But how does it do if, hypothetically speaking, you were to get into a car chase with Guido the killer pimp?

Man, I should have bought puts on this dog.

Not necessarily. In internal-combustion engines, there’s a tradeoff between all sorts of desired traits, and power is only one of them. Durability, complexity, fuel economy, packaging, emissions, etc...all play a role in how an engine is designed. Considering Honda used to be in Formula 1, it’s clear they have the…

Horsepower is easy in EVs, less easy in ICE vehicles.

Horsepower is basically free in EVs. Here’s how it works: a big battery is needed for longer range. Bigger batteries can dump more amps at once. More amps = more horsepower. Electric motors are wildly flexible in terms of power, so the same motors that power the base model can, with almost no modifications (except…

Sell him an Ioniq 5 at a decent discount and call it a day. H2 is a dead-end for personal transportation.

Fully-autonomous? Like, level 5? Probably not soon. Good enough? That’s already here. The Waymo vehicles around my area have sucked up a lot of the rideshare business, especially for trips shorter than five miles (they don’t use the freeways...yet).

Yeah, that SUV/CrossOver is a total failure. It’s been a “Fad” ever since the first-generation Ford Explorer debuted. The only thing that’s changed is how they’re built (unibody vs. body-on-frame) and the tech behind them. And to kick the EV guy in the nuts...the SUV format is great for EVs since it allows a fairly…

So high that they had to start building stairs into the back of trucks.

Only 12? You’re off by a factor of 1000.

I know, right? Like, yeah, if I had tons of money, I could afford the efficient car for commuting, the big box for Costco runs, the pickup truck for Home Depot runs, and the small, sporty care for weekend fun. But I neither have four parking spaces nor the desire to own four vehicles. Even putting money aside, the…

Even Tesla, who “Pioneered” it because it’s cheap as shit, ditched it in the latest Model 3/Y refreshes. There’s almost no piano black in the interiors now, whereas there used to be large swaths of it.

LOL @ downsizing EV vehicles.

Walking 12+ miles in 110+ temps? Those guys are lucky they get to go to court instead of a morgue.

You’re confusing marginal profit vs. operating profit. Marginal profit is the profit on the next vehicle off the line. Their operating profit is based on a number of factors which may or may not include building vehicles.

Isn’t the Sequoia bigger and less off-roady? Basically it’s a big SUV for people who would buy a minivan, but won’t because “eww! Minivan.”

SpaceX is redesigning everything - including water!

The accident itself doesn’t look that bad. But the question remains: why did the valet take it out of the parking space?

It’s too late, Marge, the mob has spoken!

Genuine question: other than good looks, poor engineering and poorer quality, what were they known for? Their vehicles were never competitive with the latest Mercedes or BMW models. They were always a low-volume marque, and nothing about that has changed since Ford sold the brand.
