In situations like these, I like to rely on duck typing.

I’m not sure anyone here is suggesting they should be.

Some do coast-down, but others (MAHA, for example) can do steady state driveline loss analysis as well.

I really wish more Tesla owners were like you. I feel like it’d do a lot for their brand. Tesla makes a fantastic car, but it often feels like owners have an all-or-nothing mindset. As if, in order for a car to be good, it must have no flaws at all. Likewise with Tesla. Because Elon is trying to change the world™, all…

I know this is crazy, but stop for a moment and hear me out: maybe some people like different things than you do.

For most people, it’s not the cost of repair that puts them off. It’s the being-stranded-on-the-side-of-the-road-and-waiting-3-hours-for-a-tow-truck part. My wife had an EJ Honda Civic that was an absolutely fantastic car, but it stranded her twice (at a signal light both times) in an 8 month period. I still remember…

BMW Special Lightweight Edition: We really took a hatchet to this thing and dropped 15 kilos (33 lbs).

You’re an engineer, aren’t you? :)

Still disappointed that tuner chip you ordered from eBay didn’t deliver the 30 HP it promised?

The one featured here on Jalopnik is destined for Formula D competition, so it’s not running the ZF8.

The best measure drive train loss by using the dyno to run the driveline through the wheels and measure the energy required.

FK: I just bought a Gullwing today. And by bought I mean, I woke up at 10:30, had a mimosa, and my automotive collection curator Alex surprised me with photos of my new Gullwing. <sips>

But what people don’t realize is that the car isn’t a compromise, it’s a car for a compromised world.

<all together now>

I thought they were. Sorry for offending you.

What are you talking about? I don’t see it.

Here are a couple of tips for anyone who relies on their emergency brake to keep their vehicle stationary.

Mini Truck != Small Truck

I feel like the casual Motorsport community (not directed at you) really underestimate just how competitive the Indy 500 is. Ovals are difficult to begin with, because the margin of performance between drivers is so incredibly tiny. The split between the pole sitter and the last qualifier is 1.8932 seconds. The fact…

Tesla does not have a desirability problem. They make a great product. I’ve only driven the Model 3, but I was blown away. It is a seriously wonderful driving experience, and I question the sanity/objectivity of anyone who can drive a Tesla and say otherwise.
