Always liked the Rubicon body style, this will be a watched vehicle By me. No chance of switching though.

I take back my interest since it is a battery hybrid With 50k starting price point.

I am still a fan of the body style

A 78-year-old under security protection in a limited area of operation.... Yeah, I can just imagine the Secret Service if the go pedal had more get up and go. Or the heart attack if he accidentally lost control going around the driveway circle.

I thought he mostly rode the train anyway.
To commute, sure. Trucks aren't so great for long solo commutes into urban cores! He has a '67 Corvette.



As a VP and President, he's not been allowed to drive at all! Just these little bits.

Maybe that's why he gets into every vehicle he can when doing these EV pressers. The only chance he gets to drive.

I would still like to see the President to keep going, loop the whitehouse (where possible) and return saying it was too much fun driving not to take the opportunity.
The publicity, both positive and negative, would increase visibility to EVs.

Want to make a statement? Take it off-road. Cross the rose garden, through the vegetable garden (actually that might not be there anymore), across the lawn doing donuts in front of the tourists... That would get some attention.
