A car will a propensity for violent snap oversteer is either engineered that way on purpose, or was just not developed all that well. Either way, not great execution. You can make a car that wags its tail on command but still gives you some sense of when it will do that, and not be on a knife edge for control. There…

It has active extenders. The cab back panel is not that close to the trailer.

These base prices make them nearly twice as expensive as a comparable regular cab from the other OEMs (Tesla has no sleeper option), particularly for the 500 mile range variants. They would have to save the trucking companies ~$70-90k over 4 years just to pay for themselves. That’s including many of the things people…

That is not an ACR, so no, that is absolutely a street car. The ACR is a street-legal track car.

This.

Or rather, we should not have more driver-accessible screens in cars precisely because they are a source of distraction. Distracted driving via screen (phone, infotainment unit) is an epidemic. Automakers should not be adding to it. The real pragmatists come up with the best overall solution for the moment, which is…

Knowing how to catch a high power RWD car sliding is one thing. I’m plenty practiced at that myself. Trying to do that with something that is very pointy/snappy isn’t that fun, more terrifying. I said poorly executed, because it takes a little bit of development to get the wheel rates, damping, suspension compliance…

Regardless, both are a significant byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion.

I agree, however more proposals of this sort are likely to turn up over the next few years. Strong voices of opposition to this are needed for it to not be pushed through.

And that would be a much more reasonable discussion, albeit one I’m not sure I support either. Just tax them more.

I wasn’t talking about track cars.

Plan: Stop allowing registration of all ICE-powered cars by 2040. A lot of things of this sort end up being bad legislation that attack the most visible part of the problem, but not necessarily the root or the best way to fix it. CAFE standards are the same, even though I agree with their goal. CAFE is similar to…

1st and Neutral:
F that guy. I want us to work on reducing CO2 emissions as well, for the same reasons, but preventing registration of CO2-emitting vehicles means no one can keep their sports cars or classic cars that are an almost inconceivably small portion of vehicle emissions. As with most things government, the…

Sounds like a terribly executed car.

More money than sense strikes again!

And who are you to tell them that they shouldn’t buy that SUV? It’s their money and their priorities.

If they can do it inexpensively, this will be the game changer that overtakes ICEs.

Looks like good candidates for the next season of...Canada’s Worst Driver.

And anyone who can’t afford to have a second car.
