from what I understand is that the door windows are frameless, so the electric door release button allows the window to drop a bit to eliviate the chance of damaging the window when opening and closing the door...the mechanical handle won't lower the window and could cause damage. That is why I try to remember to tell new passengers how to open the door properly...most of the time they just pull the lever as it is more instinctual than pressing a button

Not really, my former E85 has frameless windows, and automatically drops down as well when opening the door regardless if the top is down or up, and fairly certain it is a cable

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"

And using hydrogen fuel in a conventional internal combustion still does not get around the main issue with ICE which is combustion efficiency (i.e. waste heat) between 40% - 60%.

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.

Some say that fire has been burning since June 4, 2021 and that it will never go out.

I thought this would be images and videos of DIRECT ENERGY WEAPONS causing fires (Maui) and earthquakes, and the videos and images of the government using planes to aerosols the air to manipulate weather.

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

It absolutely can. They had manipulated the weather in Vietnam.

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

That wasn’t HAARP. It was plain old cloud seeding.

My guy, if they could do this 50 years ago, what can they do now?

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'm not surprised. I also found the comment about lack of mechanics/technicians to do repairs being a short supply interesting. These are all part of the problem with government mandating transition without considering the issues it would cause.

An interesting article on the lies EV owners tell.
