Wouldn’t be doing my Jalop duty if I didn’t post the pics of the new Hummer doing some final testing on top of Mt. Evans:

Hindenburg is a short-selling investment house. Meaning they invested in Lordstown’s failure, not their success. So their name is apropos.

Why can’t this work the other way around? Someone drop off a real car as a gift for a hot wheel I own. And in that case I will have the new Alpine A110 please.

Yeah, this. The Leaf was an early one that didn’t figure out battery management, but it was, again, early so its woes get projected onto the rest of the field.

As an EV driver the answer is really simple. Don’t by a Leaf. The lack of thermal regulation on them causes massive degradation of the battery and they’re causing unnecessary concern about other EVs because Nissan is awful at EVs. I drive a Chevy Bolt. There’s a guy out there who has well over 100,000+ miles on his,

6ft bed with the extended cab, anyone?

Well, my recent desire to spend $20k on a Harley Pan America has morphed into a desire to spend $20k on a Maverick...

Prius MPGs with more utility for less money? If you have a family of four and a budget of less than $25K, I don’t see how you buy anything else. 

This is the absolute perfect truck for most people who buy trucks. Therefore Ford will sell about a dozen of them and they’ll be discontinued in three years. 

If anyone is curious, this won’t just be for NASCAR. ECR does a lot of work with GM for their IMSA program and I see it being a hub for NASCAR and IMSA drivers/engineers to test, develop, and build all sorts of cool shit.

They likely would’ve gone out of business. Their over promising is what got them all the investor funding they got.

This tells me A) the 4860 batteries have severe cooling issues that cannot be resolved, and B) There will be no 500+ mile CyberTruck like all the Teslastans keep talking about. Also, I’m getting the feeling that Tesla is having a cash flow issue on top of the other production issues from parts shortages.

This is going to flop in the US market. Who is the target market for this here?

That dashboard looks nice now. It has analog gauges, proper buttons, a screen thats big enough but not gigantic, it works. 

I know I only turn 40 this year, but I suddenly feel old because...I kinda dig it. It’s elegant.

Friends have one of these and the interior is a fantastic place to spend time.  Shit on Buick all you want, but they make a really nice car that is priced reasonably.  Just because most people think it is owned by grandparents is no reason to write them off.  

Umm, the whole article is about the i4, but the tweet about the roundel refill feature is an iX, not an i4.

The one shown here spins up fast enough to stabilize in 15mins and reaches full RPM in about 30mins. Yes, they can be used while anchored or in motion. Their larger units have been available for well over a decade.
The spool up time is really not an issue because you power it on when you are getting the boat ready.

The bearings on the wheels of your car see much more abuse than this ever would and they can last decades. Plus this is sealed in a vacuum so there is virtually no environmental exposure.

Now?  Seakeepers have been sold since 2008

I slept on a couch in the bottom floor of a cabin they rented for the video crew, which was shooting promo videos for Pickman.
