Of course that’s true. This is a test that is completely useless. I have to imagine the thing can only do it a few times before the charge is completely shot and there’s no application for it anywhere.

Exactly. The fools!

What’s dumb is that it needlessly takes away from something that is still ridiculously impressive. I’m not an Elon stan, the guy’s an idiot. And other than forcing it to happen, likely had nothing to do with the engineering of this thing. But it’s still an electric truck towing a Porsche and beating another Porsche (su…

Wow. $91k is so much money. That’s wild.

These days, decent Miatas are actually getting kind of expensive. I should have bought one years ago, when NA and ND were basically everywhere for $2k. 

It’s hilarious that these can be a distraction and need to stop but the 30x80 foot light up billboards with moving graphics and slideshow ads are completely fine. Not distracting at all.

Lol. That’s awesome.

I pay for comp, collision, and liability (“full”) for three cars in NY and I pay $2,400 a year.

Cool. Sounds like you have a dope life.

Unfortunately, dumber drivers have come to a point that I’m not sure even the best public transportation would be something they’d ever actually use. They either want to sip their iced-mocha-god-only-knows-what Starbucks which is inscrutably sitting next to their hot-pink Target-branded Stanley cup full of ice and…

Unfortunately, we’re the minority. Seems like a horrifying majority of people see vehicles purely as a means to a destination and another appliance. I’d hazard a guess that it’s something like 75% of car owners. If they could talk to their car like they do Siri or Alexa or whoever else it would just make it all the…

I’m a little bit surprised that it doesn’t taco in half when you go over a speed bump. I assume the mantra of ‘add lightness’ means that everything that was there was probably necessary, and the car relied on the bracing the roof provided. With it gone, who knows how different everything is...

Oooooo. That Accord SI-R. Hnnggg.. 

Wouldn’t be surprised if they carved out some exemption for themselves because they’re emergency responders or whatever bullshit.

Yeah, I think meaningful enforcement of cellphone bans would make a bigger impact to traffic safety than just about anything else. My office is on a busy midtown block in a medium city, and I have to wait a few minutes to cross the street. I would say 7/10 people are actively using their phone as they drive by. I…

Fully agree. With a PHEV in my life I could realistically start worrying about the age of the gasoline in my tank before I really needed to worry about going to the gas station.

I’ve never met someone with a diesel delete who wasn’t the absolute worst.

EV chargers as a business really just doesn’t make a ton of sense to me now that most EVs are getting realistic range of 250+ miles. Every EV owner I know of (maybe a dozen or so) has a charger at home. They charge up over night (or every other, or every every other) and don’t need a charger on the go unless they are…

Yeah I just don’t really get the end game here.

Lol no doubt.
