Elon said he wanted to do it after the Model 3 was done but I believe he was talked out of it for economic reasons having to do with they just completed this 12v version, maybe take some time before reworking everything.

I think they’ll be a net benefit, but will not reach their full potential, probably ever. If people only ever use autonomous taxis then they can save money by only requesting what they need, which could be a very small taxi, whereas before they had an SUV because 4x a year they needed to move 6 people. Now they can…

That would undermine the family unit, and undermining the US seems to be their goal

Sometimes I get the suspicion that companies intentionally make what appear to be PR mistakes in order to get more attention

I’m sorry but that blue and silver one on Craigslist is bad ass and a total unicorn. If I lived in Indianapolis and had something to trade for it, this bad idea would happen. I am geographically limited and thank God for that.

I’d love to have a manual transmission for fun and an automatic for traffic, and I want a sporty hybrid, so I should be right where this is aiming, but the car’s styling and the execution of the transmission just leave me unenthused. It’s like it’s close but I’m just not seeing what I want on the trans, and the…

I stopped for gas once and my friend got out and started smoking right by my car. I told him don’t smoke by the gas pumps! So he went and smoked by the propane tanks. I still give him shit about it when we talk on the phone.

I’d be more likely to buy it. I dig the rotaries, but all you hear about is reliability issues. Put in a turbo 6 or maybe a turbo 4 and this would be a great car. Some people would be mad it’s not a rotary and I get it, but I think most people would be understanding about it at this point, even with as awesome as…

Sure are a lot of Right wing and Russian Trolls in the Yahoo Comments section astro-turfing on basically any news story. Wonder if that’s related.

Anything they can do to make electric cars more appealing I’m interested in. The first leaf was hideous, the new one’s ok, this Nismo one borders on attractive. Hopefully they’ll start making faster and faster ones with longer range

Part of the Concorde’s problem was it couldn’t fly over land because it made sonic booms. By leaving he atmosphere this is no longer a problem. So it could be argued that he took a long look at the Concorde and found a better way. If it’s affordable then he found a much better way.

People say they should have premium dealerships like Lexus to sell this car, and I agree they should improve, but going that far just doesn’t make sense for Kia. Most of their clientele will be working class folks looking for reliable transportation who don’t have good credit. I think if they raised the floor of the…

I agree but I’m in no rush to get another fwd. If it happens I won’t hate it, which is nice.

McDonalds has franchises and they deliver consistent quality for the most part, but car dealership franchises vary widely with many being awful. Obviously cars and fast food are very different things, but one should inform the other.

They don’t have to admit it as they may not know. Furthermore this is just one symptom of a wider operation, and probably the most easily broken down into a sound bite. Troll farms, actually fake news, etc etc

I’d like to know more about carbon sinks and active carbon capture from the environment, geo-engineering, stuff like that.

If it’s already that heavy then what difference does it make? As to the Porsche being better, I can see that but if you choose a Jaguar over the Porsche it’s probably that you just feel the interior and exterior design suits your tastes better. Cars aren’t always about specs and logic.

I disagree. Most of these people are driving their personal cars and are in vulnerable positions. Rating passengers keeps shitheads out of the program and allows a wider range of driver to participate. I had a driver the other day who was a petite little girl, had no issues letting a (likely well rated) stranger into…

You may want to recalibrate your star meter for web and driver reviews. If my Lyft driver does a good job they get at least 4 stars, and it’s not hard to get 5. If they did their job and you have no real complaints then 3 stars seems too low. Like to me a 3 star Amazon item is one I don’t like, but it’s not so bad as…
