There’s a HUGE population that drives more than 200 miles each way every year. Vacations, road trips, etc.

Except that we both know that BMW will not have the i3 available at base price. The bulk of them are sold with the REX pushing it well over $50k.

If it makes you feel better, Nintendo Wii lets you be fat or skinny.

Adding hair & skin colors is trivial, given that there range of skin tones is already defined for emoji.

I’m kinda irritated that there aren’t “realistic” grey and white hair, yet they have options for blue and purple hair?

And where’s the option for NO hair, given that this game is for grownups?

No, it needs to go into the Envision and Terrain. Make those CUV wagons Volt-powered, and GW will sell them just fine.

One can drive SF-DC without spending days recharging...

If you need to sell a lot of cars, you cannot be at a $50k price point - you need to be at a $30-35k price point, like the average car. And make no mistake, $30-35k is NOT cheap. This is not a $20k Mitsubishi.

First, they have to build it...

The difference is that Chevy will actually sell the car, when they said they will, at the price they said, and that it will actually work. The Tesla will come out at least a year later, at a far higher price, and short on promised features.

First off, the Bolt is following the same design constraints as the BMW i3, but at half the price, to keep the weight down for what is primarily an in-town car.

Really, the big mistake is not packaging the thing as a previous-gen ‘Nox with a GMC badge and body. A slightly upmarket plug-in crossover wagon, and it’ll…

automakers warn that no matter how reliable these features are — and no matter what brand names such as Autopilot and Drive Pilot imply — drivers must remain alert and engaged at all times.

Stef, if Porsche wants to compete with the BMW X6 M along with the AMG GLE, I say, let them. Surely, a coupe-like SUV is more Porsche than a G-wagen.

Dude, compression shirts exist!

So what shoes *are* you wearing? Marshmallows?

I fucking love my VFFs.

While “barefoot running” (i.e. minimalist shoes) won’t necessarily help you run faster tomorrow, it appears to help people log significantly more miles each year, simply because they don’t get injured from constant heel-striking and turned ankles. Not only do they prevent miles from going down while you’re injured,…

And then there are motorcycle crashes, which invariably end up in the ER or the morgue...

No, this is the baby brother to the baby brother to the GAU-8.

A lot of the code development pace depends on how good the software management team is, and how well the code itself was designed. If they had a good team, a good architect, and a good manager who really knows what he fuck he’s doing, they could knock it out with a lot more parallelism and speed. However, the history…
