Looks like NYCfleet gobbled up some ev Chevrolets. Vehicle label says “School Safety” but it comes with armored front doors 🙃

It’s risky to drive anything that looks like an NYPD vehicle these days, the average criminal won’t know that this isn’t being driven by an actual officer.

On the one hand, they hope it helps with visual deterrence, on the other hand, you’re basically just sticking someone who isn’t a cop in something that, to 99% of people, looks like a cop car.

This is why I sold my p71 Crown Vic. Pulling up at home depot in it was not well received by the daily hire folks. 🤣

Couldn’t safely take a photo, but I saw a huge SUV that I assumed was an EV w/ a logo I didn’t recognize on the front, a matte black paint job, no licenses, and a lidar on top. It said, “The Futurist” or something like that on the fender.

After a bit of a internet search, I found it!

If it’s a pre-order, I wonder if I saw a testing mule or something….

Cool-looking car.

Not a first sighting, but seeing one is always fun. 🙂

I am curious to drive one. I think these will struggle to sell, as they already have the uphill battle of reversing the damage the ev version did to that market. 🤷‍♂️ They’ll likely need attractive lease options.

I was burning through some ChargePoint credits fueling up my [Wee Organs](https://wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=Wagoneer+S+&t=500&a=n) just outside the showroom, and briefly considered asking for a test drive.

Then I got an email or something.

I don’t remember.

Apparent not a terrible review from good old Dough. Interested in seeing if they bring back the v8, which im sure they will. Wouldn’t mind one if they get cheap enough 🙂

Spotted in Newark, NJ. Looks like a big station wagon to me.

Looks like minivan, they should make sliding door.

Not the best pic (sorry).

I like wagons, but I’ve found some of the recent ones to be TOO long (V90, E-class), too big overall (last gen A6), or too _wide_ (Taycan).

I don’t love how the 5-Series looks, but I think the sedan does a decent job of distracting from how poorly proportioned it is.

This wagon, however, is just divine. I’m assuming the lowered suspension helps a lot. Almost a _too_ smooth on the sides, but it gives a low-key menacing vibe and has quiet luxury written (quietly) all over it.
