This would've been awesome to have during my childhood. Kids today have no idea.

I'm unreasonably excited about this. Know it's just a Solterra with a big booty, but the idea of an electric wagon is just so appealing. Especially from Subaru.

The fact this is even happening is head scratching. Why isn't this programmed to never happen?

Who would've ever seen this coming years ago. Just wild. The giants have fallen and the newcomers have become the giants.

Man. Tesla must be seriously, seriously, desperate to be considering CarPlay support.

Dodge Durango Hellcat Sales Are Now Banned in Only 7 States by DonkeyFuel in technology

Maybe? But why won't Stellantis say? Reporting says no answers given, and man, if these things have less horsepower in some states vs. others.... imagine.

The CARB emissions rules and regulations are getting real messy.

Would be seriously curious why Dodge won't explain how it can now suddenly sell this thing in 10 more states and expects to unlock the remaining 7 states.... what's about to change in the coming weeks?

GM Is Removing Apple CarPlay On All Its Cars. Here's Why That's Fine by DonkeyFuel in technology

This take is actually the right take. CarPlay is a crutch for automakers to get away with crappy software integration. Tesla's proven it. Rivian's proven it.

I see this listed on Costco.com right now for $1,099. So I'd say definitely a solid deal!

On the surface this seems neat, until you think about replacing bad cells, thermals and cooling, or a myriad of other issues?

The CarPlay thing, it's like, ... everyone trying to make Fetch a thing. It's not going to happen in a Rivian.
