F-150 Hybrid
Looks like it's a full hybrid not a mild. No mention of efficiency yet though. This has the potential to save a lot of gas in America.

What Drives Us Podcast - #372 Burrito Powered Segway
Even with the pandemic – or perhaps because of it – aviation is getting rid of their dirtiest planes and looking to green tech to save fuel and money. GreyP showcases really cool – but expensive – e-Bikes. If you don’t have the cash for a GreyP, RadBikes has more mainstream – and affordable – […]

France: In May 2020 Plug-In Electric Car Sales Up By 61%
Despite in early May France was still in lockdown and that the overall market declined by almost 50%, the plug-in electric car market expanded significantly.
In total, some 7,564 new plug-in electric cars were sold last month (up 61% year-over-year). The BEV and PHEV passenger cars (7,167) had more than 7.4% market share. Only light commercial vehicles still need to recover.

Prius Gen 5 for 2021?
I am trying to make a purchase decision.
Will there be a Prius redesign for the 2021 model year? In other words, is the redesign expected to be unveiled later this year?
The last redesign was introduced for the 2016 model year. I believe details were official announced in 2015. It's been five years. I hope the anniversary edition marketing gimmick is not the 2021 model. -

What Drives Us Podcast - #370 AutoStupid
As though Sequester in Place wasn’t harming locally owned business enough, riots across the globe have indiscriminately crippled or fully shuttered small businesses. Please support your local businesses. A study (with a very small sample size using self-reporting) found that drivers with autonomous features tend to be less attentive and perform actions unrelated to driving. […]

Rav4 Prime vs Tesla?
Not sure if this thread is appropriate here; mods delete or move as necessary. Random EV musings...
Now that Toyota has released pricing and specs on its upcoming Rav4 Prime, considering a fully loaded Rav4 Prime is ~$47k in the US, with initial fed tax credits of ~$7500 bringing the price down to ~$40k, I find myself cross shopping a Tesla (which has no more fed tax credits remaining) to replace my gas guzzling Lexus LX570.
A new standard range RWD Model 3 is $38k. Long range AWD Model 3 is $47k.
And looking at Tesla website for used Teslas in Northern Cal: a used 2015 Model S at ~40k miles with AWD is ~$40k. A used 2016 Model X is ~$53k. A new LR Model Y is $53k.
Which is the more compelling long term buy? Toyota is more reliable, but only ~43 miles on electricity and still has the moving parts/maintenance of an ICE to deal with. Tesla's have 250-320 range and a super charger network, but has random build issues, and long road trips require planning around charging... -
