Agreed on diesel extended plug in hybrids. Don’t know why that didn’t become a thing. Running at a single, or multiple pre selected speeds, it could be made cleaner. A lot of the pollution problems for diesels occurs during acceleration. I felt GM missed the opportunity to put an efficient small diesel engine in the…

Jalopnik’s anti-hybrid diesel lovers, who for years argued that hybrids were unnecessary because diesels get such great mileage if only we could get them all in the US, have been really really quiet lately.

If it’s intended for science journals, by all means. If it’s intended for people who have no reason to know what Kelvin is, and so saying 2 degrees Kelvin would mean nothing to Americans, and wouldn’t mean much more for everyone else who uses Celsius. Or did you mean they should use -271 degrees Celsius?

Highly endorse wifi range extenders. I’ve got two of them and they work great. A third one (the first I bought), a cheap no-name brand, failed within a month.

This is all because enthusiasts aren’t doing their part in recruiting new and equally enthusiastic drivers when they’re too young to drive, to keep the culture running.

That box is a little small. Maybe you need an SUV to carry a larger one?

^This. For the investment, the S-Class just isn’t a big enough market anymore to make building a competitor worthwhile. There’s room for mainly one or two competitors to make money. And you’d have to steal market share from both, which isn’t an easy proposition. So why bother?

“If you build them, we will buy them, when they’re five years old and depreciated to next to nothing,”tryhard Jalops said.

Run at low speed for normal operation, but a performance mode that let’s it operate at variable to high speed for a high electric draw?

All someone needs to do is change a few words here and there, and you have the perfect Trump ad.

If an astronaut became detached during an EVA, one of those pistols could be used as a life saving propulsion device.

The road is not the problem. Seeing other cars, motorcycles, bicycles, people and baby carriages as well as downed trees or powerlines, is the problem. And yes, American system do use fixed structures for navigation and have an accurate internal three dimensional representation of those structure. This article is…

1. BEVs have fewer moving parts than any IC car. By about 100:1, so they’ll need less maintenance. If they’re built as robustly as a refrigerator, it can go a decade without significant maintenance, especially if the motor/regenerators do 80 to 90 percent of the braking.
2. The $35,000 Tesla is a huge break in price…

They do that too.

For youth sports, nothing beats mites hockey.

Those autonomous features don’t work well even in SoCal light drizzle and fog. I can’t imagine what they do in a white out snow storm.

You make the value of city centers more valuable, the prices go up and poor people get driven out. Go figure.

Just looking at that, I think they could get more holes in by staggering the rows of holes and spacing them closer together.

Internal combustion range is exactly as variable. My 23 mpg city Focus ST gets 18 mpg in my part of the city. We have hills and a lot of stop signs.

What you are saying is that we need a new, more realistic fuel economy standard for all cars than we have now. Current internal combustion range estimates, are also…

Not sure what your jelly bean threshold is. Does this look like a jelly bean?
