Marketing and branding. There are a lot of V8 purists out there. 

The Cruise crash shows the biggest challenge self-driving cars will face is the same one we all do- Dipshits. Human drivers also can’t prevent a dipshit in another car from speeding straight through a right turn lane. Stopping mid turn wasn’t a great reaction, but the crash may have been unavoidable by that time. 

I love the way Tesla gets Jalopnik’s panties all twisted.

Yes, the wheels do sorta look similar.

Presumably the infotainment screen will let you adjust the frequency of electrical fires for peak realism

Lucas should make an EV conversion kit so you can get the full British Car experience.

For $180K don’t forget the Porsche Taycan Turbo.  It depends on what you are looking for - Porsche will have better performance, Lucid is going to be a bigger car with more passenger space, especially in the rear seats.  Both will have better fit and finish than a Tesla.

FYI, the word to use there is “biased.”

+1.

The size of the connector is low on my list of wishes. It works fine. Concentrate on other pressing issues.

Second gear: Aptera isn’t wrong about the Tesla plug being more elegant than J1772 and CCS. A CCS cable and connector is about the size of a gas nozzle, but much heavier and less flexible. This is because the wires inside are liquid-cooled due to the massive amount of DC current being pumped through them.

Tesla’s V2…

$30,000 automatic first gen NSX?... ND.

Who bought the 4C? Hank Fuckme?

Leaving the obvious irony and well fucking deserved karma, there’s one more argument in favour: whatever you say about pregnant woman and their fetus(es), I rather grant them fast lane priviledges anyway. I’m not a woman, but I do fucking respect them for traveling around in that condition and, more importantly, it’s…

Only if that shit’s name is Bono.

Maybe the head is poking out a bit. The officer isn’t going to request proof of that are they?

Question if I have to take a REALLY big shit does that count as a person? Because it sure as hell feels like I am giving birth LOL

Let’s not give them any ideas...  these “small government” people love a good excuse to make government bigger to force their ideals on everyone else.

I’m actually cool with this.

Between Omni, and the new variants, which early indication is they hit worse, it does not look like this is going to be an enjoyable back half of the summer.

Neutral: Still not a ton of energy on 2 weeks after I got Covid. I can get around and do life, but I get tired quickly.
