Land Rover: New "Pet Packs" For Your SUV

On National Dog Day, August 26, 2018, Land Rover announced a line of pet accessories which will be available this winter for each and every model of their vehicles.

Owners can chose from 3 “pet packs” available, or purchase each item separately.

The Pet Load Space Protection pack includes: (1) a spill-resistant water bowl, (2) a full-height luggage partition, and (3) a quilted load space liner that protects the floor, rear seatbacks, and side walls from paw prints. 

The Pet Transportation pack includes: (1) a foldable pet carrier, (2) load space rubber mat, and (3) the spill-resistant water bowl.

The Pet Car and Access Pack includes: (1) a full-height luggage partition, (2) a quilted load space liner that protects the floor, rear seatbacks, and side walls from paw prints, and (3) a ramp that helps dogs get into the load area, and (4) a portable rinse system for washing off paws. The ramp supports dogs up to 187 pounds and has a high grip tread pattern to prevent slippage. The portable rinse system holds up to 1.7 gallons of water, which Land Rover says should be enough for a five-minute shower.

Do you enjoy traveling with your pooch?  Land Rover certainly makes it easy to do so with their new line of pet accessories.

Forest River Safety Recall

Forest River, Inc. has recalled certain 2018 Surveyor travel trailer RVs with Federal Placards for the wrong tire and rim combination information.  According to Forest River, the Placards indicate ST225/75R15D Tires with 65 PSI and a rim designation of 15X6.0JJ, while the subject travel trailers actually have installed ST205/75R14C Tires with 50 PSI and a rim designation of 14X5.5JJ.

Forest River, Inc. admits that the incorrect Federal Placards could cause a consumer to over-inflate the tires, which may lead to premature tire degradation, a tire blowout, reduced handling, and potentially increase the risk of crash.   

According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (“NHTSA”), Forest River, Inc. has notified owners, and will provide a new Federal Placard with will indicate the correct tire, PSI, and rim combination.

Will Disappearing Tax Credits Impact Electrical Vehicle Sales in the Future?

Under the tax credits created during the Obama administration, new electrical vehicle purchasers can claim from $2,500 to $7,500 depending on the size of the car and its battery capacity. Each manufacturer can sell 200,000 in the US before they have to phase out out the tax credits, which are reduced by 50% every 6 months once the manufacturer hits to 200,000 vehicle mark.




Will disappearing tax credits impact electrical vehicle sales in the future?  The answer appears to be a resounding no.  Tesla has already hit 200,000 vehicles and does not show any signs of slowing down its production.  And, General Motors is expected to pass the 200,000 mark by the end of 2018.  In fact, GM is expected to have at least 20 electric model vehicles in its lineup.  Only time will tell.

And, with electrical vehicle production on the rise, lemon electrical vehicles will almost certainly be on the rise as well.
