You kind of can have best of both worlds. Especially popular in EU.
Get a trailer. You still get your fun daily, and in rare cases when you need to haul stuff, just attach the trailer and off you go. It is misconception in USofA that you need a truck to tow.

If only the rear turn signals were forced to be amber, the story would be complete

I was never with a girl that was impressed, few friends were, but for most part, all girls can be disgusted by some cars.

This.

There is not new in IP. Actually it happens all the time. These kind of rulings force offender to quickly settle to minimize losses. Either there will be some cross-IP sharing or penalties. 

I don’t think Tesla will go down anytime soon, there is still very high demand. But eventually EV stop being novelty and become more of mainstream. Then true competition will drive the market.
Honestly, I want a EV, but very few cars offer a fair balance. It is either cheap ecobox with electric motor, or premium car…

As Darwin said:

Reminds me of classic example when they once said that 20% of meat is 100% chicken!

There is nothing innovative about it. This is used for driveways for decades. Pex under slap used in building for winter heating is a known solid practice.

Infotainment is actually a big deal.

Use touchscreen for turn signals? do they want any and all car functions to be done by touchscreen? what’s next? rotate that screen to be turn wheel?
I bet Musk used to drive BMW before where turn signals where optional

I would like to see the actual numbers instead of nice key words.

I used to live in Brooklyn, close to Newtown Creek, a lovely spot by water treatment plan and history of heavy oil pollution that is probably still getting cleaned up. It doesn’t surprise  me at all that disasters like that don’t happen more often. It is not surprise that neighboring properties misplace some products…

I seen some that looked a bit like that, but always thought the picked panels from junkyard and forgot to respray

I don’t mind integrations if they make sense. Additional info and auxiliary controls are cool, but companies move away from standards. Now it is all screen and all touchscreen. Forget aftermarket. I for fact, enjoyed standard double-DIN slots

I see problem that VW is trying to mimic what BMW did with i3 which I think didn’t work out that well in the end. Typical people just want cars, not toys, something more familiar. I don’t want so many gadgets and questionable reliability. That’s why plug-in hybrids are good intermediate step. For example, GTE is a…

Regular Golf was quite affordable nice car and offers decent utility. But if you want want more, then GTI is right around corner. If you don’t care about utility, there is bigger Jetta.

From European perspective, you don’t want to fold into “inferior” american brands. Hence Opel and Vauxhall (isn’t that simply RHD Opel?) must stay.

Oh keep the French brands, I was punished once by being told to drive this:

I seen people overloading trailers all the time, often they are doing without realizing. Especially on small SUV or even sedan, they go to home depot and load so much crap that you can see rear suspension compressed to max.
