I don't even want to know how much one of those would cost, or how many it would take to charge a car over night. The output per unit isn't overly impressive so it would take a few, I'd think. Maybe enough to make my diesel generator seem like a bargain, and it runs regardless of weather...

Well, apparently the idea was to use solar panels, in order to not tap into the general grid. So that leaves having a solar powered battery bank large enough to charge up an electric vehicle's batteries over night. I'm way to lazy to look up any numbers, but based on that many electric vehicles...

It does. Makes some wonder why a good looking car got four dually fenders slapped onto it. But at least it's not four doors...

I always liked the correctly positioned cab lights, since they allow me to dim my headlights right before they would blind the driver. Now that they have turned into a fashion statement instead, the Raptor, TRX (and apparently also Toyota) drivers won't get that advantage.

Hmm. Looking at that last photo it seems like the outermost marker lights are amber, not red. Used to be that anything behind the rearmost axle had to be red. Those cry closets must've changed a few more things than I thought.

Yeah, I wondered about the Raptor, too. As I recall, they have what Ram copied.

Wonder what changed? It used to be that cab marker lights were supposed to be mounted as high as practicable, and I think it's been a while since only three were enough. Maybe since the Fifties? Also, they're called cab marker lights for a reason.

If they were a legal requirement for width, it would be three of them, flanked by two farther out to the sides. And they'd be on the roof, not on the hood. As mentioned earlier, there's no federal requirement for cab marker lights on a 3/4-ton, unless it's a dually. And a TRX is (I think) six...

Yeah, modern dashboard lights aren't quite the same, are they?

That would be a much better name than what I had in mind. "ChargerChallenger satellite office, minus Charger" is a bit of a mouthful.

Umm, okay. So I buy an electric vehicle, come home in the evening and plug it in to charge from...solar panels? Unless I mount a spotlight that illuminates the solar panels, how will that work out?? We have very clear skies, and the moon obviously shines every now and then, but that won't be...

Hey, with 0% financing I can afford to sit on them until you have to come begging for one. Now with ADM, as '21s may be the last real (non-electric) ones.

A stop at the liquor store?

I figured that it would go without saying that I didn't include allocations for Chargers when reserving. If someone is desperate enough to want a taxi, I wouldn't want to stand in their way. Compassion, I think they call it.

Isn't that what they make Chargers for?

Guess I forgot to mention that in an effort to beat ChargerChallenger at his own game, I bought up all the allocations from that dealer for the next 14 months.

Jeez, Hellcatcfp, it's Texas. It's always hot. Except when in snows, every 150 years or so.

Jeez, Magnified, are you that rotund? Or is it only Challengers that one can go from the trunk to the cabin in? At least I think you can on Challengers. I prefer using one of the two elegant doors instead.

By that logic your taxi has five doors. You're not supposed to count the rear lid as a door. That's a modern thing, much like 4-door coupes.

Could you live with only having three doors, though?
