Especially the “However, many households sell their vehicle before they get there” line is dumb, because the vehicle doesn’t stop being environmentally friendly when it moves to its second or third owner. Who cares if it takes until the 2nd owner until it becomes a net positive for the environment if the first owner…

In the U.S., the typical non-luxury EV needs to log between 28,069 and 68,160 miles before netting any emissions benefits.

Unless people are sending their cars to the junkyard at 69k miles, I don’t see what the issue is. Today most cars can make it past 150k before ending up in the junkyard. 

Whether they pollute less or not on the whole, EV’s decrease our dependency on foreign oil, which is absolutely a good thing.

99% of cops give the other 1% a bad name.

ACAB is as true as the sun rising.

Everybody keeps saying “what people really want to buy are cheap cars” and I just point them to the Mirage’s sales numbers to prove that no they don’t.

The X stands for X-Treme!

Jalopnik: “Car companies need to make cheap cars again, cars have gotten way too expensive”

They’re a cool punk band from LA!

Elon, that you? 

6,542 guns were confiscated just in 2022 from attempting to carry them through airport security checkpoints in the US.

CLEAR relies on the AMEX credits they give to cardholders in order to keep customers.  Without it, they’d lose a ton of customers.  Even with the credit, I dropped our family’s when the frequent flyer discounts were cut and the price for additional family members was increased.  I also had issues changing my wife’s…

I just renewed my TSA-Pre status for another 4 years. Let me say, as a member of the legitimate fast track program, this private shitty company CLEAR needs to GO. Kick them out of airports. Of course, politicians love privatization, so they won’t.

I’m in the market for an EV because I understand that $3.50 a gallon gasoline is a reprieve, not the future.  Any time Saudi Arabia wants to fuck with us, they can turn off the spigot (they also now own the largest gasoline refinery in the US! go USA) and send prices to $10 a gallon. Moving to EVs, whether by hybrid,…

No one called it vegan leather here other than you.  GM calls it synthetic leather.  GM has been doing it for years under various names and styles.

Only if you ignore performance and cost/mile to drive. A Mach E Premium is under $50k, does a sub-5 second 0-60, and costs about 3 cents per mile to fuel. What small ICE SUV does a sub-5 0-60 and a mid-13 quarter mile?

Likely thinking of the Equinox EV; Blazer EV was never 30's

Isn’t that a bit misleading? Considering a model Y starts at 47k same as the 2lt Blazer listed? As well Chevy seems to still be offering a 1lt model later let alone the Equinox EV that should be had for cheaper. Competition from super cheap Chinese brands seem like an interesting development, what kind of parallels to…

Welcome to 20-fucking-23. This is how cars are made now. No one cares that you have a 65 Mercury Comet that weighs 2700 lbs. A 718 Cayman would still beat your 65 Mercury Comet in every objective performance metric, while keeping the occupants alive in the unfortunate event of a head on collision. Not something I can…
