I don't understand how they have removed a battery's worst enemies from the equation; heat, vibration, corrosion. I predict a flop.

Great question. l would guess these will use water to stay cool like hybrid/electric cars. Maybe they have a special area that is sealed and has protection from vibration especially large jolts etc. that they will have. These would also have to be able to handle the event of being turned over in water. Will be interesting to see how this progresses. I betting it will be slow as well but it will progress, especially as battery technology is constantly improving.
 
Friendly advice: Stay out of southern Indiana Walmarts in July and August. ???
I don’t understand, what’s up at Walmarts in Indiana during the Summer?

A lot of spandex, whether they should or not. Same here. LOL
 
My sister works at Volvo plant in SC. This was a big reveal yesterday.

If you ask my volvo is making some of the best looking vehicles out there. If i didn't need to tow on occasion I would be driving a V90

We are on our second XC90. We really like them since they have retooled the design. However, they are a little glitchy as it pertains to the electronics. There are some days I can't even get the radio to play. I think buying this all electric version would give me the Willys at first.
 
I traded in my 2020 XC60 for the 2022 XC90 in June so I could tow our 195s. It does have the air suspension package, tows the 195s very nice in my opinion.
 
A week late but went from Provo UT to Lincoln NE on business. Can really see how low Utah lake got from the air! Ran into the Weenie-Mobile driving into the office. Coming back was awesome flying over the snow-capped Wasatch mountains. Overall a fun trip!

You are a brave man. Hurricane should be there tomorrow or next?
We were diverted to the Dominican Rep. instead of the Bahamas. Weather was perfect down there. The boat wasn’t quite the AR230 but it got the job done.

Here are a few things I bought (dirt cheap) at a few garage sales in my new town.

A cool painting, a pool que and accessories stand and an outdoor Shower (for swimmers). As I loaded the shower in the truck another person asked me if I would sell it to them for twice what I paid for it? Obviously NOT!!!

I lived in the Midwest pretty much my entire life. We would call this “a beautiful fall evening” now I live in central Florida so I call this “life”.

The contrast of the 3 photos above is amazing.
yeah its cold as hell in mainland FLA... I'll never see frozen water outside of an Ice cube in my drink again LOL
 
I thought I was about to be in an Alfred Hitchcock movie as this murder of crows came back to roost. We call our place the "Owls Nest" but might change to the "Crow's Nest" because of all the crows, a lot of them, that come here just before sunset to roost. Oh, and it is nauti too.

 
another sunset last night...
