Why would Jeep want to embroil itself in a political controversy over property rights? What could it possibly have to gain? It's nice that you'll have your political beliefs affirmed, but there is some non zero percentage of jeep owners who own property and probably want to have a say over how it gets used and by…

No matter how good your pay, you can't afford to be picky about your employees if there is a union controlling whom you can hire, fire, and promote.

I had a truck affected by that recall, didn't take it in when I received the letter, but took it in a few years later when the switch failed.

How do you ensure that safety will be the number 1 concern of whatever unbiased body you establish?

I'm really curious about the presence of any limp modes and what it takes to push the car into one.

If you attempt to charge it at a supercharger station, how many times, at which time of the day, how many stalls were available for use, and did you somehow have to notify anyone of when you are planning to charge it, or had the charge arranged for you?

If you are able to get it on the track, how long can it go at race pace before it depletes the batteries?

We bought an FJ out of state some months ago. Found the car on autotrader, contacted the dealership, negotiated a price and trade in, got pre approved for financing. All that was left was to make the drive, sign the papers and drive off. Everything else was taken care of.

I feel for the guy, but there is no way he is getting a new car out of this.

We'll admit to creating an AI when it enslaves us and forces us to admit it. Until then, we'll deny machines can be intelligent.

Bah. If you really want your mind blown, find an electrical engineer and get them to explain to you the concept of holes (the absence of electrons) and how they move from place to place.

I'll lease a used car long before I lease a new one.

Roflmao! The JAG is more reliable and easier on the wallet!

There is so much wrong here. KERS siphons energy during braking, it does not provide the main braking force. Most of the braking is done by means of frictional brakes.

Before we get all excited about our crumbling highways (which look rather nice, at least around here), lets ask how much of the money maintaining them actually goes to pay the people patrolling them, and how much goes to the people who used to patrol them and now retired.

My understanding is that hybrids have 2 separate braking systems, one conventional and one regenerative. On mild braking, regenerative system does the job, but it's force is limited, so for hard braking has to be done by conventional brakes. One of the hallmark of a good system is how seamlessly it can switch from one…

Is the truck really controllable after such a jump? I honestly don't know. I figured it would bounce the driver around so much that he wouldn't be able to control the vehicle.

Lesson here is that if you want to beat an electric vehicle with a conventionally powered one, you want as long of a strip as possible.

Why is it that the average guard rail cannot stop the average tractor trailer? I understand that trucks are heavy, and pack a lot of force, but it seems that having the rails about a foot taller would prevent some accidents where the truck crosses over to the other side.

Respected, as in followed in both letter and spirit? Probably never. But there is a difference between bending rules and ignoring them all together.
