Thanksgiving Holiday, 2022 -- Fairbanks Alaska -- Part 18 - Thursday, 11/24 - Changing rental homes & frozen lake
Changing rental homes.
This one worked out well.
Went for coffee in the morning at the Alaska Roasting Company.
There were a lot of people on Thanksgiving day.
Before heading to the second rental home to check in, we had some time so we went to a regional park with a lake, near the second rental.
Frozen lake with people ice fishing.
There was a company giving "tours" on ice fishing which included cooking what you caught for lunch.
Went for a walk across the frozen lake.
Not too big.
Thursday, November 17, 2022 -- LA Auto Show Press Day - Part 20
Strange "air outlet" on the hood.
The "unlock" symbol on the door is sideways.
I don't think this is to unlock the door.
I think it's the electric button to release the door lock, so you can get out.
There were no visible door release handles in the usual area.
In the door storage area, there's a somewhat hidden lever that's a backup for the electric door release.
It feels cable operated and is somewhat difficult to use to open the door.
All of this seems unnecessary.
There's nothing wrong with the normal door release handle.
It's like a lot of stuff on EVs; they're solutions looking for a problem.
At worse, they're adding unneeded weight, complexity, cost & often confusion.
For example, haptic touch control buttons/switches should be banned from cars...
The overall quality of the interior is pretty low.
Looks and feels like something from a car 20+ years ago.
Lots of low quality plastic/vinyl in an unattractive drab grey color.
Has a frunk that's kinda on the small side.
I guess if you're desperately lacking space (the trunk and rear seats are full), you might go to the trouble of putting something under the hood...
