This should have been done in so many vehicles but automakers missed the boat. Some of us in the midwest drive by 10 stations with E85 every day. We should have had higher horsepower and better fuel economy with E85 but we never go it.

Correlation is not the same as causation.
Yep.
I’m willing to pay a little more for tools made in friendlier/less authoritarian countries than China, but a big part of that is getting better (or at least known) quality. It’s hard for me to justify what some of the American made tools cost since I’m not a professional user, so I’m not going to pay 5-10 times as…
Unions exert a negative impact on economic efficiency. Unions are cartels of the Democratic Party.
I think the EV credit should only apply to cars under $35k, or make it more progressive. If you have $60,000 to buy a Tesla, you don’t need a rebate. Get that shit outta here.
translation: find a way to make EVs cheaper, instead of making the government pay for it.
Most people are also road tripping in something that gets better than 12 mpg.
It is clear that when the original prototype was released, it was extremely early in the development process and my guess is that it was just a (non-running) model with last-minute scraped together sheetmetal body
To be fair, if I go onto Ram’s website and check all of the boxes on a TRX (without special edition), I’ll be at around $99,000.
I was indeed waiting for some, um, crank, to say they didn’t want power windows. Yeah, I’ll stick with my power windows thank you. Where’s the person that wants to have their manual choke and have to adjust the points on their distributor? sheesh!
People pretending that crank windows are more reliable and have finer control are always funny. I remember tons of crank windows that broke, and tons that just weren’t particularly exact in their use.
Is it also unfair to pick apart a almost 10 year old car Model S cars from Tesla now for its shoddy build quality?
While your image is clearly terrible craftsmanship, this vehicle is an early prototype, build predominately by hand. I am happy to criticize Tesla, but I’ll criticize a production-model
It’s unfair to pick apart a prototype for its specific issue related to non-serial build quality. General issues and serial build quality will be enough to pick it apart when its time.
that’s an American family road trip though.
You can’t directly convert GBP MSRP to USD and claim it is relatively expensive. This crossover will probably start in $40k range USD. Which would undercut other(ie. Volvo XC60 recharge, BMW X3 xDrive30e) PHEV crossovers by at least $5k. It looks like this crossover, will be Mazda’s first contemporary vehicle, to to…
2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6 also did 0-60 in 5.8s. While that was and is respectably fast, the race of 0-60 in 0s over the past decade has made any time that doesn’t start with a 4, or even a 3, sound slow.
Yes, calling a family SUV that can hit 60 in 5.8 seconds slow is absurd. Slow compared to what, a McLaren? It’s a vehicle for picking up groceries and shuttling your kids around.
