert Hall
    Quaint....thing is, most of my shopping is on Amazon and other online retailers, so content comes to me, rather than going to a mall or big box store like it's 1995.... the charge at home option seems most viable for me were I to go down the EV path eventually..

    I can't imagine RR buyers are into 'active lifestyle' stuff like that either, aren't their buyers usually tasteless hip hop felons or very rich senior citizens?
  21. Robert Hall
    I looked up on Plug Share, most in NE Ohio seem to be at car dealers w/ limited hours, some at hotels. One at a Dunkin Donuts near me. Still, pretty inconvenient in general compared to the ubiquity of gas stations. I'm sure it will be better in 10-15 years.
  22. Robert Hall
    I get the 'charger location anxiety'... there are a number of EV charging stations in NE Ohio, but they are clustered around the cities and suburbs, not much in the less populated areas. It's going to be a while before charging stations have the ubiquity of gas stations, and the speed of a gas refill.

    I thought he meant me, I do like mocha interiors. My Jeep seat color is called Mocha Frost, IIRC.
  24. Robert Hall
    I don't think 100% of West Coast drivers necessarily want an EV, though. I know if I lived on the West Coast, I'd be driving what I'm driving now..
  25. Robert Hall
    It would stand to reason given their purpose...hauling much heavier loads than cars, longer use cycles, and also roads were much more primitive 100 years ago than today. (though the old brick streets in old neighborhoods around here seem to have held up better than potholed modern streets).
