KBB is NOT a good measure of a car like this. Now I agree it’s probably overpriced unless it went on BAT and got into a bidding war. But since KBB is based on auction and sales values, when there’s something that’s so low miles that there’s no reference point, particularly something that’s collectible/desirable at…

Lincoln MKZ -

I want to send this so hard. I’ve never wanted to send anything more in my life, but this? My gosh. I would send it and then send it some more. It must be sent. The 911 Dakar is begging: “Send Me.” It belongs in low-earth orbit, competing with satellites for send height and duration. I’m glad they’ve though about…

Fricking Baseball team!

Look, if you can handle the sort of flogging that comes from this community for getting one of the mammoth BOF SUV’s from Ford & GM, just do it. $70k still gets you plenty of Tahoe, especially if you just find something coming off lease. I usually am on the sentiment that these are way too big for their own sake, but…

Competitor benchmarking is pretty intensive. Even before they strip a car down to see how it was built, they wire it up to log every performance metric from the real 0-60 time to how quickly the air conditioning cools down the cabin. There simply isn’t enough time in a service appointment to do any of this to a degree…

Model S with 15 motors and 6 wheels coming soon. 0-60 in 0 seconds, top speed of 600 mph. Range - 17,000 miles.

Buying a care solely for the sound that it makes is like eating horrible tasting food just because it looks pretty.

ICE cars are like that too, technically. Many cars you can just bring to a tuner and get more performance without any hardware changes. Of course usually at the expense of fuel economy and reliability. My guess is that paying for the crystal keys is like paying into an insurance fund for increased warranty repairs…

The problem is in finding the optimal tour while going through every desired spot.

Yeah, just like a screwdriver.

I haven’t had my morning coffee yet, but as an Engineer, I spent way too long trying to figure out: “Well, what if I want to loosen the bolt???”

the rear vent is right there... they could have quite simply boxed it off in order to separate it from the rest of the bay.

“...these cars have a very narrow audience.”

DARPA: What exactly did you think we were giving you all that money for??

The power possible in an EV basically comes down to the power (not energy) density of the batteries. Each kg of a battery is good for 300-1500W of power. If you’ve got a bigger battery (or a chemistry optimized for the 1500W/kg instead of 300W/kg), you’ll have more power available.

The irony of a cop saying someone else has a hall monitor vibe.

So while Pokemon Go’s mention is just for clicks, the list of games that use Unity as a base is only getting larger and we could see some interesting things shoved into that head unit to take advantage of that.

This will never not be funny to me:
