Fiat Topolino Dolcevita !

Measuring just 2.53 meters the all-electric city EV has a 7.2-meter turning radius for shimming around tight spaces where standard vehicles get stuck.

Topolino gets the 6kW electric motor which should be ample for slow city riding. Given the small size, there’s a 5.5kWh battery which only churns out a promised range of 47 miles and a top speed of 28mph.

People on the internet can't stop posting about how much they hate SUVs and I hate SUVs as well but the problem is that normies fucking love them. What should we do about this?

Kiwo E5

Acabo de ver que ya están vendiendo estos carritos eléctricos aquí en Mexico (lo vi en la página de Waldo's México, en Alibaba y en otros canales de venta de la marca). Son marca Kiwo, de origen chino, y aunque te quieran decir que son 100% hecho en México, la plataforma es idéntica a la ChangLi, que tiene por lo menos 12 años haciéndose por la empresa Changzhou, de la ciudad china del mismo nombre y que ya se considera lugar clave en el desarrollo de esta industria en Asia. El modelo a la venta es el E5, y cuestan aprox. 80 mil pesos... lo que es mucho aún, pues su costo real es menos de la mitad, y son muy básicos (el ChangLi-S1 Pro cuesta menos de 30mil mxn). Son vehículos "utilitarios", poco más potentes que una cuadrimoto, o que un carrito de golf. Tienen todo lo básico de funciones y seguridad: - Tipo de motor 60V / 1200W - Tiempo de carga 5–7 horas - Freno de mano - Velocidad máxima de 50 km/h - Autonomía de 60 km - Limpiaparabrisas, luces de neblina, - Luces LED (de freno, direccionales) - Bocina de reversa - Tamaño 2400 x 1260 x 1620 mm - 1 conductor + 3 pasajeros aunque no cumplen todo lo requerido por la Norma Oficial Mexicana NOM 195, por lo que no se recomiendan usar para avenidas principales ni trayectos en carretera. auqnue sí vienen con algunos "lujitos": - Radio (MP3 + Bluetooth + Radio + Cargador USB) - Espacios para colocar tus objetos del día a día. - Colores negro,plata, rojo y blanco Como sea, me pareció interesante el dato, desde que ya es una opción de vehículo eléctrico con un costo menor a algunos equivalentes de gasolina. Desde hace tiempo se planteó por aquí que si alguien iba a poder impulsar la adopción masiva de vehículos eléctricos en nuestro país, sin duda serían los chinos, no tanto por la calidad de su oferta sino por sus costos tan baratos. No serían los autos eléctricos más potentes, no es el Zacua poblano, no el Olinia de Claudia Sheinbaun, ni los compactos de las grandes marcas, como el JAC E10X ($357,000 mxn) o el Renault Kwid E-Tech ($357,000 mxn), por sus precios aún tan poco competitivos en relación con sus equivalentes de gasolina. Y obviamente faltan mucho detalles de infraestructura en México por resolver (puntos de carga, estandarización de refacciones, talleres de servicio), temas de seguridad, etc... pero bueno, con carritos como este, y aun sabiendo los muchos tipos de necesidades que este modelo aun no podría satisfacer, podemos decir que con todo, la conversión ya comenzó. Quizá con este vehículo el comienzo no sea "tan significativo" como muchos lo quisiéramos (una revolución masiva para dejar atrás por fin el uso de vehículos de combustibles fósiles). Pero bueno las cosas poco a poco irán mejorando. ¿Porqué lo creo? Vean por ejemplo estas mini PickUps (modelo E-Ram TRX), o esta mini SUV de la misma marca ChangLi (modelo CLZKC-017), ya un poco más robustita y capaz, y que la verdad, por los $2,230 dólares que cuestan (menos de 50mil pesos mxn) sí dan ganas de manejarla aunque sea para probar... https://bit.ly/3ZXVHdm

Mercedes’s Most Affordable Sedan Will Be Electric

Mercedes-Benz said on Thursday that the latest version of its least expensive sedan would be available first as an all-electric car and then a hybrid. And the company will no longer sell a gasoline-only version of the car. That’s a big break from how Mercedes and other established carmakers have typically operated. Until recently, most automakers adapted vehicles designed for fossil fuels to be…

Lyra signaled and then turned right off of Sea Stallion Drive in my Royal Equestria Security Forces (RESF) dreamscape. Bon Bon routinely checked the car's navigation system and watched through car's window right side window as the character of the city change before her eyes.

As they drove away from main downtown thoroughfare of Ft. Trotterdale they left behind swanky shops, upscale restaurants, and fashionable new apartments and townhouses tailored to the young business executives. Just a couple blocks further and they were passing through older working class neighborhoods. Beyond them lay the older apartments, shops, cafes, and dormitories that surrounded the university. Journeying further brought them into a vast sprawling maze of light industrial, truck yards,warehouses, and eventually the commercial docks of the city. It was around 7pm but being it was summertime there was still a far bit light in the sky as Celestia had not entirely relinquished her reign for the day.

There final destination was small, dingy, two-story office building that was probably 60 years old and hadn't seen a fresh coat of paint in 20. Decades of diesel smoke, factory emission, tropical sun, rain, and general neglect had left the building's exterior color rather indeterminate.

Normally during the day this area was abuzz with activity, but it was the early evening on a Friday and most businesses, and their workers, were now closed and vacated. Only one window at their destination showed any light and possible occupancy. Lyra pulled around to the back employee parking area. Letting the car coast to lessen the rumble of its V8. There was only one other vehicle parked in the covered parking area. Bon Bon squinted at license plate on the squat, subcompact. Like the building it was parked under, Ft. Trotterdale's climate had not been kind to its. Faded red paint, speckles of rust on the body panels, and sun bleached plastic trim told the story of its daily toils.

