The pay it forward thing has always been the dumbest thing imaginable. It’s performative charity for people who don’t need it. Want to feel good? Donate time or money to an actual cause. Or, as this article wisely suggests, tip the workers.

“So they are only aloud to gouge on Mach-Es ?”

I hope you haven’t had many serious issues with your F-Type. My wife picked up a 2018 Ultra Blue with red leather SVR from a exotic consignment dealer in Missouri March 2020 (before prices went beserk) and it’s been mechanically solid. A weird issue with the nav (lost it’s bearing but magically fixed a few days later…

We already knew you liked pain and punishment when you said you’d rather have a McLaren 570s over a 911

Remember this is usable battery, so packs are actually larger. Based on what we have heard so far, people believe Ford is “under-promising but will over-deliver”. It wont be by much, but compared to Tesla when they say “315 mile range” but your lucky to actually go 260 miles, Ford is working really hard to give…

The Rivian also starts at $70k, the Hummer at $100k+......

What’s your point?

That’s 98 and 131 kWh USABLE, that’s the net number. If Ford is using a 10% battery buffer in Lightning, like they do in Mustang Mach-E, the total capacities are ~108 and ~145 kWh. Check out the other slides from that presentation for the clarification. 

Typical thin blue line proponent. Big fan of law and order...for everyone else.

Pretty safe space but advertising thin blue line propaganda ? The dude is not as safe as he want to show.

What?  But... that’s exactly what F1 does ever safety car.  The only difference this time is there were 3 cars they made stay put.  They should have let them all through and let them through earlier, then we wouldn’t be having this discussion, but the result would be the same.

A bad take on Jalopnik?  Unheard of.

Pretty much my take.  Best option would have been to let the lap traffic through a bit earlier, and let all of them through.  We get the same end result, but with less whining.

I’m fine with how it finished (that said, I’m biased as I was cheering for Max). There were multiple “good” options, though.

Go green one lap earlier instead of wavering on the decision-making and leave the lapped cars in the running order. They’ll get blue flagged and Max has fresh softs. He probably gets to Lewis in two laps anyway.

Good god this is a bad take...

The saltiness of the British fandom is going to be enough to create a new Dead Sea in the English Channel.

Was pulling for Max, but what an absolute disaster of a race by the FIA. Bad rules, bad implementation of bad rules, bad decisions on bad implementations of bad rules, just an absolute shitshow from the very first corner.

This year I learned that in F1 you can change tires under a red flag, which I think is stupid, and will should be changed next year.

Not actually. There was one crash between them that resulted in ZERO points for both.

“yield or we both crash” was largely rewarded when Senna and then Schumacher deployed this strategy. Until the FIA consistently enforces policies drivers will continue to use anything that works. It’s not just Max.
