When was the last time you went to a gas station and half of the pumps just didn't work? I've never encountered this in my life, yet.

Well they need to sort this issue out because it is far from the first time I've read stations not charging anywhere near their stated rate AND having multiple plugs "out of order". It would be infuriating if you're taking a road trip and you think you can stop for 45 minutes for a quick charge and are stuck for 2-3 hours.

To go with those issues, they had a heck of a time both finding a charger that is working AND getting charged at a decent rate. Yes, the chargers are "rated" for 150 and 250kwh but neither were charging anywhere close to that.

That is so disappointing that you put the factory exhaust back on the car...

CUE has been pretty trashy the entire time it's been around. It's probably much improved over the first two generations but as far as I can see, they're on 3.0 that was launched in 2017. They've probably moved on to a different acrynom as I don't see "CUE" on their website. You must not have owned a German car.

Cadillac also didn't even offer curve illumination so if you just look at the standard assembly, they're only $280, which seems reasonable or just a realistic price for an entire OEM headlight assembly, imo. Xenon are HID and, in fact, a slightly better HID.

Oh I completely agree. I didn't bring it up though.

Did you forget about CUE? Same generation compared to your Escalade(I looked up a 2007 GL450), OE part, NOT $1500, even the curve illumination ones.

Did you forget CUE was/is a thing?

Interesting how in two nearly consecutive posts you can feel the brand bias. Cadillac = Luxurious! Mercedes = Worried about cost repairs

You know very little will, just like all of the other riots in the last few years... unfortunately.

At least we've all grown up here, right?

That's just amazing...

Haha I don't think I've had a vehicle with a full size spare, only donuts for me! I'd still take a donut every single day over a can of "fix-a-flat" and an air pump. I can buy and store those in my vehicle if I want, I can't just buy and store a spare wheel/tire unless the vehicle had a space designed to store it.

100% agree. I'm very fortunate that if I did get a flat, I have an actual spare to put on for the time being. I also check the pressure once a year because those lose air as well and most forget about it. You'd be surprised how often somebody gets a flat and go to put on their spare and it's flat as well but it's a negligence issue, not the tire blowing out.

Makes since why there's more volume, when there's no spare tire/jack to account for,

That stuff doesn't take up nearly the space a spare wheel with a jack take up. Nowhere close.

The Escape has a spare tire and the Mach-E does not. That's not an EV advantage, that's just the lack of a spare tire.

Like, say, the millions of people living in densely populated cities that have to use public charging or even if their parking complex has chargers, you'd be on some rotation or hope you get an open one when you need juice.

Supposedly, so we hear from our resident EV pusher, they're so much cheaper and simpler to produce as they're so much simpler. I'd be curious to know what features each one does or doesn't have at those prices.

You don't get on David for his push of EVs onto others.

TWO WEEKS!! That's understandable and we, here in STL, are in the same exact boat with Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright. They've both been here since 2004 and 2005, respectively, and won multiple World Series and appearances. Now they're free agents and they're just kind of in limbo as apparently nothing has been offered by the team but talks are they'd both like to come back. It would be nice if the team would just come out and say they're trying to re-sign them or they're letting them play elsewhere.

I mean he wasn't cut, like you said. He just wasn't re-signed. Would you have expected them to cut or trade him last year while under contract and having the best record in the NHL? They kept him for another Cup run, and they were on a great pace had COVID not slowed them down(like the Blues).
