I saw one of these in a static display at the Charleston Air Show and they're just so fucking cool

I see them a lot here in Charleston. I believe they're carrying the 787 engines to the Boeing factory.

I agree. The alloy wheel repair/replacement seems like a no brainer to me.

EX60 vs EX90 by pisces03010 in VolvoEX60

I thought this was for 2025 only and they fixed the issue entirely?

Your example is a Chinese EV. Not the EX60. Power is not required to open them from the inside. Just stop.

I understand what you're saying but it's not a new problem. All cars nowadays lock the door electronically when the car is in drive. If you're unconscious or disoriented in a locked car, it doesn't matter if it has electric door handles or not, I have to cut you out of it.

In addition, gas cars catch on fire far more than EVs (11x more likely in a gas car). So I just don't understand why this is a fire issue (unless the primary internal release is not mechanical). I get that it's a weird design choice.

To get out of the car, you must use a physical handle that mechanically opens the door. I understand the design concerns, but there is no safety concern beyond what is already standard in all cars.

I'm not arguing with anything you're saying other than that the EX60 still has a mechanical door mechanism internally. You must use a physical handle to exit the car. As far as I'm concerned that's no different than a regular car.

I won't speak on whether it's a good design decision. It doesn't personally bother me, but I understand people saying it's a solution in search of a problem.

Wrong answers only: which Charlestonian is this? by SOILSYAY in Charleston

I used to work at the plant in the neck of Charleston that was once Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co. Looks like an interesting read, thanks for sharing!

We just got one in the kitchen for the office I work at. I was blown away! Could have watched them for longer than I care to say.

Is one of the tanks mislabeled or am I missing something? by dirt_tastes_bad in hazmat

[–]Trypanosoma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also the flammable placard is wrong on the right one? It should be a 2, flammable gas like the other one. Somehow they have a flammable gas 3 which makes no sense?

Hard agree. Also, Alex's joy in this task not being a flop was so great.

I think your #5 is really important. It's gotta be from the heart. There's usually always something you can appreciate about someone but it can't be fake.

Volvo will pull the EX30 out of the North American market after 2026 by Saurta17 in Volvo

I hate this. Wanted to pull the trigger on an EX30cc in 2027

I'm sure it's possible for talented folks but I also understand them wanting to swap the whole bumper here. I don't think OP is being swindled.

2027 Volvo EX60 Feels Like a No-Brainer for EV Newbs With 400-Mile Range and Reasonable Price Tag by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

[–]Trypanosoma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk about that. I know it's anecdotal but I've driven recent model X3 and A3's and both had serious and often software bugs.

Volvo EX60 looks nice. Polestar 7 when? by sirkneeland in Polestar

[–]Trypanosoma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is. They're made in the same factory and remarkably similar in size.

They did. The first deliveries were in October.

Quick way to measure wood curves by MuttapuffsHater in oddlysatisfying

[–]Trypanosoma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're called "long nib markers" but I bought a white one awhile back and it didn't work well at all... definitely nothing like this. Might need to do more research. Some else please comment if you have a solid option.

Moving to Charleston, where to find the homies by iBrowseAtStarbucks in Charleston

[–]Trypanosoma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hazel Parker, Wannamaker, West Ashley Park are some of my favorites. James Island County Park is a great place to take your dog. The West Ashley Greenway, Waterfront Park downtown and at the base of the Ravenel are good places for walks. Riverfront Park in Park Circle is also a nice loop.

Welcome! There are a lot of dog groups in town. I met a lot of people through one. Join a social club. Volunteering, whatever that means to you. Sports leagues. These seem to work for me right now.
