Right out of the box, it is capable of multi-track drifting.

The GTI shares more than a platform with the Golf. It’s not like I’m saying the A3 is the same model.

Skill and practice definitely play a part in this, but if you see the rate at which Red Bull does their pit stops, some think there are active sensors assisting them. 

I’m surprised it’s rated 29 MPG, i’ve been tracking my fuel consumption for 52k miles/5 years of commuting and daily driving I’ve averaged 33.7 MPG in my 2016 Club.

This is such a ridiculous practice in the first place. If you want your employees to buy your cars, just make better cars.

If I were him, I’d probably just be yelling it out to random strangers whether they recognized it or not.

I saw one of these driving through the grocery store parking lot a couple of months ago. I said to myself, “Holy shit, is that a Bricklin?” and the guy must have read my lips because he yelled out the window, “Yeah, it’s a Bricklin!”.

You can make a relatively light EV if you make it a priority. The OG Tesla roadster was 2,700lbs. You could get an NC PRHT almost up to that. And that was with 2008 battery tech. 

Hey John, what about the time you were in Paris for Call Of Duty 3, and the police got called because of the Nazi flags hanging visible from the street?

...and by  CG I meant center of gravity, not Cameron Glickenhaus.  But also maybe Cameron Glickenhaus.  Not in a bad way, though.  I like it.

Ho-hum is the VW way. Even their more exciting designs like the Brazilian SP2 were lackluster in performance. I mean, VW, Volkswagen is literally the people’s car. The people generally don’t need excitement, they need a practical and conventional way to get from one place to another in relative safety, with general…

pretty much making it a quintasential VW.

I think the feeling from a lot of the “ho-hum” reviews is that, up to now, most newer EVs have been offering something “Exciting” and “Different.” They’ve had unique features or eyeball-flattening acceleration or drive-it-yourself tech or SOMETHING that sets them apart from the typical gas car.

They didn’t lie about that - on the test bench, they met emissions standards just fine. The cars were engineered very well and are able to meet all regulations. Just by choice, they didn’t do that when the car wasn’t on the test bench anymore, which is obviously highly unethical. But the engineering was sound.

An argument for use of the fat suit would be that gaining weight, as Christian Bale did for Dick Cheney or Robert DeNiro did for Raging Bull or even Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones Diary, just isn’t healthy. These actors often report that their metabolism is never the same afterwards.

Tesla is basically given free rein in the U.S., outside of the regulations that every other automaker has to comply with, like having factories that follow covid restrictions or not misleading people about cars that can’t pilot themselves.

NIMBYs generally have no good reasons for their complaints.
Razing forests to build more car factories we don’t need is a pretty legit reason for protest. There are already enough car factories in the world.
Pretty sure these protests wouldn’t be there if the immediate environment wasn’t as valuable.

All Tesla plants are haunted by a lumpy South African ghost with bad hair who materializes behind you and mumbles about simulation theory and Roko’s Basalisk
