While I do think EVs are good for just about every use case, except for old farts like me who just love combustion cars for all their faults, it really is indeed our garbage infrastructure that keeps it from making a lot of sense for a lot of people.

As much as I hate Elon Musk and dislike Tesla for their business practices (not selling parts to people, locking out second-hand owners, etc) people REALLY need to take into consideration the “quality of life” when it comes to living with their product and associated charging infrastructure. That has been, and will…

It’s a lot more than just the payment method. It’s also the location of the chargers, the reliability and up-time, and the number of chargers.

Dang, your Jag STILL has an engine in it? My Jaaaaag doesn’t need something as plebeian as a smelly dino juice to move me from place to place in comfort.

Aptera would like a word with you.

The moment I read that it happened in Virginia I was like, “I’ll bet next month’s salary this woman is Black.” Did the Google search and sure enough, she is.

What surprises me is that she was teaching her kids that police are there to protect them. Of all people, she should know better. ACAB.

I haven’t done the Google search yet, but I’m going to bet good money that Jamee Kimble is Black. Who’s with me?

Shit, if only I had bought less iPhones or eaten less avocado toast I might be able to buy this beauty.

We need companies to compete in the Leaf and Bolt range ($25k to $35k) so average folks can buy them AND would probably net us some nice sporty hot hatches. The range won’t be much but THAT’S WHY WE NEED BETTER CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE! If fast chargers all used a standardized plug, a frictionless pay-to-charge form of…

That’s not ENTIRELY true. But kinda true. They were around in in the mid aughts and folded due to a number of factors — bringing in a CEO, global financial collapse, a society not ready for EV’s yet (Katy Perry was still singing about less masculine men being gay and driving “electrical cars”) — and disbanded for a…

As far as SEV’s go, let’s not forget about the Aptera. They are supposedly nearing production this year. Being brutally focused on lightweight, low rolling resistance, minimal drivetrain losses, and low drag coefficiency — that is, moving a car through the atmosphere and down the road as efficiently as possible —…

Agreed on basically all points. However, let’s not forget that Musk didn’t have any involvement with the original Tesla Roadster’s development. He came in and forced out the original founders when the car was basically completed.

According to a previous Jalopnik article, the name means Red Flag in Chinese. In Mandarin that would be pronounced “hoe-ng chee”. I do not know how to annotate the intonations in English, tho.

As someone who swapped a supercharged K24A2 into their Exige I would have to whole-heartedly agree with you. This is the most correct-est answer.

So you mean... Earning Man?

This is also my intuition, but my intuition has been wrong at least a dozen times.

Thank you very much for your wisdom and perspective that is clearly gained through the lens of time and experience. It’s interesting, the bit about moving equity into hard assets as a response to an anticipated correction in the market at large. What are your thoughts on the merit of this kind of move? I ask because…

Why does he keep referring to them as windmills? They’re wind turbines. Why is he still with us? So many questions for God up above. When perfectly fine human beings keel over at the desks at a young age from a brain aneurysm and somehow THIS guy is still around? 

I know this is for children, but the voice acting is atrocious.
