Depends on how much you drive and what roads you go on. I have a 220V charger in my garage, so the charge times were tolerable. On a weekend, doing multiple short trips back-and-forth from the house I would never use gas. During the week the gas engine could turn on for part of the commute home. Highway driving kills your battery range. I got 49 miles out of the battery a few times, but ~45 mph seems to be the tipping point. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Had a Volt for 3 years, and would do again. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Does it overheat while driving, or just while sitting still? Could this be as simple as a thermostat or a water pump? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Nice! Love the color. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I think the point is not to be a single issue voter, and stopping the total shit show of the Trump presidency and the entire direction the Republican party has taken is not outweighed by one bill proposal that has no chance of passing 100% in its current form. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

*EcoBoost It will be interesting to see if Ford has a Bronco Raptor in the works with a 3.5L EcoBoost. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Looks good. The "Limited X" was a really nice looking trim level. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I guess you didn't read it: "Doctors at Edinburgh University examined ultrasound scans known as echocardiograms from more than 1,200 patients in 69 countries and found heart problems in 55%, with one in seven exhibiting signs of “severe abnormalities”. The scans found damage to the ventricles – the two main chambers of the heart – in more than a third of the patients, while 3% had experienced heart attacks and a further 3% had inflamed heart tissue. The majority had no known heart disease before the scans were done." Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Well, the JL is an improvement over JK, and they were the only one in that market, so there was more consideration to not upset the purists, as opposed to making massive changes to expand market. The Bronco does have a good powertrain line up, though there are still people who have the EcoBoost in the F150. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

The Sport does look interesting as well and is meant to compete with the Cherokee. Ford was smart to launch the Bronco as a sub-brand of vehicles to take on Jeep, while GM will re-launch Hummer as an all EV brand to head off Rivian and Tesla. I dont think Hummer will be stealing any Jeep purists, but Bronco definitely might. GM has also been adding "off-road" versions of their GMC products that look to compete with Jeep Trailhawk trim levels, but I don't think thats going to be as effective as Bronco.

And Jeep showed a 6.4L Wrangler "Concept" today. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Have you lost your sense of taste too? Good luck. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

It's not just being sick and getting better. It looks to have lasting effects for many. I realize this is in meme-form, but it saves me lots of typing. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Careful, hot spots don't exist because of increased testing. If that were the case, the % positive would remain fairly flat. It's not in AZ, TX, and FL, for sure. No one gets kept overnight without good reason, especially when beds are in short supply. Especially if you pay attention to ICU capacity. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Last I saw, the rate of hospitalization was flat across almost all age groups, even though mortality is much higher in the older brackets. So high infection rates can still overwhelm the hospital system, and when they start turning patients away the mortality rates will go up, possibly across the board.

Maybe now people will actually wear them... Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Doesn't seem like a waste of money, if it's something you like to do. Just compare it to a boat, jetski, or even a Jeep/Bronco/TJ/etc modified for trail riding. You might be able to drive the Jeep every day, but you also would feel worse about taking your $50k rig down those trails. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

14 days was just the publicized incubation period, not the time to recovery. One of the reasons it's a drain on hospital resources is because it has such a long recovery time (3 to 4 weeks is not uncommon). There are also "long haulers" that even continue to have symptoms, some are even past 100 days. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

But it was published after other parts of the world had to deal with a possible epidemic (SARS, MERS) and there was active discussion in the US about an inevitable respiratory virus pandemic. Yes there are people publishing conflicting studies, but note that this is about whether the mask is effective or not, instead of whether wearing a mask is dangerous and will kill you. People need to stop believing the crap about asks being dangerous to wear and focus one whether they are effective or not. When faced with the question of whether its effective, consider the possible side effects. If it is effective then we prevent rapid spread of the virus, fewer people die, the economy can actually get restarted without the risks of more shutdowns, and hopefully you don't get sick yourself. If it's not effective you just wore a mask for no reason, a bunch of people will still get sick and die, and the economy will shut down several more times, causing a deeper recession. To me the risk vs reward tilts toward wearing the mask and hoping the economy can recover. I'm willing to try anything (especially something so simple) that might keep everyone working. There are several credible studies showing the effectiveness of wearing masks (if 80% of people wore them infection rates may drop by 92%, according to one), and, anecdotally, the current case numbers in other countries where people are actually wearing masks are staying low. We're so bad in the US now that Europe and China will have travel bans on us and they'll call their second waves "the US virus." Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Asymptomatic people wouldn't be getting tested, at least in large numbers, so I wouldn't assume that's of any significance in the rising case count. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I stated that because we know there were uncounted cases in March when the shutdown began, but more people who have mild symptoms or can ride this out at home are now being counted. The raw number of cases today cannot be compared to the raw number we had counted in March, but the rate of increase day-to-day, week-to-week can be a good indicator of the rate of change within the community.
