It’s been nearly a year since I’ve posted anything on Jalopnik.
I logged in specifically to let you, Ballaban, know that you are leader in the rebellion against the ridiculous notion that SUVs are better.
They just aren’t.
This is the Small Car Manifesto. It is our call to arms. A Battle-cry.

I do recognise your point.
Using your argument, AutoPilot actually requires two initial inputs.
Having driven my classmate’s vehicle, this screen pops up when enabling the system to be turned on in the settings. This is so you don’t accidentally engage AutoPilot. It will only be enabled if you accept the prompt below.
In addition to this option…
Originally, there were only manual transmissions where you had to row your own gears. Automatic transmission were new at one point in time.
By that logic, an automatic transmission should automatically shift into reverse without any input. It should just know that I want to go backwards because “automatic”.
I’ll bite.
My exact thought as well.
It’s shocking how direct it is. Almost as if it had already been produced 20 years ago and this was its 4th or 5th generation through natural automotive evolution.
Cute.
I am no expert but I do understand that shit happens in any project. You cannot control all the variables. This is a fact.
Supply Chains and how they work.

You clearly do not understand how cars are made. Cars are worldwide entities like most products now.
As mentioned by Musk, cars are made up of several thousand different parts from a myriad of suppliers. Each one of these parts have variables like raw materials, machining at the factory etc. These raw materials and…
You are just going to have to get Jiggy with it.
You should start digging into Lithium production as well.
Almost everyone has seen this photo, the photo in the top section is actually a copper mine (Escondia Copper Mine in Chile). Don’t believe me? Search up the mine yourself.
Unfortunately, this is not how batteries work in terms of performance.
On paper, yes, removing batteries makes the car lighter. However, there is a reason the 70D and 90D (non-performance) have roughly ~100hp difference even though the motors are absolutely identical in both models.
The reason is the larger battery can…
How could I forget!? That was definitely a favourite
Is this the first recall due to the collective stupidity of humanity?
