Obvious solution: quicksand road leading up to the bridge. If you’re too fat for the bridge, you’re too fat for the road. #geenious

A very good point that isn’t made often enough.

This is a good idea. Jaguar kind of sucks right now, and are in desperate need of something to distinguish them. I can’t think of a company better suited for this.

Equally, no (private) charging infrastructure will be built without the user base to help defray costs. We have to just do it.

(I understand the argument, but it is not as if the primary function of the car is to produce data, as is the case with your typewriter example. The situation here is more akin to something like a smart watch maker owning the meta data it produces.)

Ian Callum seems to indicate nothing’s close to settled yet:

Fairly certain the Mehs have Prius wheel covers, which, ~drama~

I’d love if they focused on luxury. For all its excesses, Bugatti is really good at doing understated (yes) and timeless (yes!) luxury. The Chiron interior is one of the most chic motherfucking things I’ve ever seen.

I was in a rental version once. (As a passenger.) It’s like operating a microwave.

I happened to think it looked marvelous since its inception, but for something so odd, I think the Volvo C30 has aged surprisingly well.

“BBD,” though?

Oh, I don’t dispute that Jezza is a jingoistic blowhard.

I mean, we’re also comparing a disinterested observer to a primary actor; there’s a bias here, too. Not that I know enough to determine which has the factually correct view.

If any 3 Series review ever is to be believed, it is the generation immediately prior. At least in terms of driving dynamics. It’s like the 911 in that way.

Before it leaves the factory, an assembly worker blows smoke up every 3-ers ass. Smoke = mass = science.

I feel like they squandered their lead on the LEAF, too. Though we’re yet to see anyone else follow, I suppose.

Maybe the Groovy Rad Hybrid Vehicle from last year? It’s the least least likely.

No, but in aggregate, though? There’s nothing stopping them from selling this information to a broader database where a more complete profile can be curated on an individual level.

You have miserable hot takes.
