A terrible situation and the 72 YO must have become incapacitated quickly from the heat to kick out a side window.

It's the same in our CLK cab, pull the internal door release handle and the window drops a bit to clear the door seal and the rear window goes backwards half an inch.

Michigan finally had some sense slapped into them/her.

"U.S. automaker Ford Motor Company announced Monday that it would pause construction of a billion-dollar plant in Michigan involving a Chinese electric vehicle battery company"

There would be no need, there's a lever on the floor to open the door.

You're absolutely right, a lever on the passenger side floor to open door in case of electrical failure and it's imperative to read all the safety info in the handbook.

I don't think that HAARP can manipulate the weather.

I can't comment on something that was reported to have happened five decades ago, even thinking about this does peoples' brain in.

Cloud seeding was one of the attributes of HAARP - they seed the atmosphere and then super heat the ions for the desired effect. If you're looking for them to admit they do weather manipulations VIA Google and Wikipedia, you're going to have a rough time



Also, this is normal - right?

I lease and I think the article should have been directed at the lies that EV RENTERS and owners tell. More inclusive that way.

I see how deluded some folk are. You don't have to lose your objectivity and sense of perspective just because of the powertrain you are sat on.
