Funny you should say that...because I’ve only seen them (with and without Manufacturer’s plates) around GM’s tech center...

That 228 hp is also moving way less weight around.

Tesla has a lot more um, “devoted” customers though. I don’t think any other automaker could make a car as hideous as the Model 3/Y and have it sell in the volume Tesla manages to.

They’re capable of...over promising and under-delivering on literally everything they’ve ever made? They’re not special in that regard.

Related is when you’re in a left-turn light, which never holds for very long, and without fail someone is ALWAYS asleep at the wheel when the light is green. If I’m the 2nd car in line, the 1 car in front of me always takes half of the green period to remember where the accelerator is; if I’m at the back of a line of…

The first professional race I ever attended was the IndyCar race the 2007 Detroit Indy Grand Prix. My favorite IndyCar driver, Tony Kanaan, won. It was the 2nd of only 2 wins on road/street circuits he would get in his IndyCar career, with all the rest of his wins being on ovals. Couldn’t have asked for a better…

Just become a cop, then everyone that doesn’t roll out the red carpet for you is a bad guy all over again!

Yeah their cars have gotten progressively uglier with each new release (which is weird, because the Model S has had its looks improved during the same time the other models were released). I’d consider a Model S if I had the money and Elon wasn’t involved with the company, but you couldn’t pay me to drive any other…

While I’m also not a fan of crossovers in general, somehow taking the Model 3, lifting it slightly, and giving it a hatchback instead of a liftback shape (aka making the Model Y) noticeably improved the overall looks of it in my eyes. While it’s still hideous and misshapen from the front, the rest of the angles are…

Can’t be plugged in either, so the fact that you can use a 100% EV-only mode at all with such a small battery that can’t be independently recharged is an unexpected bonus. Are there any other vehicles without a plug that let you drive just on battery power alone for several miles?

I don’t know why you’d need to reenter a neighborhood with the engine off. Unless you’re purposely driving in a way to make it loud (which is too fast for a neighborhood anyway), the car shouldn’t be making that much noise once it’s already running. It’s the cold start protocol that creates all the extra noise, which…

No need to wait for the cYBeRtrUCk. Tesla already makes the ugliest American car - the Model 3.

Tesla Model 3. It looks like a Model S that’s been inbred for several generations, then beaten with the biggest ugly stick Elon could find, and the low-end models sit on rims that were found in a junkyard on an early-2000s Kia. The rear angle is the only view where it doesn’t look like a grotesque mutation of a normal…

I don’t know which part of Michigan you live in, but speaking as a Metro Detroit resident who hates any temperatures below 65F, yet for some reason chooses to stay here, I can say the number of days each year where it’s ACTUALLY unbearable to be outside is small enough to count on 1 hand, usually with fingers left…

There’s also Russell Phillips’s crash at Charlotte (fka Lowe’s) Motor Speedway in the early ‘90s. It’s gruesome enough to rival the worst accidents in F1 from the ‘50s to the ‘70s, but it wasn’t in a top-level racing series (NASCAR Sportsman Division), so it’s not surprising that it didn’t make the cut.

And then Mike Harmon did it again in 2002(?). At least that time it was easier to tell which part of the car was which...

I wonder how much of that is him feeling, subconsciously or otherwise, that he needs to prove he belongs in NASCAR, because, well...you know...

Just be careful, or the draft will suck them right out of the pan and blast them up the chimney like it did Clarkson’s breakfast...

You’re right that this doesn’t have any bearing on how good the real Mustang is;  but to your other point, when the real Mustang does go electric, it’s going to make the Mach-E even dumber. What’s gonna be the point even calling this rebadged Edge a “Mach-E” when the real thing is also an EV?

Nope. Will never be a “real” Mustang to me. Although somehow this more “off-road capable” version looks more deserving of the name than the other Mach-E’s, despite arguably being even further from the “real” thing. Maybe it’s the wing, but something about it looks more car-like than the “Edge with horsey logos glued…
