I mean it is a prototype so let’s be fair. However, anybody who had some Stainless Steel appliances in their kitchen can attest of how much of a nightmare this is going to be to keep in clean, not dented (SS has very little tolerance to marking)....etc I worked for Peugeot/Citroen back 20 years ago studying aluminum…

what someone on Oppo pointed out this morning that I think is being overlooked is that the Hummer EV does 0-60 in 3 seconds. That means it will be much easier for it to be going quickly than, say, a Silverado HD 3500 which is closer to 8 seconds. All this is purely speculation, of course, but it just seems unwise to…

For a single panic stop from 60-70 and modern ABS, I’m gonna go ahead and assume that most vehicle brakes these days can handle it without fade. The biggest factor in braking distance is likely to be tire compound rather than weight, and EVs are likely to be equipped with low rolling resistance tires, which I assume…

Ok, not “affordable”, but the X5 PHEV that we are buying is about the same price as the gas model before a $7500 credit:

. GM has ditched them altogether. In the long term, that’s the correct move.

The concepts and attitudes that make Toyota a market leader (efficient manufacturing, continuous improvement, long term focus, temperamentally conservative mindset) are not secrets nor difficult to understand, they are just difficult to consistently implement.

Kardashians are famous and reality TV is a thing. Don’t underestimate the stupidity of people.

I very much doubt EVs will follow the price curve of consumer electronics. The technology to make a plasma panel back then was expensive - but the materials needed to make one were not - it’s fundamentally sand, plastic, steal, and a bit of copper and whatnot. An EV need s crapload of VERY expensive materials to make,…

You could also just save a crapload of money and buy a PHEV with a battery just big enough for your daily commute on electrons, and a VERY efficient ICE for when you need to go to Grandma’s house. But that just isn’t cool I guess. Nor will it go “plaid”.

Are you sure about that? Venezuela leads the world in mass shootings, despite a total ban on civilian gun ownership, and of course Mexico is also a consistent leader in homicide despite some of the strictest gun control laws in the world. The problem with stuff like this is another word that starts with G,

These Corolla wheels trigger my OCD like none other

Second take:

Not every car needs effing black wheels!

Almost every comment in this thread so far is generally accepted enthusiast groupthink already.

Yeah, no. That movie is a goddamned classic. It was a Spielberg/Zemeckis/Gale production, the same team that went on to make Back to the Future.

The new Jalopnik drinking game is “spot the egregious error”. Better have the detox unit at your local hospital on standby though because alcohol poisoning is a distinct possibility.

It’s Raph, he’s more interested in bicycles

I was blown away at the idea that car debt somehow multiplied 15x... makes way more sense this way.

Loved the image caption with the image where no GMCs are to be seen, too

This must be one of those “over-the-air updates” I’ve been hearing so much about.

Are you brave enough to bash the F-150, Silverado or Ram 1500 in the comments section?
