I have a friend who owned one and came to regret it deeply. It did look cool, but it was an absolute dumpster fire in terms of reliability, and he ended up fire-saling it for something like a quarter of what he paid.

Honda has finally released more details of its first EV

Yea, the last time I remember thinking I’d consider an Infiniti was when the third generation G came out, more than 20 years ago. The G35 coupe and sedan sounded and looked great, and were available with a manual. All I think of now when someone mentions Infiniti is the sense of disappointment on the rare occasions…

Infiniti QX80. Hideous inside and out, and a horribly outdated vehicle to boot.

It actually looks like a goofy modern version of a Lancia Delta, which I’m just fine with.

Some of the very same politicians who are pushing ICE bans are the ones who created the incentives to drive diesel instead of gas cars in the EU, because of a mistaken belief that their relatively lower CO2 emissions meant they were better for the environment.

I’m not a fan of Sunak, and particularly not a fan of the idea that someone can become Prime Minister not even with just the vote of the party members, but months after losing that vote very conclusively, and doing so in a process whereby the MPs decide who the members even get to vote for in the first place...

The main thing that article achieves is to remind everyone how insanely dangerous motorsports was in the recent past.

There are a lot of entertaining and charismatic car people on YouTube (the Throttle House guys immediately spring to mind). Which makes it even more mindblowing that people still choose to watch Doug DeMuro. It’s not just his manner and delivery, but also the excruciating detail that is clearly just designed to drag…

They are probably keeping it because otherwise no Model Y would be eligible for the $5k Federal government rebate (for SUVs, it only applies if the base price of the lowest priced model is under $60k). Because they have a model in the Y range under the $60k price point, it means the Long Range version is also…

The ultra-loyal zealots who hang of Elon’s every word are a tiny but vocal minority of Tesla owners. For most non-car people, “Tesla” and “EV” are all-but synonymous, with good reason. Many non-car people interested in getting an EV have had the frustrating experience of going to other brands and finding that the…

I also have a Taycan (GTS ST, and I traded in a Taycan Turbo), but if I’m honest I don’t find it fun to drive. It’s fast, comfortable and quiet, extremely well built and generally an extremely nice place to be. I also love the way it looks. But fun? No, not remotely, and certainly not compared to a 911, and perhaps…

You’re right, I really don’t understand how anyone of even moderate intelligence couldn’t figure out how to get to a charger in a car that sucks in many ways, but is actually great at telling you how to get to one of the many chargers it will connect to seamlessly. And you’re also right, I really don’t care about the…

This is the same mentality that leads to instructions telling people not to iron clothes while they’re wearing them.

There are many superchargers within easy reach of this part of the US. They could have gone to any one of these superchargers and plugged in for 10-15 minutes and been on their way.

As much as I dislike both rental car companies and some of Tesla’s products and features, this seems like a situation that the driver could easily have avoided. The Tesla navigation system is very good at telling you where to charge and even for how long. The last time I rented a Tesla from Hertz, you could “plug and…

Even on the air pollution issue, the evidence that ULEZ has done anything is very limited. In Central London, it’s seen a reduction of under 3% of NO2 (compared to the outright false 35% claim made by the mayor’s office) and no impact on particulate emissions. As Glasgow are discovering when emissions increased…

Clearly, charging people as a deterrent for driving into a heavily-congested city is a good idea and should be used to cut emissions in crowded areas.

Seems somewhat reckless to have what looks like a truck parked across the launch area, not too far down the track.
