Admittedly, if I was Toyota I would be concerned about the bZ4X.   Someone needs to catch that damn cat that named it while walking across the keyboard.   It should be the 2nd highest priority at Toyota.  (First is to take away the ugly sticks from the stylists)

According to Howard, math *is* all wrong...

Makes sense to me, man.

$5000 for clothes? What the fuck is this guy wearing? I don't think I even own $5000 in clothes.

$11K for a trip from the US to Europe? Screw that biz trip and use Zoom or another alternative

Did no one have a ruler? 

This has got to be made for city driving.

Only if you bring back the MR2 too

Lmao you’ve really built up an elaborate fantasy justification for clear failures within Tesla

Nothing is comparable about the NSX and cybertruck though. The NSX could have been delayed for as long as Honda felt was needed - it is a niche halo vehicle with incredibly low production numbers aimed at the kind of people who buy $200k+ exotic sports cars. The LFA is the same way - they scrapped it after finishing…

“I think it’a a reasonable question to ask if the state should be subsidizing fuel bills.”

One thing the article does not make clear is who is paying for the “free” electricity.

Seconded.

Is that still true? I’m pretty sure some recently passed legislation should have been a joke bill, but is now law. Texas is trying to ban doing business from any banking/financial institution that is not actively investing in oil/gas and will somehow enforce that back requiring a complete disclosure of every…

Or ask Australia their thoughts on the matter. They are developing / have developed microgrids with batteries located as consumer residences, and then large scale battery fields that take the place of peaker plants.

I think that they have done a relatively fair job here, since they account only for the emissions created in making the battery, rather than the whole car. In theory (though almost assuredly not in practice), the construction of each car’s frame and other components would produce comparable emissions.

Current EVs are far cleaner over their lifespan by every measure. Engineering Explained has a better video explaining it. People ignore all of the oil production, farming for corn for ethanol and all the ancillary stuff for ICE that they try to cram in when comparing an EV. Getting Oil out of the ground, processing it…

Unless I missed it, this doesn’t seem to account for building the BMW. Just because it doesn’t have a huge battery it doesn’t make manufacturing process CO2 free.

Jalopnik REALLY should have some form of style book for how to talk about foreign car prices in a consistent way, especially when relating them to US cars in USD.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has announced that prices for the ID Buzz electric van will start at 54,430 euros ($57,220) in Germany for the Cargo version and 64,581 euros ($67,891) for the five-seat passenger Pro version.
