Is it just me, or does it actually feel like the normals (not-car people) might be starting to turn on Musk and Tesla? I’m very conscientious of how small the car community is relative to the general population (I actually don’t have any “car friends” in real life, its just all you freaks), so I’m pretty keen to when

The only full autonomous car belongs to Knight Industries, and even they are having big problems with their Automated Roving Robot prototype.

Yo, Ken, I’m really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but I just got to say that Colin McRae is the most famous Subaru driver of all time.

A P90D can hit 60 mph in under 150 feet.

Hang on, the dam thing doesn’t even have a seat sensor? The technology that every car has to disable a passenger airbag? The supposedly super technologically advanced future car doesn’t even have a seat sensor to make sure someone is actually in the seat?

Elon Musk stated recently that Auto Pilot could not be used w/o someone in the driver’s seat. It’s proves again that he’s a liar or not as smart as people think.

How does it not have something as simple as a seat pressure sensor?  Hell, my 11 year old Xterra can tell when my 55lb dog is in the passenger seat.

It’s an older one, but you can find many of the ‘Victory by Design’ episodes on Youtube (and elsewhere, for money).  Probably one of my favorite ‘car shows’ of all time - you’ve got deep history, accessible engineering talk, and cars actually being driven by a former racer Alain De Cadenet.   

absolutely agree.  hp and 0-60 times are getting comical for general market daily drivers.

I worry when I see local needs standards applied nationally.
CA needs CA emissions standards for a reason.
FL needs roof uplift standards for a reason.
KY needs dry counties for a reason.

Not all of these standards should apply outside of the area of concern.

I’m here to advocate for Throttle Stop Garage. Just a low-key Canadian guy in his garage doing careful and detailed videos about fabrication, metalwork, and carbon fiber as he builds a sick-but-unassuming old Volvo restomod. He shares his successes and failures, do’s and do-not-do’s - and talks about the realities of

PHEV makes a lot more sense with limited battery production. You can build 10 times as many PHEVs with the same battery supply. And those PEHVs can use the BEV mode about 90% of the miles. The simple math on that works out to PHEVs instead of BEVs resulting in about 9 times as many EV miles by using the batteries more

This is what happens when you let Forged In Fire competitors handle your heat treating.

Tesla said it obeys decisions of government departments

I agree 15 years is maybe doable in a competitive setting where there is huge financial incentive (like the cell phone industry), but from a largely uncompetitive government regulated industry? No way.

So can the protestors “Stand their ground”?

The plane was fresh off of an 18-year restoration and may never fly again.

It was always going to happen (and even already kind of did with the laferrari and SF90).
just like those newfangled “aerodynamics for people who can’t build engines”, “rear-mid mounted engines for people who can’t set up a chassis right”, and “Turbochargers for people who still can’t build engines

I’ll go as far as saying there are four generations. RT/10 - GTS - ZB - VX. the in-generation differences of the ZB don’t strike me as anything other than model refreshes. yes I understand that the engine received serious upgrades within the ZB generation, but it's not enough for me to budge.
