This is a worse take. The bolt was a great EV when released, but GM refused to look at it after release, market it or educate dealers about it. Hell, it is still competitive with the latest crop of EVs, and tech has come a long, long way in the 3 years since.

...I actually like that a lot.

They have explicitly said this is about aerodynamics.

Yeah, I've never seen a goalpost move quite so much as it has for the range required of an electric car for people to start buying them.

Just abuse the shit out of it in 2021 so you can get a new pack ;)

The whole rear end was changed.

In his youth, my dad had a summer job torching tent caterpillar nests in an apple orchard with a flamethrower. It seems like this is a natural extension of that practice, though I’m not sure it’s commonplace anymore.

The Model S most likely can't complete a lap without battery pack heat soak nerfing its power.

What's the weird cutout panel on the driver's door?

Ehhh, I’ve driven plenty of cars I don’t fit well in, often bigger vehicles, surprisingly enough. The new Camry has headroom issues, the Lexus rx’s windshield starts noticeably diffracting light due to its curvature at my eyeliner, etc. I've actually had much more luck with compacts (mazda3, i30, mr2, multiple…

My friend owns an sw20 (2nd gen) mr2 and we can both drive it very comfortably. I haven’t noticed any approaching headroom issues, and there’s more than adequate legroom. I’d give it a try if that’s the only thing holding you back.

The point is that the exhausts have to be so quiet, and luxury cars are so insulated to protect from road noise, that there would be almost no engine noise in the interior without augmentation. Of course there's no language in an auto noise regulation bill stipulating sound augmentation in the interior.

This is a pity. The only time I went was on the last year of partial gravel, and one of my favorite moments was during one of the motorcycle heats. My friends and I were on the outside of a long gravel right-hand sweeper. A pack of three motorcycles was blasting past, and the one in the rear was passing on the outside…

Got a massive crack in the windshield of my rental Camry with all that lane assist wizardry in it. Desk worker said it’ll cost a couple thousand, Google tells me the windshield itself is $850, then there’ll be tons of labor to mate all the sensors up properly, etc. Card perk looks like it’ll reimburse me, and…

Looks a lot better than I thought it would from the camo pics. Still not good, though. I think a different spoiler would make worlds of difference.

Isn’t this how it used to be in nullsec? I seem to recall this exact function when I was an active player a number of years ago. I might have to start playing again, this will greatly increase the viability of nullsec banditry. Maybe I’ll be able to get some of that juicy goonswarm industrial loot.

My grandmother drove until my dad moved in full-time to take care of her 3mo before her death. It woul take her a full 3s to move her foot from gas to brake due to her extremely swollen legs, and she was in a moderate state of mental decline. While she only drove four times a week, one round trip to the store and one…

Same, but it kinda got quashed by the recession. It was great in Forza 4, though.

Meh. I don’t think the cars are too large, and they aren’t too heavy either. Max fuel is 110kg which, while significant, isn’t the end of the world.

Yeah, I'd imagine cutting out the front of the unibody and then welding/bolting in a new subframe for driveline and suspension.