Bon Bon checked a note on her phone and looked at the license plate again. "Yep. That's Fast Talk's current car. Lyra shut the engine off looked over at her partner. "Well now that we've found him lets pay him a visit. What passes for the cleaning service isn't suppose to show up until 9pm. That should give us a chance to have a nice chat with him!"

As they exited the vehicle Bon Bon reached down under the back seat and pulled out short barrel, 12ga, pump-action shotgun from its locking, concealed rack. Calling it a sawed off would disrespectful of the care that had gone into modifying and customizing it. Quietly her and Lyra closed the car's doors. As they did the car's paint scheme seemed to shimmer for just an instant as the vehicle's security wards activated.

Both were amused to find that the physical lock and the supposed security wards for Employees Only stairwell were inactive. Before entering the stairwell both mares pulled their RESF badges out and hung them from their belts. Then each they donned a pair of wraparound glasses that shimmered as several wards on them went live.

They'd dealt with Fast Talk numerous times and the stallion was mostly bluster. However some of the company he associated with were another matter. So out of an abundance of caution Bon Bon went first. Slowly and quietly she ascended the stairs while keeping the shotgun in a low ready position. At the top of the stairway a fluorescent light fixture flickered spastically. Carefully the earth pony peeked around the corner and let her eyes sweep over the hallway. The glasses showed no signs of camouflaged individuals or wards. Although the door knob of office in question did sparkled with a low grade form of ward. Bon Bon used her right hand to make series of signals to Lyra.

Thumbs up. Hallway is clear. Cupping her hand and making a series rotating motions followed by a wiggling of the fingers. Door is closed. Probably locked. Is warded.

The two mares softly treaded up to the door. From under it a thin sliver of light leaked out and the muffled sounds of a radio broadcasting some sporting event could be heard coming from within. Lyra knelt down next to the door knob and gently placed a one-use paper ward breaker on the door next to the knob. The mint green unicorn thumbed the safety off of her pistol and looked up at Bon Bon who carefully pushed the cross bolt safety off on her shotgun. Then the earth pony nodded her head.

Lyra's horn glowed softly and a slim force wall appeared in front of her. Then for a second her horn flared as it triggered the ward breaker. In an instant the both mares heard sharp, loud CRACK as the ward on the door and the physical lock broke. Before the sound had even subsided Lyra had turned the door knob and was heading into the office with Bon Bon bringing up the rear. Sitting behind a battered office desk and looking up suddenly from some paperwork was a wiry, slightly feral looking earth pony stallion. His left hand quickly moved toward but then moved even quicker away from the battered .41 magnum revolver sitting on top of the desk when he saw the muzzle of the 12ga pointed at him. Slowly he raised both his hands with the palms out.

Lyra quickly swept the corners of the room with her 9mm before snatching the revolver off the desk. Through all of this the muzzle of Bon Bon's 12ga never wavered from the stallion's chest. Lyra dropped her force wall and then used her horn to close the door to office behind them. Then she used her horn to magically pull all of the drawers open except one that was locked. Coming around the desk the unicorn did a quick visual inspection. Satisfied she smiled and finally addressed the stallion who'd remained silent through all of this.

"Fast Talk! Buddy! How have you been! We've been looking all over for you!"

The dappled violet stallion kept his hands up as he smiled weakly at her. "Um. Ladies! Good evening! What an unexpected surprise! I didn't expect to be meeting you tonight!"

Bon Bon lowered the shotgun muzzle but returned it to the low ready position. "Well now you have." The ivory white mare grumbled.

The stallion giggled nervously.

7 Albums

ʀᴜʟᴇꜱ: you just got a kind of shitty old car and it doesn't have bluetooth. you can only buy 7 CDs and you can't repeat an artist. what are you getting?

Thank you for the tag @12thhouse-sun. This tag made me miss my '98 Honda Civic so bad I got a little misty-eyed. I drive a gutless 13-year old subcompact now so the Honda would feel like an upgrade in some ways 😆

This was really hard! A lot of these were CDs you would have found in the Honda if you participated in one of the three successful break-ins and attempted thefts it went through.

1. Homogenic - Björk

2. Dirt - Alice In Chains

3. California - Mr. Bungle

4. Stag - Melvins

5. The Digging Remedy - Plaid

6. So - Peter Gabriel

7. The Congregation - Leprous

I'll probably think of a dozen others to agonize over as soon as I hit post 😆

Just remembered when I was in my twenties and had my first car. It looked like a 1992 Dodge Colt, but the engine had been completely rebuilt, and it was a stick shift.

I had a surprising number of dudes pull up beside me at red lights, gun their engines, then give me the chin nod.

I had no idea WHY they wanted to race me, but I blew them all away.

One night, my dad happened to be in my car when a couple of dudes pulled up next to me and gunned their engine at a red light, and I knew my dad knew what it meant, so I figured he'd love watching me smoke them.

Smoke them I did, and then Dad said, "Gayle, they're HITTING on you."

"What?"

"They're gunning their engine to show off and impress you."

"Well, then they should drive better."

Years later, when I had my first brand new car (The Yaris we still drive), Chrysler had tried to come out with a sports car, and I'd read the stats and laughed because the get-up-and-go on that 'sports car' versus my 4-cylinder subcompact was kind of embarrassing.

And then, at lights, dudes who had bought that slow ass sports car gunned their engines to get my attention and gave me the chin nod and well, I think you know what happened.
