Yes, that makes sense. Greedy monocled capitalists are so greedy they wont take money from people who want to buy their products, because those people aren’t “worthy”.

I think ford already thought of that

So people who have no intention of going off road should waste money and gas on off road capable vehicles just so that you can buy one? What?

I can think of 2 reason why the troller is not on sale in the US.

Half life 3 confirmed!

Sorry, that was a mild jab at all the people that seem very outraged by your columns making this “not a real car site”. I’ll make sure to either tone down my sarcasm, or make it more obvious in the future.

Less than $1k/yr. If it breaks $1k/yr for 2 years, or $2k in a single year, I’m going to ditch it.

I for one thing you are completely wrong. The R1S is the bike you should buy for the track! why? Because its cheaper, and you’re going to crash it, sooner or later. In fact, you should probably by a 4 year used R1, or better yet, two of them.

I have a hard time trusting the word of an autojournalist that doesnt know how to read his own power chart. Doesn’t make it a bad car, of course.

Dude the motors drive the wheels thru open diffs. Thats not torque vectoring.

The question is, can it do it again?

I have no idea what caused this, but it isn’t a high side. A highside happens when the bike oversteers and begins to rotate around the front wheel (sliding the rear), then the rear wheel suddenly regains traction, and angular momentum causes the bike to tilt suddenly.

The rear tire was sliding. Whatever happened there, it wasn’t cause by too little rear brake.

Lifehacker seems to ignore a rather logical reason for brand loyalty: Solving informational asymmetry.

Bikes limit your range because you need to eat. Seriously, I’m in pretty good shape, so I can ride 100 miles in a day. On a superlight bike, carrying only water and a few small snacks. I wont be able to do that several days in a row, and the range will drop quickly if I have to switch to a mountain bike, and carry…

No idea with regards to the X’s handles, but it does have those doors that look some prone to breaking (could be wrong). Let’s wait and see on the 3. To me, that would be the most impressive of tesla’s accomplishments.

Bikes are better than walking, but for most situation I’d pick a horse. You can carry more luggage on a horse, and most importantly, you can fight from horseback. A bicycle makes you virtually defenceless, unless you can outrun your opponents.

Batteries should be the easier problem to deal with. The acid is nasty, but it wont literally melt your hands.

That will be fun for a little while, until the various unneccesary gizmos start to break. How long before the dust kills the power electronics, or at least jams up the fancy door handles?

Clearly the best strategy for the near term is either steal cars from other wastelanders, or just use all vehicles left over by the departed. There is no reason to maintain, unless you manage to get a vehicle that is much better than everything else that available (an MRAP perhaps?)
