I remember also this one:

I give you counter argument, you get in crash, you pass out, your passenger wants to get out, he or she is not obligated to search for manual to open door. Similarly if you let somebody drive your car, do you give them safety brief? Either way, if car looses power, locks should disengage for safety, it is not hard to…

I don’t have electric but not so old car and sensor repair costs are just ridiculous. And most are tied to many functions, and have no fallback. Front radar gone? Your cruise control won’t work and lights won’t auto enable because control module errors out.
Want to fix it yourself? Nah, dealer must “authenticate” and…

That sounds like a good thing. Most people don’t know how to use them anyway

In the “heat of the moment”, people panic and may not remember of “manual latch” or other override. Tesla is not the worst, I remember there was a car that had hidden strap somewhere.
I agree with article, manufacturers don’t design as well as they should, things should be fail-safe.

I really dislike those arguments that highways must be removed. If they are really not needed, then their use would be limited. Some quote some places where they got torn down, but in reality, alternative was built (like tunnel or ring road).
People will drive because it is convenient or economical.

I am a bit puzzled that “mass transit” reduces traffic.
It is not always true. Especially in North American cities. Mass transit targets specific locations while highways aggregate drivers from all over the place.
Example for me was NYC. It is great if you go to Manhattan, not so much in outer boroughs. 

That looks like EU-spec option, I seen them before.
Some countries don’t allow hitches unless you are towing, so hide-away option is nice.

I refuse to watch video just so he won’t get more “popular” or profit from it.
But did he actually record that dip as it happened?
I seen some offroad videos and people have all kinds of equipment that makes airplane blockboxes look like medieval toys.
If that guy was serious, there would be measurable data.

Actually it does make sense in a way.
Most “lower-income” buyers buy used cars. Which probably means most incentives won’t be available. First time buyers aren’t technically lower-income anymore. Taxi drivers need new cars and they put shit load of miles of them so extra cost will be offset by maintenance / “gas”…

I would actually like to see more cops on motorbikes or some e-bike platform.
There is so much traffic these days, big SUV won’t help you much, it will just get stuck there. Also they are big, they take space.
As others mentioned there is a need for SUVs, but not ALL vehicles should be SUVs. Ford Transit or even armored…

I would compare against VW offering since they are based on the same platform.
I found VW ID.4 as massive disappointed and I hope Q4 is much better.
Since I saw it in EU, I wanted to buy it, but will it be possible when you look at current dealer problem? ie, can you get it at MSRP

lots of concertina wire would ensure bloody results for thieves

I think it is always going to be us vs them as government wants to eliminate this “counter culture”. Nobody seems to try to find compromise (controlled “shows” or something).
Of course then you get another crowd of people just saying: go on the track (but where is the track and how much does it cost and when is it…

I was actually considering buying it to replace my aging car, but couldn’t find one that didn’t have crazy markup (standard today?). I even looked at ways to bring Holden badging to make it perfect. Of course, never happened, aging car, lasted 5 years longer.

Speaking of foreign cars that get rebadged here. Another…

As somebody who lived in NYC, that is not a wrong statement.
But I am more likely to get run down by bicyclist than car.

At this point, it is lawyer talk. Parents sue city to get payout, city pushed back.
None of these statements make any sense. Just lawyers arguing, filling their pockets while parents grief, taxpayer pays and the piece of shit that killed infant just chills in Rikers.

Carmakers / dealers make it very clear that they are after top dollar and not top customer. When market stabilizes, then it will be very clear who pays the price.

This is a standard feature of most European cars I saw for at least 2 decades.
So what is the news?

Complication comes from electronics/HV, not mechanical elements. They “should” be more reliable (remember how equipment died in Iraq due to clogged air filters?), but their field servicing is yet to be proven. So if you give grunt an old diesel truck or fancy EV, which will get back on the road faster?
