150 rolls of duct tape to stop a speeding Lambo is pretty impressive... for duct tape lol.

If only roads were in a vacuum of darkness 😔

True, but doesn’t give them an excuse to be inefficient. For reference, the new massive Lucid Gravity is targeting 450mi with a 115kw pack and over 800hp with a weight around 6k lb. The Hummer SUV manages 100 miles less with double the battery size and 3k lb heavier.

Not necessarily. The goal should be reducing weight and improving aerodynamics in order to increase range - which leads to smaller/cheaper/lighter batteries. Look at the Ioniq 6, Lucid Sapphire or Aptera. GM is lazy in this aspect and is just throwing giant batteries to solve the issue.

I never understood the argument for 100% vision. I’ve heard people counter saying “humans are the best drivers and use 100% vision; it’s tested and works”. True, but humans also use other combined senses, and last I checked I can’t see in the dark or through a snow storm.

But the Hummer is heavy because it requires a 200+kwh pack in order to achieve decent efficiency. They could throw in the hummer’s 1000hp trimotor, but if they keep the current 100kwh pack then the Lyriq would barely manage 150mi. Throw in the Hummer’s same pack and you’re looking at a 10,000 lb Lyriq. It’s a classic c…

But wouldn’t they would also need to double the battery capacity to match the Hummer’s and maintain acceptable efficiency? Not sure I’d want a 10k lb 1000hp crossover

Out of Spec is one of the few reviewers that gets a pass on this IMO. They’re very unbiased and provide legit real world testing, Tesla and non-Tesla alike. They “own” like 10 cars including a Polestar 1; they’re financially fine.

The Model 3 Highland should have been completely updated with this styling, with the Model 2 being the coupe version, and the Taxi being a service run by Tesla

Vinfast has produced tons of cars in other markets, only the VF8 is sold stateside. Don’t forget Vinfast as a whole is in more ways than not, Vietnam’s entire economy. They won't be going anywhere anytime soon. 

Ladies and gentlemen, the robotaxi you’ve all been waiting for!!

China. The good vans have gone to China.

I didn’t say anything about design being relevant to this truck. Just that the next time someone asks “do we need a designer?” I'll l show them this truck which clearly was all engineers and accountants

Save some money and get a nicely used Golf Sportwagen or Alltrack. I miss my ‘17 Alltrack so much, 110k miles without any issues.

The next time a client asks why designers are expensive or question if they’re worth it, I’ll show them the new postal van lol

Assuming it’s a uniqe part, then yeah, dividing the cost of tooling, R&D and everything by only 12 units = $$$$$$$

The Purosangue has a setup like this, although I doubt it functions as you outlined.

It looks the same, but clearly 100x better. That’s gotta be worth something?

Why am I interpreting this as a secret-gay-love-affair-suicide-pack? Long day? long day.

Unless they were going to replace all 800 cars with Teslas, I don’t see how 34 cars they plan to continue using is impacting Tesla at all... They already got that coin. This kinda just seems like a click bait headline
