Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

That's a great local brewery that we have. Do I drink their beer? No.

I just want to make discreet deliveries to coastal regions.

I'd bet it unlocks the charging door, not pops it open.

Nope, it does absolutely nothing at all.  The dealer guy even told me that.  I originally thought the gas door button does nothing but I guess that one unlocks the gas door though.  But the charger door button on the remote is simply because they're too cheap to replace the remote.

Keep in mind most of that 40 grand went to the drivetrain and the technology inside the car, not the passenger cabin.

Even at that price, I'm sure GM is losing a bucket full of cash on every one they build.

Maybe initially but I doubt they are right now unless you calculate the originally R$D cost into it.. It's still cheap though.. they could've done a lot better...

How Kalifornian it is to let hybrid/EV drivers use the HOV lane.

Only cars with ZEV stickers can get into HOV lanes..
