Hey I’m just glad they’re going JDM with a ‘94 Nissan GTR.  Because surely they can’t be using an R35 GT-R for a movie set in 1994.  Also is Bumblebee ever going to actually talk or nah

You’re burying the lede here - that the yoke steering wheel will pop right off.  Model S reservation holders rejoice!

I cringe every time I read one of Shilling’s posts.  “I mean, yes?”  WTF does that even mean?  Why?  And why is a Plaid better but a normal S not?  

Conversely, just buy a SRT Hellcat Widebody Redeye Super Stock Threat Level Midnight edition which has pretty much all the Demon gear and goodies and makes 807 hp.  Demon badge off of Amazon and you’re set.

People choose the most random hills to die on these days.  

It kinda feels like every auto designer has to copy the other.  When the Bangle-butt came out, everyone thought it looked like crap but then every luxury barge started copying that style.  Recent examples include the Cybertruck light bar which is somehow the hallmark of every EV truck (Rivian, Ford Lightning, etc) and…

Would your average MAGAt buy foreign?  Feels like they’d rock a F150 or Silverado instead

Maybe they’re actually a cat, and can’t resist anything “pspspspspn” related

Yes this is very strange.  I feel like they were more popular in the late 90s/early 00's, then they kind of went away.  Now they’re coming back.  Old tech, it should be standard for all your reasons.

Sounds like they were sticking to the lake they were used to though.  Maybe they were moving too fast.

I love Teslas and generally tolerate Musk but when he said “Input is error” he lost me.  Me wanting to select a gear is not “error.”  I do NOT want a computer deciding for me what direction I want to go in, I can damn well make one shift or press one button or turn one dial, whatever tf they want to do.  On paper,…

Yes, test vehicles have been seen with a normal one.

A straight steering wheel. Maybe I’m OCD but I cannot abide a SW that is even one or two degrees off center on a flat road. I get that many roads are slightly slanted for water drainage, but when multiple alignments can’t get a SW straight it rustles my jimmies something fierce.  And most people I talk to don’t even…

Memory seats are a non-negotiable option for me for any car purchase. If only the center rearview mirror placement was saved as well.

I can’t fathom how an automotive blogger writes this comment:

K I just scanned the comments and there’s not one mention of the robot zombies.  I feel this is a grave oversight for io9 commenters.  

2 minute video. Maybe 18 seconds of actual demo of visual effects overlaid onto practical.

I’m OK with this provided there is clear communication and transparency about deployment, data use and rollout. And a tweet from Musk a week after redditors discover malfeasance is not ok.

I have low price loyalties, which invariably means Costco. I go at like 7:30 am on the way in to work, no lines.

Extra cost, and most people just take their car to a quick-change oil place where it’s an easy drain and they don’t need to worry about angle of oil.  For the rest of us, Fumoto.
