Also his whole dishwasher thing? Like I get that rationally and logically dishwashers are faster, cleaner, and more efficient, but that’s overlooking that in countless cultures ‘doing the washing up’ is an act of love and care that people do to show appreciation for each other.

Best counterargument against it that I’ve heard is that hydrogen isn’t a fuel, it’s an energy storage device. That means it’s lossy when produced (mostly from fossil fuels, as of 2024), lossy when transported, and lossy when used. All that means it’s pretty inefficient all said and done and you’re better off just…

And cost them all that watch time and ad revenue? YouTube will bend over backwards to pander to these idiots as long as they keep their watch hours up. 

GDi was hardly the only problem with later engines but yeah, the port-injected era was a good one at Hyundai.

I do see more Kais and Hyundais running around these days, but it pales compared to the number of Teslas.

Liberty here, Cherokee in all other countries. 

I don’t understand this take. To me the 2019 is hideously overstyled with too many creases, swoops, and worst of all that UNIBROW. The new one takes the nice shape and fixes all of that crap. 

One is an XJ Cherokee one is a KJ Cherokee.

No Asian brands but I suspect that will change as the M3 and MY also age out in a couple of years.

That’s fair enough. I just think that local emissions reductions shouldn’t be discounted as ‘useless’ if they are able to improve the lives of the people who live in the area. LA smog is already thousands of times better than it used to be thanks to CARB.

Just because it won’t have some grandiose global impact doesn’t mean the folks living there aren’t going to appreciate not having narrowboat diesel fumes in their faces each morning. Pointing out things like this is overlooking the populist benefit of reducing local emissions. Surely fewer emissions along the canals…

The Buick is the only car from an automaker that I would trust for parts & service.

Nissan really should have started with re-badging the Patrol from the get go with the first gen Armada.

You don’t see many European or Asian cars with fake wood like this. Most of theirs is real,

The Outback is a significantly larger car that competes with the Crown Signia, Blazer, Passport, Murano, etc. so it had better be more refined. Subaru’s Equinox competitor is the Forester.

Yeah I wasn’t suggesting tint, but it’s weird that we live in 2024 and it doesn’t seem like there’s a simple solution for that. I looked into ceramic coatings but it sounds like they can also cause weird distortion issues at night. 

IDK, that’s why I’d like them to add a head up display or just a separate driver screen. First thing I do in any car I drive is figure out how to turn the center screen off. Hyundai and Volvo make it very easy.

I genuinely wish someone could develop an effective windshield heat-shield/reflector product, though. I drive hours through the desert summer sometimes and the sun coming through the windshield onto my thighs is searing—I usually just put a towel over them but in general there’s too much thermal energy coming through…

I dunno, materials were genuinely higher quality in the preceding ‘90s to early ‘00s era cars though. It’s hard to capture material quality in an image, but it’s easy to imagine the softer touch points in this Concorde vs a ‘00s 300C.
