Ehh, well actually, there are some kei vehicles from at least as late as the 90s that were primarily one wheel drive... The hijet with the rear diff lock has a rear axle that basically just powers the rear right tire all the time and then when locked (via vacuum solenoid controlled by a switch...

Nick Funaro's name is on the permit. Linked in says as of May 2024 he no longer works for Tesla... So it would likely have to be someone else picking it up.

If you put 4580 Klahanie Dr. SE in Google it shows up as Issaquah for some reason

Issaquah street address that exists within the city limits of Sammamish. That's just odd. Permit shows as pending payment and is now past due by almost a month. I have a feeling this might be one of the sites that ends up abandoned...

Seems like a decent spot, though, that's literally right off the northup 520 exit. Easy stop for bridge commuters. Short walk to Burgermaster even. I'd keep an eye on it, could still be picked up and resumed once the shuffling finishes. Or it might not.

Because single dudes making 45k/yr need 9000 off a Rivian lease xD. These programs are designed to be gamed. It's just figuring out how to not be the loser in everything the state does and it's always a challenging game because the things they pass are so head scratching at times.

The numbers are in that article 300% federal poverty. Family of 4 is 93k. Not much, but I'm just wondering how bad the system will be gamed and the taxpayer takes it as usual. I mean those with means will probably just get their elderly parent or young adult kid or someone to buy it for them and...

Any word on how they intend to measure income for qualifying? Last years agi off your federal 1040? Prefilled in forms by the dealer already ready to go with no one to verify them? Self attestation? Nothing would surprise me in this state anymore.

We're gonna need a bigger battery

It showed up this morning when I loaded the map, it was not there last night for me even showing all charger locations and scrolling around there was nothing in that location. I'm sure the charger list was just cached at some layer and needed updating. It is also not showing up under the Charge...

I didn't see any openness to public use just now. It works on my Tesla but it just says plug in to charge and monitor in vehicle. Not on the in car map yet.

There are several programs for charger monies fwiw, ZEVIP is from WSDOT, but there's also the "underserved" and "overburdened" area programs from the dept of commerce... A lot of those perpetually broken 2 handle chargepoint or similar slower chargers in locations that make no sense often get...

Is this by WAC or through funding allocation for the NEVI and the state cap and invest funds or something? I don't recall any legislation last session explicitly saying that?

Interesting the lni electrical permit is still active (not final) with an outstanding correction.

The backup assist? I have it on my newer f150, I never use it tbh. "Cosplay "off-road" tires" xD LOL
