People who think they need 300 mile range typically only need it a VERY small amount of time with the rest of the time being a much smaller range. The answer for them is really a PHEV that will eliminate 90% of fuel consumption and all the range needed for long drives with zero range anxiety.

We can agree to disagree on that statement. 

Instead of putting more nannies on cars, how about we enforce the rules we already have?  

I feel like the mid range trims are incorporating pleather as an alternative for cloth seats. Leather has usually been on upper range trims anyway and that's generally the case today. In the past the mid range spec would've been cloth.

“Between the increasing cost, environmental issues (i.e. cow farts and the chemicals used to tan the hides) and other issues like veganism, animal welfare, etc., leather is rapidly becoming to the 21st century what fur was to the late 20th century.”

“I think overall downsizing of vehicles as they transition to full electric.”

I know it isn’t exactly the case here but wouldn’t be trivial for Tesla to flag and call the police on a stolen car whenever it stops for charging on their system? And on top of that just by how highly connected they are plus the cameras why would anyone think it’s a “stealable” car unless you immediately dismantle it

Thank you for actual technical talk instead of Elon bad or Elon good.

I mean, Elon aside, their lineup is starting to feel stale, there’s very little development happening that I can tell. No announcements of new models or model updates, Obvious issues getting around production hurdles, meanwhile, manufacturers are beginning to release actual interesting BEVs that people might be more…

Funny, that’s EXACTLY what I commented on just yesterday:

Makes no sense either. Texas has a huge cycling scene and only hurts themselves not handling these incidents properly. Over and over again..

I used to ride thousands of miles a year and now I rarely ride on the road at all.  Cellphones, talk radio, and just irrational hatred are too much to bear - I’m not risking my life because some jackass read on 4chan that all cyclists are communists.  And the ones who aren't actively trying to hit you, a substantial…

Changing societal behaviors, with the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims is terrorism.

Rights are in jeopardy and the masses only care about gas prices for their bloated vehicles. We have a new single issue voter: gas prices.

I will not stand for CTS-V slander. That thing handles like a dream for such a big car. GM’s chassis engineers have been knocking it out of the park for almost 20 years, since the Holden Monaro came out. 

Oldsmobile Alero coupe comes to mind.

I really hate that I like the jenner best, not as a mustang, but as a car design. (I hate it because of the name which I associate with the loathsome Kardashians).

I maybe get the not being able to sue a co-worker, but seems like not being able to sue your employer for damages is suspect, and leaves employees unprotected

I’m clearly in the minority around here, but I actually like it. If I didn’t need to do truck stuff with my truck, I’d be interested in having a vehicle that says “My day job is fighting Terminators.”
